Minds Cafe

Just last Friday, Shan, Nick, Erina and I found ourselves cracking our minds at the mind cafe(pun intended). For a place whose whose slogan is "it's your next move", it actually was quite difficult to move around in the place. I think that factor contributed a little to my not winning anything.

That aside, I thought the games were really quite interesting.

We started off with a game about beans. The objective of the whole game was to get as many coins as you can by growing bean farms of every bean imaginable. There's green bean,red bean,soy bean, long bean, stink bean, blue bean etc. Throughout the game, however, I was thinking of the Soya Bean ice cream from Mr. Bean. It's really good.

Sidetracking a little, when my friend first told me about the ice cream , the first image that came into my mind was this, which felt a little weird.

Mr. Bean

It is my firm belief that because of that, I lost the bean game by a hair to Shan.

We then took out this game called Settlers, which is also a name of a place which provides almost identical services to the mind cafe. The pretty looking game consists of quite a few hexagonal pieces pieced together by the players in a certain order. The aim of the game? To get as many points as possible by building settlements, cities and all this is decided by a roll of a pair of dice.

Erina won the game much to the chargin of our more experienced players,(read: Shan and Nick) who attributed her win to beginner's luck. I am quite sad because I lost, yet again. But being the good sport that I(sometimes) am, I decided to give a nice big smile during the group photo during which Allison and Daryl suddenly popped out of nowhere and joined us.

The scores settled

Silky, famous and somewhat over-hyped Selegie Road Tau Huay then found it's way to our stomachs after which Nick, being the nice person that he is ,sent everyone of us home.

Except Daryl who reluctantly went back to the mind cafe again as his friends were there.
