La Noche Mexicana

After the recent success of introducing Mexican Train to the CPH international crowd, I decided that we needed to organize another game night...this time complete with a Mexican theme.

Let's be honest...what other way is there to start a Mexican fiesta than with a shot of tequila?


I made salsa, guacamole, quesadillas, and sour cream chicken enchiladas. Let me tell you, finding all the ingredients was no easy feat as a raced around town to numerous stores looking for cream of chicken soup and ended up having to improvise, thankfully I was successful!
Thanks to Nikki for a fantastic desert to finish our meal in style. By the looks of it everyone was a huge fan....



And of course...the main event: the Mexican Train competion. Grant and Nikki were newcomers to the game and though Grant struggled at first with the concept of not showing your dominos to the entire table, he quickly caught on and decided that a fort of privacy was the way to go...

We decided not to try and beat the previous record of playing until 5am, and instead only played 5 of 13 rounds...but have no doubt that we will complete the game soon. The preliminary standing are:

Nikki: 57
Sylvie and Grant: 67
Christy: 107
Daniel: 120
Virginie: 166
To be continued.....
