Games Played

Michael, Jim, Dave and Jeramee played Buck Rogers: Battle for the 25th Century Game.  We played some version of the base game mixed with the advanced game with some elements of the fan inspired Version 2.0 from BGG.  Jim took control of Wilma Deering and set up base on Earth and the Moon.  Jeramee took the role of Black Barney and owned Mars AND Mercury, with a small presence in the asteroid belt.  Michael played as Buck Rogers with his forces split between Venus and the asteroids.  Dave controlled Killer Kane with forces on Venus and the asteroid belt.

Wilma and Barney jumped out to early leads running unopposed on Earth/Moon for Wilma and Mars/Mercury for Barney.  Kane and Buck figured out early on that they should form a non-agression pact if they were going to be able to compete with Wilma and Barney.  Kane made an attempt on Mercury, but was quickly thwarted by Barney’s numerical superiority.  Buck and Kane both made some inroads in the asteroid belt.  Barney made an early attempt to infiltrate the Earth sattelites, but Wilma was able to repel the attempt.  Barney also made a move against Buck on Venus, but was unable to capture any territories.

In the end, we did not get to finish the game since Jim (Wilma) had to leave early, but at that point Wilma was moving to take Mars from Barney, and Buck decided to back-stab his loyal partner and fellow Venusian Killer Kane.  The score when the game was abandoned was Jim 14, Michael 13, Jeramee 12, Dave 3.

Michael, Jeramee and Dave played The Castles of Burgundy.  Final score: Michael 93, Jeramee 68, Dave 59
