Long games

No video games for now. Two outdoor games and Risk, yet again.

The first outdoor game was Boule, which I'm fairly sure most are familiar with.

At first we played on a gravel road, but that didn't turn out too well, so we moved to a grass field, which was quite the opposite. The balls bounced a lot and the semi high grass made it hard to actually see the little ball.

My team lost 3 to 10.

The other game, which was a lot better, was Mölkky.

There are twelve pins numbered from one to twelve. They stand in a specific order and then you have to hit them with another pin. You get points in two different ways, if you knock one pin down, you get as many points as that pin's number, if you knock more than one down, you gain points by how many you knocked down. So if you knocked down one pin with a five on it, you get five points. Then if you knock down pin number two, five and eleven you get three points. The goal is to get to exactly fifty and if you get over it, you go back down to 25 points. It's quite a precision game around 38 to 49.

My oldest brother one the first round, me youngest older brother the second round and I won the last round.

The last game played today was Halo Wars Risk. Today we played with achievements, rewards and 2v2v1. It was quite fun, but it got rather late and my youngest nephew doesn't quite have the attention span needed for longer games, unless it's Oblivion in which he can jump on boxes for over an hour. Anyhow, the dices were nicer to me today and I actually started getting somewhere later in the game. Then of course we had to stop, but it was a draw though, both teams and the Flood had one achievement each. Hope to play it more later on.
