First Impressions: Dominion, Ra, and Samurai

This weekend, my lovely and talented wife was out of town for the wedding of her friend.  That left me to my own devices.  Friday saw me in my regular gaming group, and Saturday evening I drove out to Gameology for their Not Closing sale (yay!) and participated in some boardgamey goodness.  I racked up plays of Lost Cities, Fluxx, Citadels, and Caylus, as well as first plays of Dominion, Ra, and Samurai. I felt both very accomplished and highly sated.

News: Dominion Most Played Board Game

Mark Jackson put up his annual report of the 25 most played board games here.  This list is compiled through a number of board game enthusiasts (note - "enthusiast" is polite speak for "geek") who log their plays and the number of players per game.  It includes games that were played five or more times in the past year by the reporters.
