Alex J., Chris G., Gerald P., Jim H, Matt S., and Michael E. played a game of Twilight Imperium 4 with home systems in the 2nd ring, resulting in a high conflict game with multiple home systems being taken. It was called as a tie between Alex and Matt.
Chris C. and Michael F. taught Duane C. Bargain Quest. In the first game, it looks like Chris was going to win, but then he drew the selfless adventure card which killed his adventurer – not only denied him a point for his adventurer surviving but also costing him two points for getting the musketeer killed. That left the final score with Michael at 16 and Chris at 15. In the second game, Michael was able to outfit the witch hunter with the avenger’s shield, giving him extra attack for every previously killed adventurer and allowing him to overcome the unspeakable one’s armor and win the game at 17 points to Chris’s 15.
Several games of Space Base was played by Jeramee, Jim, Brandon, and Matt, winners unknown.
A game of Mission Red Planet was played by Jim, Dan, and Matt S. with Jim as the winner.
A game of Starcraft was played by Jeramee, Dave, Brandon, and Megan with Brandon as the winner.
A game of Firefly was played by Joe, Matt A., Alex, Michael, and Gerald with Gerald as the winner. The amount of times Michael brought the alliance down on himself and Alex at the same time through bad rolling made for amusingly high levels of disbelief!
