BEWC Meeting Recap 2/19/11

Attendees: Dave Olson, Jay Olson, John Boyle, Ryan Frans, Kelly Burnaby, Zachary Burnaby, Scott Harris, Michael Feinberg

Club Business: None

Games Played:

1) Dave, Jay, Ryan, John, and Michael played Space Hulk: Death Angel. It was close, but with only two of their 12 marines left and facing total annihilation the next turn, they managed to complete the mission.

2) They then played an experimental game of High Frontier, though they did not finish it due to time constraints. While initially quite complicated, they all enjoyed it and look forward to playing a full game now that they have the game mechanics down.

3) Kelly and Zachary played Lego Minotaur, which Kelly barely won.

4) Kelly, Zachary, and Scott played Dominion Intrigue, with Scott winning.

5,6) Kelly and Zachary played Zombie Dice to an inconclusive result and then Robo Rally to a victory for Kelly.

7) Dave, Jay, Ryan, Kelly, Zachary, and Michael played Citadels, where Michael just edged out Ryan for the win.

8,9,10) Dave, Jay, Ryan, Kelly, Zachary, and Michael played three games of Incan Gold, though Dave and Jay sat out the last to start cleaning up. Zachary won all three games.

In after-hours play at Scott’s house, Scott, Michael, Josh Lichti, and Chris Gronau played a sprawling game of Rune Wars which Josh suddenly won by capturing one of Chris’s cities, capturing his fifth dragon rune and simultaneously fulfilling his objective to receive his sixth and final rune. They followed up with a tumultuous game of Munchkin, which Scott finally won when no one had anything left to knock the other players down with.

BEWC Meeting Recap 2/5/11

Attendees: Dave Landon, Karen Landon, Scott Harris, Chad Willard, Michael Feinberg

Club Business: None

Games Played:

1,2) Dave, Karen, Scott, and Michael played two games of Lego Harry Potter – Hogwarts. Both games were quite close, with Michael winning the first and Scott moving up from last place in the first to win the second.

3) Dave, Karen, Scott, and Michael played Incan Gold with Scott winning.

4) Chad joined them for a game of Galaxy Trucker. As usual it was heavily unbalanced to whoever finished their ship first, but Dave managed to catch up to Michael’s early lead and tie the game.

5) Dave, Chad, and Michael played War of the Rings with Dave leading the Free Peoples to victory over Chad’s Isengard and Michael’s Sauron. The shadow floundered early, loosing the Witch King and Saruman in battle and failing to take Helm’s Deep, but rallied back and came within one point of corrupting the fellowship of the ring before it reached Mount Doom.
