We got together and played another game of Rolling Freight. Mike had never played it, so we quickly explained the rules to him. Ben also offered lots of advice on the best strategy for the game. Of course, Ben didn’t follow any of his own advice. (He never seems too.) Ben. Owen, and I have played the game 1.3 times before. Here’s a link to the earlier games. (I never get tired of reading it.)
Our game started out pretty normally except that Ben was really slow to earn any victory points. Usually this is Owen. But just like Owen, Ben caught up and soon was leading (or at least a contender for the lead.) Towards the end of the game, Owen started falling behind and Ben started closing the gap on the leader, me. I think had the game gone much longer, Ben would have pasted me and won. As it was though, I was able to hold him off and win the game. I am currently undefeated after 2.3 games.
I’ve figure out my secret to winning…or at least doing well in the game. Yep, I didn’t realize what I was doing up to now. That should be no surprise to the rest of the guys. I noticed at the end of this game that I did one thing similarly in all of the games. I think that “one thing†is the landmark “thing†one should do to win the game. And I plan on doing that “thing†again, if we play again.
