Posted on by

Attendees: Michael Feinberg, Jim Halloran, Matt Walker

1,2) Michael, Jim, and Matt played two games of Dominion. In both games, particularly the first, everyone spent too long building up their decks before cutting over to collecting victory points. In the first game, Michael won with 21 points from a single colony, single province, and a handful of VP chits from playing monument, while no one else had moved on from their starting estates. In the second, all three players were going for villages, bridges, and peddlers, but it was a little closer, with Michael winning with 19 and Jim just behind at 15.

3) Michael, Jim, and Matt moved on to Kingsburg, where Michael won with 42 points and a miscalculation on the final combat by Jim led to Matt just edging him out for second place, 32 to 30.

1)  The day started off with a nice friendly game of Blokus.  Jim won with a commendable score of 25, Karen had 19, Matt ended with 17 and Michael got 12.  The second game saw Matt get 17 again and Michael got 12 however these ended up being the high scores in a much more confrontational game.

2) Next up was elephant racing in Formula E.  It was a mad scramble as sacred cows continually blocked the way of the racers making them smash together in several deadlocks.  Karen managed to break out of one of these cow walls only to close the hole up behind her allowing her to distance herself from the pack.  While she was continually plagued by mouse problems she managed to cross the finish line just as the rest of the pack was starting to make it near scoring range.

3) 7 Wonders with Dave’s new leaders expansion was played next.  With a very heavy military focus Michael managed to destroy his opponents getting a grand total of 80 points.  Over twenty points more than 2nd, everyone else was neck and neck though.  Next up was Karen and Dan at 59, Chris at 55, Matt at 53  Dave at 52 and Jim at 47.

4) Finally there was a five player Firefly game.  In the mission The Choices We Make players got goal tokens for completing Illegal jobs, and what’s more they could STEAL goals from other players with a successful piracy mission.  Chris managed to win after attacking Greg, stealing one token from him and gaining another for a completed illegal piracy job.  From Jubal his captain to his expanded 9 person crew he was well set up for piracy.  Michael though, had over a fifty-fifty chance to beat him a turn before, attempting to board Dave for the victory.  Dave had some thrillin’ heroics though and soundly rebuffed the attackers.  It should be noted that it was Dave, Matt and Greg’s first game.
