I played Hey, That's My Fish!, Cartagena, Carcassonne, Lord of the
Rings (the co-op) and Mr. Jack.

Cartagena is a new game at my house, but has been a success so far -
all kinds of people playing it and enjoying. I guess I'd count it as
the best game of the weekend, although the LotR game was quite good -
with a bitter ending, as we had managed to get to Mordor and we were
on space 60 when suddenly we lost one of three hobbits (Pippin) and
then Sauron advanced three spaces and got the rest of us.
