Chris, Michael, David, and Elsa started off with Forbidden Desert, but were beat down by the sun before escaping.

Chris, Michael, Dave, and Alex then played Terraforming Mars. Michael won handily with 71 points to Chris’s second place 54, but a misunderstanding of his corporation bonus gave Michael some extra early turn resources that certainly helped get things going.

Chris, Michael, Brandan, David, and Karen played Robo Rally, where Chris’s mechanical arm gave him an easy win riding the conveyor belts.

Chris Cregan, Michael Feinberg, Jim Halloran, Alex Jordan, Dave Olson, Wolfie Tuk, Chad Willard, and Drake Willard

Games Played

Chris, Michael, Jim, Alex, Dave, and Wolfie played Shadows over Camelot. It was a rough start with two black swords coming out in the first round and Jim being unmasked fairly early as the traitor. However the knights managed to recover both the grail and the Lancelot’s armor and were well on the way to completing their final quest when an ambush while traveling to assist in that quest increased the black swords by one, losing the game.

Chad and Drake played Netrunner, with Drake winning.

Chris, Michael, Jim, Alex, and Wolfie broke out Lords of Waterdeep, with the Scoundrels of Skullport expansion. It ended up being quite a close game, with Michael winning with 149 points, Chris just behind at 157, Alex at 146 and then Wolfie and Jim tied with 134.

They finished up with Space Base, where an early income card on 6 and a lot of kind rolls rolls let Alex run away with the game.

Games Played

Chris, Michael, Dave, and Karen started with three hands of The Mind. They got to level 6 in the first two and the third was looking even better, but then they crashed and burned in level 5.

They then tried Chris’s new copy of Inis. It was a close game and everyone ended up having two victory conditions, but despite a last minute attack, Michael was able to hold on to both of his conditions and keep the Brenn, winning the game.

They finished up with a game of Metro, where Michael won with 65 points, followed by Chris at 61.

Matt Ackerman, Mary Bos, Chris Cregan, Michael Eisenberg, Michael Feinberg, Christopher Gronau, Jim Halloran, and Dave Olson

Games Played

Matt, Mary, Michael F, Jim, Chris F, and Dave started with a game of the club’s new copy of Camel Up. Helped be a lucky early bet on green, Jim won with 42 dollars, followed by Michael at 31 and Matt at 30.

Mary, Jim, and Dave played Rune Stones. Dave just edged out Jim for the win 68 points to 67.

Matt, Michael F, and Chris G meanwhile played Bargain Quest where Michael won with 15 points followed by Matt with 11, but a slightly different adventure card draw for the final adventure phase would have reversed those scores.

Matt, Chris C, Michael E, Michael F, and Chris G tried a learning game of Tiny Towns. Mistakes were made but Michael F ended up with 26 points to Matt’s 23.

With the rules under there belt, they played a second game, with Dave stepping in for Matt. This time there were no rules issues and Michael F finished with 24 points and Chris C with 22.

Chris C, Michael E, Michael F, and Chris G finished up with two games of Space Base. In the first, Michael F’s plan of putting some low VP values in single digits and slowly collecting points worked out and he won with 40 points with Chris C rapidly catching up at 23. In the second game Michael F tried a similar strategy and it again worked, winning with 47 points, but another couple of unlucky rolls and Michael E or Chris C who both finished with 29 points would have passed him with their bigger economies.
