Well, I was indeed able to talk the boys into a round of Mille Bornes. The three of them clocked over 4500 points (toward a goal of 5000) by game’s end. Me? 3500. Then we played Carcassonne. The three of them racked up respectable scores. Me? I had seven points on the board until game’s end, at which point my partials got me up to about 40 points.

See, you definitely want to play games with me; I’m quite good at making sure other people win, and I still enjoy the game for the experience itself so while I may show some disappointment I don’t bring the whole party down because of it.

Still, it’d be nice to win on occasion…
