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.

Chris Cregan, Michael Feinberg, Robert Gohl, Jim Halloran, Alex Jordan

Games Played

Robert, Jim and Alex started with two games of 7 Wonders. Alex edged out Robert 59 to 56 to win the first game, while Jim came back to win the second with 57 over Alex’s second place 53.

Chris, Michael, Robert, Jim, and Alex played Lords of Waterdeep with the Scoundrels of Skullport expansion. It had seemed like Michael was ahead most of the game, but Chris completed a quest that let him put three buildings into play, earning him steady income from them and at the end revealed the builder lord giving him 6 points for each building. That put Chris just over the top, beating Michael 127 to 125.

Chris and Michael played two games of Star Wars: Rebellion. In the first, Chris’s rebellion gambled on locating their base in Geonosis, immediately adjacent to Michael’s imperial forces in Rodia. The rebels started off with a surprise assault on Rodia, but were unsuccessful, and the feint to Naboo did not draw off the imperial forces who invaded Geonosis and with the help of some luck with dice, Michael won on turn 3.

For the  second game of Rebellion, Chris and Michael switched sides and played a longer game of cat and mouse, with the imperials steadily marching through the galaxy, but not finding the Rebel base and the Rebels winning small victories. On turn six however a powerful imperial force found the Rebels on Yavin. If they could have held out against the initial assault, plans were in place to evacuate to Endor and for a different force to assault Coruscant, quite possibly leading the Rebellion to victory, but it was not to be – the base fell and Chris’s imperials were victorious.

Club Business

Jim, Michael, and Chris were named to the nominating committee for 2017 officers. Elections will be held at the 1/21/17 meeting.

Matt Ackerman, Matt Bozzonetti, Chris Cregan, Michael Feinberg, Alex Jordan, Ben Samuelson

Games Played

Matt, Matt, and Alex played the ‘First Time in the Captain’s Chair’ mission of Firefly with a pile of expansions. Matt Ackerman playing as Jubal in his intercepter was able to cruise to a quick victory.

Chris, Michael and Ben played Kemet. Michael was ahead going into the last few actions when Ben moved against him, taking two points and moving himself to the lead. Michael was able to fight back and reclaim the lead, but Chris had the last action and managed to conquer one of Michael’s temples for a 3 point gain for him and a loss of 2 for Michael, giving Chris the win with 11 and Michael and Ben each with 9.

Matt B, Chris, Michael, Alex, and Ben played a second game of Firefly, this time using the ‘Rims the Thing’ setup and the ‘Any Port in a Storm’ mission. This was quite drawn out when all of a sudden just about everyone was close to completing the goal, but Chris was able to make it back to his haven first with the necessary 12,000 credits.

Club Business

The club voted to purchase Captain Sonar and a set of DnDeeples for Lords of Waterdeep.

Matt, Jim, Ben, and Jeramee had a close game of Power Grid which Ben won with 17 cities powered, just ahead of Jim with 16 and Jeramee with 15.

Chris, Michael, Jim, Ryan, and Ben finished up with Lords of Waterdeep and the Scoundrels of Skullport expansion. Michael’s exclusive completion of commerce quests combined with his lord pushed him to a 156 point victory with Chris in second at 131.

Games Played

Michael, Alex, Jim, Dave and Ben played Defenders of the Realm.  Chalk up another loss for the defenders.

Lionel and Dave played Tide of Iron.  Dave’s US forces made a successful assault on the not-that-heavily defended target zone in the intro scenario.  Lionel’s German defenders were outnumbered by the assaulting US squads and fell quickly.  This scenario may not have been overly balanced.

Michael, Alex, Jim and Ben played Civilization.  It was a long game, and Michael’s Chinese empire was ultimately victorious.

Lionel, Chris and Dave played Pirates of the Spanish Main.  Chris sunk Lionel’s and Dave’s ships, earning the title of most fearsome pirate of the high seas!

Chris and Dave played Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends.  Chris picked up his third win of the day with a commanding win.

Attendees: Bruce Clark, Michael Feinberg, Jim Halloran, Victor Liu, Dave Olson, Jay Olson, Matt Walker

1) Bruce, Michael, Victor, and Jim started off with Lords of Waterdeep with the Scoundrels of Skullport expansion. After being behind for most of the beginning, Michael thought he had a chance to win after completing a 25 point quest and then following up with a 40 point quest soon after, but Jim used his plot quests to good effect to clear out all of the corruption he had accumulated and won with a commanding 156 points to Michael’s 130, with Bruce and Victor just behind at 119 and 116.

2,3) Michael, Jim, Victor, and Matt moved on to play two games of Dominion. The first game was the predefined ‘Biggest Money’ set from Prosperity. On the last turn, Michael had a little extra money and an extra buy, so bought an estate in addition to the colony, and that one extra point proved decisive in his 44 to 43 point win over Jim. The second game was with a random set of cards, but Michael was again victorious, this time with 59 points over Jim’s 41 point second place.

4) Michael, Jim, Jay, and Matt sat down to the First Contact mission of Battlestations with Dave serving as the referee. With the alien planet sending out a steady stream of missiles, the team decided the best plan was to run as far away as possible and send a science probe to investigate instead. Jim (the pilot) had to leave early, but not much piloting was needed to keep running away. Jay’s really lucky shooting kept the missiles from hitting the ship while Matt narrowed down the alien’s hidden message and the team was able to send back another probe with a message of peace and warp away before being destroyed by the missiles for an ‘overwhelming success’.

Club Business: Dave Olson, Dan Carey, and Jim Halloran were appointed to the nominating committee for 2014 officers.

Games Played:
1) Dan, Michael, Karen, Dave L, Victor and Alex played Lords of Waterdeep with the Scoundrels of Skullport expansion. At the end of the game, Michael was slightly ahead in points, but Alex’s lord gave him 5 additional points for every 10 point quest he had completed, putting him over the top of Michael 120 points to 114.

2) Jim and Dave O settled down to Twilight Struggle where Jim’s USSR was forced to launch his nukes first, making Dave’s Americans the “winner” of the global thermonuclear war.

3) Jim, Dave O, Beth, and Eric moved on to City of Remnants with Eric just beating Beth by two points.

4) Dan, Michael, Dave L, Victor and Alex filled a couple of minutes with Trans Europa which Victor managed to end victoriously in the first round.

5) Dan, Michael, Rhonda, Ryan, Karen, Dave L, Victor and Alex played Robo Rally. Dave ran away with the game, getting to the 3rd glad while only Michael and Ryan had managed to reach even the first flag.

6) Dan, Michael, Rhonda, and Karen moved on to Puerto Rico, which Michael one, with Karen edging out Rhonda for second place by the tie breaker of having more money remaining.

7) Ryan, Dave L, Victor, and Alex played EVE: Conquests, where after a few too many mistakes and too much time, they decided to call and learning game and write off as a draw.

8,9) Dave O, Beth, and Eric played two rounds of Escape: The Curse of the Temple. From what we could hear over the soundtrack, they won one and lost one.

10) Michael, Rhonda, Karen, Dave O, and Beth played Ra, with Michael winning with 48 points and Dave in second with 36.

11) Michael, Karen, Dave L, and Alex finished up with Guild Hall. It was a close game that Dave might have one if Alex hadn’t stolen the cards he needed, and then Alex one on the next turn, just before Michael would have if the turn order had reached him.
