BEWC Meeting Recap 9/6/14

Attendees: Jim Halloran, Brandon James, Dan Carey, Alex Wright, Dave Landon, Chris Cregan, Jay Olson, Dave Olson, and Micheal Feinberg.

1)Kingdoms started off the day as Jim Brandon Dan and Alex waited for others to arrive.  Alex just edged out Jim for the victory, 181 to 178.  Brandon ended with 138 and Dan ended with 93.

2) Arkham horror was the main entree, with Brandon, Chris, both Dave’s, Mike trying to fend off Asteroth from consuming the world… atleast for a little while.  The only expansion that was added was The Curse of the Dark Pharaoh.  Good was fortunate at the start and managed to shut down three gates with little going wrong.  Though shortly after this, the few open gates on the board had a series of monster explosions and the heroes were forced to try and quell the numbers before responding to gates.  Some were wounded, more driven insane but they bounced back, and a lucky gate closer removed a nearly invincible beast before it could wreck much havok.  After this it was fairly smooth sailing.  and in the end Good managed to win by closing and sealing enough gates.

3)  Those who did not play in the Arkham horror game decided to play something more realistic, but still with the threat of extinction of all life on earth.  Jim and Dan squared off in Twilight Struggle and in both games Jim managed to out politicize Dan.

4)  Dave, Chris, Micheal, Brandon and Jay all played a game of Dragon Slayer.  Dave managed to win with 47 with a last round gamble that really paid off.  Chris, earlier in the round played it safer with only 45, Micheal, starting the final round had only 30 while Branodn and Jay ended with 24 both getting eaten in the last round.

5)Firefly was played with the expanded map.  The mission had the captains trying to economize their missions, with only three available from each contact and the game ended with three contact piles exhausted.  Chris managed to get off to an early lead, stacking up on engineering and successfully boarding Micheals ship, stealing several of the covetted Jobs.  In the end Chris won at 19700, followed by Brandon at 3600 and Micheal at 2500.

6)Domain was the final game, Chris ended with 40, Dave at 39, Brandoon at 17 and Micheal at 11.
