Talisman: The Board Game

I decided to take a few photos from tonight's board game called Talisman. We decided to change it up from our regular Tuesday night game and try it out. As you will see, the board game with the two map expansions takes a lot of place. It took us just over three hours to complete the game with only three players. Normally we would be at least four, but one person backed out tonight, which is probably not a bad thing, as the more players you have the longer the game can be. For those maybe familiar with this game and for those not so familiar, we were playing the fourth edition of the game with all the current expansions (view link to Fantasy Flight Games for more info). Tonight, it was the Dread Knight that was victorious! The photo above is of the Dread Knight with the Grim Reaper in the background (Fear the reaper as you could easily loose all of your character's lives!).

Savoury donair

Tonight was my normal Tuesday board game night at my old library. We continued on our game of Descent and I suggested we try a new place tonight. On the bus ride (no.85) from downtown, the bus stopped in front of Centertown Donair & Pizza (they don't seem to have a web presence). However, they advertise their donair's as being Halifax style donairs. If you've ever been to the Maritimes, or pizza corner in Halifax, you've hopefully tried out Halifax donairs and you know it's not your typical Ottawa style donairs. They come with a sweet garlic sauce, and the meat is a bit spicier compared to regular donairs. I have to say, they were TASTY! Just like I remember the donairs out east! Might not look appealing to everyone, but it all has to do with the taste! If you ever want an out of town experience in Ottawa, try out these donairs and you won't be disapointed!

Yummy Donair!

Tried to take over the world...

Tonight, I had a boys night with my Thursday night soccer teammates. We had decided to play Risk, and we knew that there would only be one victor, one person who would rule the World! Well that wasn't me! I was the first one out! I had a series of bad rolls of the dice, and I got attacked in all directions from the get go, as two guys made an agreement that they wouldn't attack each other on one border, which meant one guy had to go through me and I was trying to secure North America and got annihilated in a handful of rounds! Ah well, it was lots of fun. After our game, we decided to play a different game called Ticket to Ride, which I had never played, but basic strategy game where you need to create a long railroad visiting different town on a North American map. I ended winning that game, so I didn't get to rule to the world, but I won at the second game. Unfortunately, I was so concentrated in the second game, I forgot to take a photo of the game. However, here's my shot of Risk:

Another gaming Sunday...

Tonight was another gaming night. My friend Tariq wanted to host a gaming night, and 7 of us decided to come in and play. Tonight's game was Arkham Horror, which isn't the easiest game to understand, when first looking at it, but it is a fun game. If you ever feel like playing the world of H.P. Lovecraft, try this game out!
