How Alistair Learnt to Play Dominion

  • This item of general business is brought to you by Ed Kammann
  • It was the fresher welcome of 2017
  • I was a little baby fresher, new to uni, and unigames
  • And I rocked up to the event and was like
  • This thing is cool
  • It should be fun
  • This weird looking guy came up to me and said
  • Hey do you wanna play a board game
  • (drops out)
  • This is one of my favourite games
  • It's called dominion
  • That wasn't a drop out, I stopped talking
  • And effectively all you need to know is that there was me and another fresher and then ed absolutely whooped our asses with no consideration for the fact that we were freshers
  • Taylor: The epilogue to that story is that we banned ed from playing dominion with freshers that year. I would have been elected prez the day after that. Every time ed played dominion with freshers it was like, no you fucking will not
  • Thank you ed for donating to charity

Significant Announcements
