We successfully played some games last week. It wasn't a large crowd, and the games weren't new. But it was a definite turning point for me.
We started with Bohnanza (which was new to one of the players). It's the new edition, which doesn't include the Third Bean Field. I was initially puzzled by this, but then I read a ton of forum threads and learned that that third field is a trap. Players who buy it rarely win. Which - now that I think about it - matches my memory of the gameplay.
We followed that with a game of Skull & Roses (I know that the current edition is just Skull, but I have both of the original boxes).
We wrapped up with two games of We Didn't Playtest This At All. The game continues to be everything Fluxx wants to be. That is: good, random filler fun. If a game lasts ten minutes, you've probably missed a rule somewhere.
We wrapped a bit before ten. I was exhausted - I'm out of practice at dealing with people in person, and even when I'm used to people, I still find them tiring at best.
But it was good. And a start. With more to follow.
