At Settlers Cafe

Went to Settlers Cafe at North Canal Road yesterday. I had been to here once before with another group of friends. The 3 of us, S, XY and me, had our dinner at Circular road before walking to the cafe. S had reversed a table for 4 at 8pm. But StupidGenius would arrive a bit later.

So the 3 of us went in to the cafe first. The staff recommended a game called Sequence to us. The objective of the game is to form a row of 5 on the board, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Each player have 6 poker cards on hand and would place a tile on the board based on the card played. There are 2 types of special card, the one-eye Jack and two-eyes Jack. Playing the former would remove one of the other players tile from the board whle the latter would allow the player to place a tile anywhere on the board, just like a wild card. SG arrived halway through our game. XY was the winner for this game.

The next game that we played was Fearsome Floor. Each players would control four different pieces. The number of steps each piece could move is given by a number on the piece itself. And there were 2 sides to the pieces to signify day and night movement. The objective of the game is to move all 4 pieces out of the board. And then there is a monster, which moves after all the players had their turns. This monster would always find and go for the nearest player it sees. When the monster touches a player's piece, that piece would have to go back to the start pont again. So the game involves a fair bit of thinking so as the pieces would not be 'eaten' up by the monster whenever the turn ends. However, as I am the last player to go, most of the time my moves are straightforward. As it turned out, I am the 1st to get all the pieces out of the board, being in an advantageous position.

Time is up when we completed the second game. After this, we went to Circular Road for supper. SG ordered a fishball mee sua which he said is nice. Well I guess I can try that out the next time we go there again, which happens to be very soon...
