It looks like G~ (who came over for dinner and gaming, and is sleeping on the couch tonight, to fully verify that the cat-infested environment won't make him allergic) will probably be my new roommate; he seems non-allergic thus far. DEC is staying over tonight as well, so it's a pretty full house...
Settlers was good. Had one round where I thought I was going to win -- bought a dev card, which turned out to be a soldier, which set me up to win (by playing for largest army) the following turn. Then, after a turn from DEC which didn't interfere with my nefarious plans, G~ played Road Building and wiped out my longest road, followed by a Monopoly which killed my ability to build another road (which would've linked my two segments and given me an irreversible hold on Longest Road), then Xta played a soldier and killed my shot at Largest Army, as well. Oy. Two rounds later, Xta won on a dev card victory point. Her turn, I suppose; I won at Bab5 last week...
