More of the same...

Thursday gamers were a bit thin on the ground and the group consisted only of me, Profmudlark and Crabro so we decided to indulge in a proper train game while we could. We played the three-player map of the Belgian metro in Martin Wallace's great railway game "Steam" again, and had a very close game. I finished second only one point behind Crabro with the Prof a bit of a distant third. We had enjoyed it so much and played it so quickly that we decided to play it again. This time I was second by one point to the Prof with Crabro third.  Consistent if nothing else. The games had been hard fought and satisfyingly close contests though so I think all of us were happy with our evening's work. After my first day of fresh air for a while and being on my feet all day, I couldn't stop yawning early on and in fact I had rather doubted my ability to play a serious game effectively when so sleepy, but I was most definitely competitive in both games to my surprise.
