Tote Board
- Hera & Zeus Dan, Bob Bob: Taught the game to Dan, suggested strategy, and he whupped me.
- Das Amulett Rachel J (8 gems, 7 colors), Bob (6 gems, 7 colors), Carol (5 gems, 7 colors), Dan (4 gems, 6 colors), Dave (6 gems, 6 colors), Noreen (6 gems, 6 colors) Bob: Very close game. Going into the last turn, it looked like four players were in a position to win, with Rachel J far behind the pack. Due to some shrewd card-buying and resource hoarding, Rachel pulled out the victory ahead of everyone else.
- Web Of Power Dave 56, Bob 52, Dan 46, Carol 43, Noreen 39
- Easy Come, Easy Go Noreen, Bob, Dave, Carol, Dan Bob: I rolled four perfect rolls in a row. That is, on my first four turns, I won an award with a single throw each time. And yet, I lost. Once I had secured my third award, before the turn would come back around to me, someone would steal one of my awards. Noreen finally acquired her third award and held onto them for the entire round. Afterwards, Dave noticed that we were playing with one more person than the game takes. Oops.
- Pizarro & Co. Noreen 50, Bob 42, Carol 41, Dave 39, Dan 36, Rachel S 34
- eXXtra Bob 21, Dan 13, Alex 12, Rachel 7, Carol 3
- Robo Rally Team A: Bob, Dave, Bill, Alex; Team B: Carol, Jason, Dan, Rachel J Bob: Capture the flag, 2 boards. Team B started out strong, forcing the fight to Team A’s board and immediately threatening Team A's flag. Team A started out in disarray and had a hard time making progress towards B’s flag. Finally, some good defense with Dave and Bill slowed Team B and Carol’s mistaking left for right after she grabbed the flag killed her and ended the B team offensive. Meanwhile, Bob and Alex raced for Team B’s flag, Bob got it and pretty much sailed home for the victory.
- Primordial Soup Dave 42, Alex 41, Jason 37, Bob 32 Bob: Great game involving ameobas fighting it out in the primordial soup but I’m not convinced that the Frugality/Substitution strategy is beatable. Dave got those two genes and won. Jason came up with a nice movement combo of genes. Bob sucked most of the game but managed to get “Struggle for Survival” too late to win.
