Civilization
Had a really nice day yesterday celebrating Dom's birthday. I went over to Mr and 
mrsdominic's
house at midday and spent a little while chatting away before Dom and
myself decided to pull out the copy of 'Civilization' we had arranged
to play that afternoon and run through a few turns before everyone else
turned up to make sure we remembered/knew the rules.
Now Civilization is one of my favourite games. I sadly don't get to play it all that often, mainly due to the length of time it takes (it's one of the longest games I know and we've had games last a good 6-10 hours before :p). I also usually play with 6 or 7 players but yesterdays gathering was with four. Dom,inskauldrak
and Ronnie. The game itself was once again great fun with many
advancements, population expansions, natural disasters and a few little
skirmishes thrown into the mix. I decided to tackle life as Crete and
was fairly pleased with the results. Considering I had a little island
and couldn't expand until I built a ship it didn't pan out too badly
for me. I managed to start populating a few different areas along the
rim of the Mediterranean without too much conflict. In fact I think the
only person I ended up really fighting throughout the game was the
birthday boy himself :p
Anyway, after the gamemrsdominic cooked us all a nice meal and joined us with Eleanor for feasting and then much chatting until hometime.
Great fun. I think we're oragnising another days outting for
Civilization too as all four of us enjoyed it and seem to have caught
the bug again!
