Pitstop Yet Again

Once again, I went to Pitstop Cafe on Tuesday, this time with only S and StupidGenius. Upon reaching, Timo told me that my brother had visited Pitstop over the weekend some 2 weeks ago. I was pretty surprised as I didn't know about it. Perhaps he had gone there after reading from my blog... :P

This time we only managed to play 2 games though. The first game we played was Modern Art. On each turn, players buy and sell paintings in an auction. There are 5 different types of bidding in an auction, i.e. Open, Fixed, Once Around, Sealed, Double. In a Double bidding, 2 paintings are sold during the turn. After each season, paintings are valued by the number of paintings of that type that were sold. A game consists of 4 seasons. The winner of the game is the player with the most cash after the end of 4 seasons. I won this game... :P

Next we played A Dog's Life. Had wanted to play this on our last visit. But they haven't figure out how to play the game yet (at least this time they had). This game is rather fun. As the name suggests, the player becomes a dog in the game and can do things such as, deliver newspaper, search the trashcan, mark a lamp post using poodle etc. The objective is to gather 4 bones at the dog's starting location. The starting location is determined by randomly choosing a card. There is also a dog-catcher roaming around at the end of every turn.

Every dog in this game has its strength and weakness, which we can only find out by playing through the game. I was constantly caught by the dog-catcher, and in the process, dropped all the stuff I'm carrying at that point of time. This is a pretty long but interesting game, maybe even more fun with more people playing. In the end, SG won the game (though we only got enough time to gather 2 bones).
