Thoughts & Observations:

• We managed to play a six player game in roughly three hours.
• Both Zepka and Trokodile hadn't played against us before.
• Here's a before/after photo.
• And a few more pictures.
• This was a fun game that featured several lead changes.
• I'm glad we managed to get together and play.
