Of course, we would need to actually HAVE a gaming rotation.

This game seems to be our December "Go to " when we can meet. I also noted that on those occasions I managed to get wiped in several trials before eking out a small victory in the 3rd or 4th game. In retrospect I might be rather bad at this game....Dartfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786991975241723198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-61336596578385225362016-12-05T16:51:17.246-08:002016-12-05T16:51:17.246-08:00They were Sohei models representing the Takeda, so...They were Sohei models representing the Takeda, so perhaps I offended the dice spirits....Dartfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786991975241723198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-87618488327322140262016-12-04T11:30:27.596-08:002016-12-04T11:30:27.596-08:00Thanks Jon!Thanks Jon!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-2523301934897231672016-12-04T09:31:57.916-08:002016-12-04T09:31:57.916-08:00Most rewarding evening, indeed!
