Attendees: Michael Feinberg, Greg Chandra, Ryan Frans, Chris Cregan and Dave Olson

1) Android was the first game.  Ryan was the only experienced player and ended up winning due to a good start.  The conspiracy was quickly filled in, to the detriment of most players starting story mission.  Through out the game there was a battle between the spacers and those earth bound for clues, each side trying to keep clues on their side of the atmosphere.

2+3)Guillotine was next.  A simple card game in which a queue of French aristocrats line up to have their heads chopped off.  Most of the game was manipulating the line to get the more valuable nobles up when it was your turn with the axe.  Michael won both games handilly by picking on the guards whose point value varies based on the total number of guards.

4) Finally a game of Robo Rally was played.  Michael managed to complete his hat trick with this game by getting all the objectives.  Greg was determined to be in 2nd place as the last robo-man standing due to his opponents all self-destructing.

1) Chris, Michael F, Alex, Brandon, Dave and Bruce played a “short” game of Twilight Imperium.  It was most everyone’s first or second game, and turned into a big learning experience for all.  In the end it was a close race, with most everyone competing for the win the final turn mostly due to a stronger presence on Mecatol Rex for the majority of the game.  The 2nd to last turn Chris took the center planet using an army built up over the entire game.  Even then it took Dave invading Michael’s territory, taking his capitol planet to prevent a potential counterattack.  The next turn though saw Dave move in on Chris’ territorys in a bid to take two enemies home systems, which was an outright win condition.  Unfortunatly he only took half of the home planets, which was not enough for Dave.  It was enough to prevent Chris from achieving points from his Mecatol conquest.  Brandon, having played the entire game at peace with his neighbor Michael finally declared war attempting to get his secret objective complete.  Unfortunatly, a nebulus blocked his army from invading too far in and Michael was able to win with 9 VP.

2) In non-twilight related news: some people lost game, others won, maybe some ties…  I think a game of Power Grid happened.
