A Good Night To Look Up


We had some friends over for games night-a slightly different group than usual but great fun all around. We're getting more people into it but be warned, we discovered that playing Carcassonne with seven players can turn ugly.
The aurora is awesome tonight and according to the site I use (in my sidebar) you all should be able to see it across Canada and even those of you in the northern U.S. should look skyward. We took plenty of breaks from our game to bundle up and head outside-it was only one colour but it was moving and covered a giant area of the sky. We were lucky to have seen it given that it snowed all day. In fact, you can see ice crystals in the air in this picture. The rest of the pics are a little grainy but they give you a small taste of the show we got tonight.

Those pictures are excellent. You wouldn't be able to tear me away from the sky. Although you do have boardgames now so maybe you could. 7 player Carcassonne? That would be ugly. I think it's best played with 3 but no more than 4. We played a 6 player game over the weekend but it was mainly to teach a few people how to play. We also tried out Ra for the first time. Totally awesome. One of the best games I've played in a while. A few other poeple broke out one of our other new games called Alhambra. It was also a big hit.
