Gugong, Graduation, and Games

I have read the rules of Gugong and am now ready to play and probably lose. I start my summer job working at edible arrangements on Tuesday. Not sure when the hours will be yet. This last Thursday was graduation. All of these students that I've taught for the last three years are now gone. (Two years ago I taught them as Sophomores, last year as Juniors and this year as Seniors.) It's really sad to think I won't see most of them ever again. If you took your intestines and laid them out flat, they'd be 30 feet long! (You'd also probably be dead, but that's another story.) I can't wait to see family and play games next week!

Lords of Waterdeep, Come Visit, Newest Board

Nothing better than poking out those pieces!

Box with Board

The organizing tray in this game is top-notch.

Bought the game Lords of Waterdeep from Amazon earlier this week. I've played it a couple of times and it's awesome. Never won though, I don't think. Anyone, it's been on my rader for quite a few years, and is ranked 73rd on BoardGameGeek. 

Can't wait for my family to come down and visit so that we can play *cough cough* *hint hint*. Speaking of which, does anyone want to come down and visit and play games? Mom? Dad? Eric? Ryan and Angeles? Hannah and Kaellen?

My school only has two weeks left. Graduation is on the 27th. Then it's Summer Vacation!

I'm part of a Boardgame group in Mesa on Facebook. On Saturday June 5 is a big games-playing event in Mesa that I'll be going to.

Finished the board for Chief Judge of Zarahemla. Maybe I'll put something in the ocean in the upper left. Anyway, here it is:

Happy Mother's Day! Plus, some fun facts, Cthulhu, and Zarahemla cards

 

Happy Mother's Day mom!


The above picture is of Elder Perazzo (Alex)'s videocall for Mother's Day.

Hannah wanted us to remind her to run a 5K. Hannah, run a 5K.

Want ot know something cool? The Great Wall of China is blooming OVER 13,000 MILES LONG! And now you're thinking, oh that's not that long, until I tell you that from the East coast to the West coast of the USA is only 2,800 miles long! (Or 3,500 miles depending on which site you ask.) So, yeah, the Great Wall of China is pretty big. 

How far away is our moon for Earth? Every single planet in our Solar System (and Pluto) can fit in the space between the two. I've probably mentioned this before on my blog, but I'm repeating it again because that's SO COOL!

The first line of The Call of Cthulhu is "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents."

And now for some pictures of the cards for Cheif Judge of Zarahemla (still in the works):

Not Moving, Chief Judge of Zarahemla

Our landlords let us know that they no longer need us to move out. So we renewed our lease for another year! Yay!

Been working on a game called Chief Judge of Zarahemla. Where you, uh, try to become the Chief Judge of Zarahelma. By getting the most Votes ("victory points" shh don't tell anyone).

Below is the board I made for it:


More news to come.
