BEWC Meeting Recap 3/19/11

Posted on by

Attendees: John Boyle, Dave Olson, Ryan Frans, Scott Harris, Michael Feinberg, Alex Jordon, Brian Scott, Lane Taylor, KC Deitrick, Jeff Bowen, Jason Bowen

Club Business:

At the next meeting we’ll vote on some games to purchase. Feel free to send suggestions for the list.

Games Played:

1) John, Ryan, Scott, KC, and Michael played 7 Wonders. It was the first time playing for everyone but KC, but the game ended up being closely fought, with John edging out the win.

2) John, Ryan, Michael, KC, and Lane played a learning game of Origins – How We Became Human. A freak 1 in 50 disaster on the first turn ended the ice age, which severely limited the mobility of most of the players by preventing crossing of frozen waterways. Between that and not really understanding all the options available, the game was initially quite slow, but eventually we started to get the hang of it and make some developmental progress. When we stopped due to time, Ryan had accumulated the most victory points.

3) Dave, Alex, and Brian played Starcraft (with Brood War expansion) which Dave won as Aldaris.

4,5,6) Jeff and Jason played three rounds of Battle Line with Jeff taking 2 wins, and Jason 1. They also checked out Command and Colors: Ancients but had to leave before playing.

7,8) Dave, Alex, KC, and Michael played two more rounds of 7 Wonders. KC won the first game, with Michael a distant fourth, but Michael came back to win the second game.

Club Business:

John and I rearranged the game cabinets, so one of the cabinets contains all of the old magazines, papers, and 70s era wargames we never play, and the other cabinet has all of the games we do play all in one place.

Games Played:

1,2) John and Michael played two rounds of one Battlelore scenario. Clearly Don Pedro the Cruel’s goblinoids are no match for Henry of Trastamara’s dwarves, since despite Michael and John switching sides for the second play through, Henry’s forces dominated both times.

3) We then played Starship Catan, where Michael overcame John’s early lead and then a lucky encounter with a pirate gave him enough fame points to take back the Hero of the People title and its associated victory point for the win.
