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, Brandan James, David Landon, Karen Landon, Alex Wright, and Elaine Wright

Games Played

Chris, Michael, David, Karen, and Alex started with Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig. Karen and Michael shared the high score at 61 points, but Karen’s other city was higher at 69 points to Michael’s 64, winning the tie breaker.

Chris, Michael, and Brandan explored the galaxy in Star Wars: Outer Rim. Michael got to 11 points first, but then didn’t have enough money to hire Chewbacca that would have gotten him his 12th winning point, allowing Chris the chance to win a risky combat and get his 12th point. However while cleaning up they noticed that Michael had forgotten his refund for equipment he had traded in earlier in his last turn, which would have left him with enough money to win the game.

David, Alex, and Elaine played A Feast For Odin with the Norwegian expansion where Alex just edged out David 117 to 108.

Chris, Michael, Brandan, and David played another game of Star Wars: Outer Rim where this time Chris was the clear victor, hitting 10 points while  David and Brandan were still at 7.
