Good Enough to Eat

Another lunchtime game event. We played one Justin brought.

Nacho Loco 2-6 players

This is a bit like dominoes with colors and triangular cards. Every player starts with about 5 or 6 cards. On a player's turn, they can play a card down on the array as long as the color can match with a side. There are a few special sides. If you match a "Skip Next", "Go Again", or "Draw Three choose opponent", then it does exactly what it sounds like. There are also black sides with X's. These can never be matched unless you can complete a hexagon and the piece you add matches two black X sides. Anytime a hexagon is completed, every other player draws an extra card and the board starts fresh. If a player can't play a card, they draw a card. If they can place that drawn card, the can, but if they can't, then their turn ends. The first player to get rid of their cards wins the round and gets points based on the cards left in everyone else's hands. First to 20 points wins.
I had played this before. Darrin and Sarah own it. I'm glad Justin brought it since I didn't bring any games for 6. We just played until someone went out. I was close to a win, but I wasn't able to place my last card and had to draw another. Brian, who played next, was able to end the game.

We had very little time left, but we played Citadels anyway. There were some new comers to it, but we powered through. I had a blast and burst out laughing a couple of times. Elizabeth probably got hit the worst, but I think she rolled with the punches well. We only played about 4 or 5 rounds and Sarah got the win. Lunch needs to be longer.

Tally: 64/153  Bonus: 20/50
