With no-one in the mood for church building this week, Hamburgum and Notre Dame were returned to the loft to be replaced by Ra, frequently played as the second game of the evening, but we hadn't played it as the main game for a while. The usual Derren-ing and Russian Roulette antics. Final scores Stuart 40, Andy and James both on 38, David 28 and Kieron on 24.
Then another outing for new-ish dice game Alea Iacta Est. Good fun this one, although the rules are too long and not well written. I found an excellent half-page summary on BGG that we can use next time to start playing sooner, plus a simpler explanation (in larger print for Andy) of what each SPQR Senate card does.
Final scores: David & James on 48, Kieron 39, Andy 35 and Stuart 34. The rules state that a tie for first place is resolved by the points value of unallocated patricians. David and James didn't have any, so according to the next bit of the rules, they "rejoiced in their shared victory". But not for long... Kieron swiftly pointed out that "a victory shared is a victory halved"!
