Day 1477. January 16, 2021. Lagos...
We've been playing many good games lately. So whenever Alice asks, "Do you want to play a game?" and I answer, "Sure. But you choose!" it feels like opening a box of chocolates. You never know what she's going to pick!
Will she be in the mood for dungeon crawling with Karak or Dungeon? Maybe she wants to race down the mountain with Avalanche At Yeti Mountain. A game of giants and gems where she will try to find and win with the wizard again? A nerve-racking road art construction with Tokyo Highway?
No. Not today.
"The Circus game, daddy. And this time, you play track #6 when the game starts!"
Track #6 as the Kids Carnival Circus theme for the Meeple Circus soundtrack.

Probably, the strongest dexterity game in the world.
Because the game is over too fast for us, we've started to play two games in a row whenever possible. The setup doesn't justify only one play. This is a good thing for the part of my mind that likes to discover a game's inner layers. Even partyesque games like Meeple Circus.
Like the fact that if you're behind the clap-o-meter, you can change one of the public demand cards to try and stop opponent's performances. Or how you can disregard public demand cards as a plan B. Focusing only on brute force claps by using the different acrobats to the best of their abilities.

Developing a good core acrobat performance.
A strategy that Alice is discovering that works best for her. She often finds it difficult to grant what the audience requests. Getting nervous, dropping horses and beams at the last minute. But when she focuses on putting blue acrobats on the floor, as many yellows not on the floor, and all the red acrobats up high in the air, she'll achieve a better score.
Not enough to be competitive, since the show's countdown still trips her more often than not! But in time, she'll become a great circus performer.

Another quiet day inside The Wretched.
Fixed the micro-holes from the asteroid storm we ran into, when the ship dropped out of quantum travel and into normal space. We couldn't fix them at the time because as soon as the storm had passed, we noticed that something else had entered the ship, besides the asteroids.
After patching the holes, I moved back to the android's room to continue working in the Tomb, as I've started to call it. It's apt, I think. Once I'm done with it, I'll be sealed inside the room, hopefully, secured, and in a state of cryosleep for who knows how long. I'm hoping for six months. Twelve at most, although the cryotubes were designed to last much, much longer. Fifty years? Seventy? But I've never heard about anybody waking up without minor brain damage after anything longer than a two-year sleep.
I just hope it doesn't take that long for someone to pick up the distress signal and come rescue me.
This is Alex, the last survivor of The Wretched, signing off.
