Some friends of mine came over last night to play some games. We played a four-way game of Munchkin for the first hour or so, and it has to have been my favorite game of Munchkin ever. It was pretty close toward the end, and ended with a two-way tie (me and a friend) with the other two people tied at level 9, due to a well-placed Divine Intervention card. Good stuff.

After that, we played Puerto Rico, which I enjoyed thoroughly. I didn’t win, but that’s never stopped me from enjoying the hell out of a game. I was a tobacco entrepeneur, and came away with the most victory chips because of it. However, the other two guys playing beat me by more than 10 points each because of their buildings. I got a 42 score, while the other two players got 46 and 47 (so another reall close game).

In other news, a game I designed that I submitted to a prominent game company was recently rejected. They had asked for a prototype, but decided against buying the rights after playing it. I’m going to keep trying, though, and I’m going to use this opportunity to improve the gameplay. I can’t say I’m not dissappointed about the rejection, but the representatives of Atlas Games gave me a lot of good, constructive criticism, and I’m going to utilize their expertise as much as I can.
