February 24, 2007

Hey everyone. Just time for a short (and late) report from last Saturday’s gaming. Aside from non-playing kids and teens, attending were Bob and Carol Jones, Dave and Noreen Fair, Erik and Jenny Light, Dan Korn and Rachel Silber, Laura and Eric Reinhold, and Bill, Stephanie, and Jason Ruvinsky. Thanks to everyone who brought food and snacks.

The tote is below (winner listed first):

  • 6 Nimmt - Dave 51, Dan 55, Noreen 64, Carol 72, Bob 73
  • Ticket to Ride 1910 - Dan 151, Noreen 139, Laura 134, Carol 56 (ouch)
  • Pillars of the Earth - Dave 50, Bob 48, Erik 46, Eric 45.
    • Bob: A good close game of what’s been described as “Caylus lite”. I made a last minute jump but it wasn’t quite enough to catch Dave.
  • Quo Vadis - Bill 23, Dan 15, Bob 14, Carol 13, Stephanie 12
    • Bob: Bill just outclassed the rest of us.
  • Settlers of Catan: China - Laura 7, Noreen 6, Dave 6, Eric 3
  • High Society - Bob 13, Stephanie 12, Bill 12, Carol 9, Dan least money.
    • Bob: Really close game. The only way I could win is if Dan had the least money. Fortunately, he did.
  • Einfach Genial - Rachel S. (all 18s), Carol, Noreen, Stephanie
  • Big City - Dan, Bill, Bob, Dave
    • Bob: I had spots for two churches reserved. I put one down and was about to place the second when Bill opened up a church spot for Dan and Dan built, taking the last church and the game.
  • Railroad Tycoon - Dave 66, Bob 59, Carol 58, Jason 50, Noreen 45
    • Bob: Incredibly close game. I had myself one point above Dave for the final score but, unnoticed until the end, Dave had the longest route and was able to grab the 8 point Tycoon card, giving him a win by 7 points. I maintain my apparently miraculous ability to finish second place in this game.
  • Dragonland - Bob 43, Carol 41, Jason 41, Dave 24

My apologies to Jenny for the timing not working right to get her into a game (she was watching the uber-cute Jennifer). Next time the Lights attend, my main goal will be to get Jenny into a game. Promise.
