New crack

[ciphergoth]

Fantastic weekend, thank you so much werenerd and some_fox!

I have new crack thanks to webcowgirl:

Samurai (board game)

Online play

Incidentally, it looks like we played with two small errors in the rules:

- Players are supposed to pick their starting five tiles, not draw them at random

- A player that has the majority of more than one kind of figure wins automatically

Right, I have shaved off what was starting to be a passable beard (left the shaver at home on Friday), so off to work I go.

Samurai is one of those games that captures all sort of people, from gamers to non-gamers. It's a filler, of course, but a great one. Caught me completely by surprise how successful it was among my friends!

As for the rules, if you are 2 or 3 playing it's rather easy for one to get more of two and winning straight on. The scoring overall is not that complicated once you get the hang of it, it's just explained in a very complicated matter.

And, yes, you are supposed to pick your first 5 but to be honest, that only matters if you have a specific starting strategy and even there...
