BEWC Meeting Recap 3/19/11

Attendees: John Boyle, Dave Olson, Ryan Frans, Scott Harris, Michael Feinberg, Alex Jordon, Brian Scott, Lane Taylor, KC Deitrick, Jeff Bowen, Jason Bowen

Club Business:

At the next meeting we’ll vote on some games to purchase. Feel free to send suggestions for the list.

Games Played:

1) John, Ryan, Scott, KC, and Michael played 7 Wonders. It was the first time playing for everyone but KC, but the game ended up being closely fought, with John edging out the win.

2) John, Ryan, Michael, KC, and Lane played a learning game of Origins – How We Became Human. A freak 1 in 50 disaster on the first turn ended the ice age, which severely limited the mobility of most of the players by preventing crossing of frozen waterways. Between that and not really understanding all the options available, the game was initially quite slow, but eventually we started to get the hang of it and make some developmental progress. When we stopped due to time, Ryan had accumulated the most victory points.

3) Dave, Alex, and Brian played Starcraft (with Brood War expansion) which Dave won as Aldaris.

4,5,6) Jeff and Jason played three rounds of Battle Line with Jeff taking 2 wins, and Jason 1. They also checked out Command and Colors: Ancients but had to leave before playing.

7,8) Dave, Alex, KC, and Michael played two more rounds of 7 Wonders. KC won the first game, with Michael a distant fourth, but Michael came back to win the second game.
