The second game of the night was another odd one. It’s not unusual for setting up to take longer than the actual game. Usually it’s not over
quite
so quickly though.
In normal Piddinghoe fashion, we were more interested in stitching each other up in the initial placements than in grabbing a nice area. So it was probably no great surprise that at the end of the game, some chains hadn’t expanded beyond their initial camel. Of course, the Great Pink Camel Rush of 2010 didn’t help. Andy and Tel both decided they wanted the majority in pink. Paul decided he fancied a bunch of them too to surround an area. We blinked. Pink gone. Game over.
Joe and Steve had wisely decided to stay out of that little competition. Joe busied himself with placing camels onto water and beside trees. Steve mopped up the majorities in most of the remaining colours. This proved to be the winning strategy.
Packing up took longer than playing the game too.
