Rice and Dice

Last Friday I was invited to an evening of  board games and curry. I was asked to bring along Pirates Cove which is one of the games in my collection.  On arrival we enjoyed pre-dinner drinks outside on the deck of the Titanic.  We then moved inside for some rather delicious curry dishes served in the Titanic’s dining room (complete with portholes).  I am sure that by now you think I have taken leave of my senses but, no, not on this occasion.  A few weeks ago my friend’s house had been decked out (excuse the pun) to resemble the Titanic for a themed party.

After the meal we set up the game.  Name cards were produced for the people who were taking part (these can be seen below).  I am not at all sure about mine!!!

We play a house rule that makes it more likely to encounter legendary pirates, which are very powerful.   This meant that there were quite a few battles,  both with the legendary pirates and between the players. After fierce competition, I was pipped at the post by single fame point after lagging behind for most of the game.

A fun evening was had by all :-)

PS:  In the offing is a pirate themed party so I wonder what the house will look like next time I visit…
