Games Played

1) Michael F, Dave, and Karen started with a game of Attika, which Dave, as usual, won.

2) Dan and Tom spent most of the day playing The Destruction of Army Group Center, which held true to historical form and Dan’s Soviets were victorious over Tom’s Germans.

3) Michael F, Michael K, Dave, and Shawn played an extremely close game of Pillars of the Earth, which ended with Michael F at 41 VP, Michael K at 42 VP, and Shawn and Dave tied with 43 VP. Shawn had the tiebreaker of more money remaining, giving him the win. A more thorough reading of the rules after the game revealed that Michael F shouldn’t have lost a VP for being only 1 gold short on his taxes (the king strangely rounds in your favor), making the game even closer.

4) Michael F, Joe, Alex, and Elaine played Agricola, with Alex winning, Michael right behind him, and Joe and Elaine tying for third.

5) Michael K, Dave, Karen, and Shawn played Thurn and Taxis, which was another close game, with Dave beating out Michael by 1 point.

6) Michael K and Shawn played Ascension, with Shawn once again winning by a single point.

7) Dan, Michael F, Dave, and Alex played Mare Nostrum. Dave’s Roman legions made an early foray into Michael’s Egypt before turning on Dan’s Carthage. Alex’s Greek triremes were able to interdict the Romans at sea, but no one was able to stop their rise to power and Dave’s victory.

8) Joe, Michael K, Karen, Elaine, and Shawn played Betrayal at House on the Hill. Michael K was revealed as the traitor in the Let Them In haunt and despite dying in the process, he and the madman were able to let in all of the specters and overwhelm the explorers for a traitor victory.
