Matt and Jim played Risk: Star Wars Edition.  Matt’s rebel forces won the game by destroying the Death Star.

Michael, Dave and Ben played Suburbia.  Ben dominated, with Dave and Michael as distant second and third.

Matt and Jim played Risk: Star Wars Edition.  This time Matt’s rebels were down to their last fighter in a desperate attempt to destroy the Death Star, but it was not to be.  Jim’s Imperial forces crushed the puny rebellion.

Matt, Michael, Jim, Dave and Ben played Terra Mystica. Michael dominated the game, with Ben a distant second followed by Dave, Jim and Matt.

Michael (Contingency Planner), Jim (Medic) and Dave (Generalist) played Pandemic: The Cure. This game was much closer to a win, with 3 of the 4 diseases cured, and a chance to cure the fourth on the final turn, but it was not to be and the 8th outbreak ended the game.
