On Sunday 17th February, some friends and I arranged a games day, Dubbed "ChepCon" - as it was held at Owen's House in Chepstow.
Eight players were planned, however only seven managed to arrive. So While we decided what to play with Seven, and then weather or not to break up in to 2 separate groups of 4 and 3. We kicked off with a game of Category 5
I manged to win the first game of the day.
As I had brought a few games that played 8, we thought we would try some, so we had a game of Bang! with 7. First time for me with a full game including 2 deputies and 3 outlaws. The outlaws won, and in true outlaw style, were arguing amongst themselves about who, of the 3, actually won. They seemed happy to carry on like this, so we didnt attempt to correct them in that all outlaws win.
Then we managed to get Owen's girlfriend, Fred, to play a game of Diamant. The only game of the day to get the big 8 players. There were a few grumbles when I suggested Space Dealer with 8, ah well, maybe next time.
After lunch we split into 2 groups, using half each of the same table, we decided on Thebes and Thurn & Taxis
As Steve K, Jake, Steve R and Owen played Thebes at one end of the table, Jason, Paul and myself played Thurn and Taxis at the other end. We slightly mis-judged the playing times of each, as we managed to get 2 games of Thurn and Taxis played to one of Thebes. Paul managed to win both. Steve K was the winner at Thebes.
As we again mulled over what game to play next, Citadels was suggested. Owen doesnt like citadels, so opted out to assist Fred in the kitchen in making some Stuffed potato skin snacks for everyone.
Another Win by me!
Last Game of the day was Cowboys: The Way of the Gun
We scoured the rules, but couldnt find a scenario for 7, so we did the standard multi-player shoot-em-up - The "Deathmatch", last man standing!
All using pistols and some special cards, we started anywhere on the big map and went after each other. Jake managed to win this by hiding most of the game and then pciking off the wounded at the end - he obviously knows how to do deathmatch properly.
We called it a day at 6.30pm. Well called it a day at Chepstow, 4 of us returned to the regular Sunday evening session in newport for a few more games,
