that it might be a weak night as the crowd was small ... YET ... when we counted
we had 28 gamers !!! Gamers came and went and we think that there were more than
41 but that is what the sign up list had on it. I left at midnight and gaming

MOSSL OFFICE - 08/01/03 - 34 gamers in
attendance. - Hot Time Tonight !!!
Hope y'all had a grand time in Baltimore and are coming
home with enough "wood" to stoke the CABS fires for years to come. We held the
fort down on Friday. All sorts of stuff being played. Since I
don't have AC at my place, I thought the AC was a nice touch, but the others
were less impressed. We ended up opening the doors after the sun set and that
did seem much better. I snuck out a one point victory in a Union Pacific game
(thanks to UP stock) to finally win my first CABS game. Then we gave Royal Turf
a good workout from my collection trying both blind (much preferred) and open
bidding.
Much yelling and cheering over that one. Then I got caught up in an endless
Settlers of Catan where the resources that were needed never ever (and I mean
ever) came up. Man, did that drag. Funny how even a classic can suck sometimes.
Closed out the night with Danny playing Chrononauts which was as much fun to
play as it was to see that Danny had memorized all the character cards. Probably
got out of there around 2AM with a smile on my face as usual....Not bad at all
for an "off" night... Paul

Union Pacific, Wooly Bully, Gigantum, Paths of Glory, Medici, Royal Turf,
