Dorkstock West LogoDS West:  Dork Tower Board Game

We had a blast playing the Dork Tower Board Game by Steve Jackson Games.  The World's Greatest Husband, a.k.a. Brian Curley, gave me my copy for Valentine's Day, and my first chance playing the game was at Dorkstock West with John Kovalic, The Lovely and Talented Judith Kovalic, The World's Greatest Husband Brian Curley, and Doc Cross.  Then later in the weekend, another group of people came when I ran the game as an event.  So many people showed up that Bill, one of the players, went to his room to fetch his copy of the DTBG that he just bought, so all 12 people could play.  Thanks, Bill!  -L.

Doc's Draw
Doc Cross played Igor's character of Topdeck perfectly;  this was his first draw:
Turbonium Dragon:  15 points
Kobold-Kin:  2 points
Bandits:  3 points
Undead Knight:  10 points
Total:  30 points


John's Draw
What John drew when he tried to face the wizard.  Note:  to defeat the wizard, you must defeat 5 encounters.  Brian played another encounter on him, and John drew 2 "Lair" encounters which made for two more encounters added for a total of eight encounters.  Needless to say, he died.  Judith won, and John will never forgive my husband for casting a scroll that took away John's ring before he had a chance to use it!
