Tonight at the Tuesday Night Gamers club, I played a game called St. Petersburg where you buy various cards that either give you more money or more points and only do so during certain rounds. Stavros and I had never played, so we got trounced by Alex and Jay, longtime players. As it turns out, Jay was one of the co-designers of the game, a fact he hadn’t mentioned. 😉

Then I got further schooled in Carcassonne, one of my favorite new games. I had been scoring the roads and cities incorrectly all this time. Jay publishes Carcassonne, so he’d know. He won that game too.

I gave him a portfolio of my artwork. Today I even mocked up a Carcassonne-esque set of tiles and put that in there. Thought it might amuse him. I’m not sure my style is a fit for Rio Grande Games, but we’ll see.
