played a little "Shark Dodging" on Saturday here...

I've recently (this summer) introduced the following to my seven-year-old:
- Munchkin (won one each)
- Empire Builder (he's won two games, but I've had crappy cards to start both times)
- Settlers of Cataan (biggest problem is, he wants to buy development cards too soon)
Wondering what he could actually accomplish if he had been on the Ritalin for the summer!
Da Pic
getting in a few turns of For the People a week and also The Devil's Cauldron. Playing on VASL, as long as that counts.

My Opponent (Rob Drozd) took a break to attend WBC, and then we resumed.Currently in an on-line 'War at Sea' Ladder. Start of Turn 7, I'm down by two POC. Need to get this convoy through a heavily damaged German fleet with plenty of U-boats in support. Can I do it?
Convoy got through, (in fact all three of them did)-- but his wolfpacks had another 'happy time ' on turn 7, breaking my North Sea blockade while he repaired his surface fleet. Bismarck, Tripitz and a few Cruisers sail into the South Atlantic turn 8 and hammer my weary battle squadron, so a very close game goes to the Axis here.
Played my usual 'Big Med' opening, but my old wagons got smashed by the Italian fleet on Turn 3. This after sinking the two German battlecrusiers on turn 1.
Couldn't stop those pesky U-boats, though.![]()

Scrabble. Against the wife. Worst defeat ever. I dread playing this against her because I've only won once in 15 years. She went to the bathroom while I set up the board and palmed a seven letter word along with an A so I could go first. (ok, yeah I admit it, I cheated, but did tell her at the end). Made the first play with a seven letter double word score and still lost on her last play of the game. Cheaters do never win!
Ticket To Ride with my 7yo, just starting to introduce the route cards. Also the dragon and princess expansion to Carcassonne with him. Top stuff and easily dumbable down both.
While watching the Yankees destroy the Royals on Sunday, my 10 year old son and I played Pizza Box Baseball. He pitched a complete game shutout 3 hitter to beat me 7-0. Good thing I didn't take it easy on him. I tried everything I could think of, switching pitchers, stealing, etc. It was good fun...
