Rachel went back to Toronto last night. She'll be back in Israel for Passover. I'll be visiting her in Toronto for the last two weeks of February, give or take. Sigh.
We played two games of Puerto Ric before she left. I used my classic set of buildings. I won both games, much to Rachel's disgust.
The first I won with massive corn shipping together with a Commodity Exporters. Victory points ran out like the dickens. The second game I won by stopping the boats and a coffee monopoly with Factory, building three big buildings by the game's end to her none.
