After a day of lead-chasing and skills-testing...

...I went to a games party tonight after supper. Three games of chess, all of which I lost, and two rounds of Ticket to Ride, a train travel-themed board game. I didn't win at that game either, but I had fun playing for over two hours. It's been a while.

Also, Ticket to Ride has to be the first board game I've seen that takes places like Helena, Montana, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and Winnipeg seriously enough to include them as objectives for players to reach. Not a bad thing.
