BEWC Meeting Recap 8/3/13

Posted on by

Attendees: Mellissa Bassett, Bruce Clark, Michael Feinberg, Jim Halloran, Brandan James, Alex Jordan, Joe Kauffman, Dave Landon, Karen Landon, and Dave Olson

Games Played:

1) Bruce, Brandan, Alex and Dave L started off with Blokus, with Dave winning.

2) Brandan and Dave L settled in for War of the Ring, where Dave L achieved a military victory for the forces of Sauron.

3,4) Bruce, Michael, Jim, Alex, and Dave O played two quick games of Tsuro. Dave won the first, and Alex the second.

5) Bruce, Michael, Jim, Alex, Karen and Dave O moved on to Flash Point: Fire Rescue where we successfully got 7 victims out of the hotel with no fatalities.

6) Mellissa, Jim, and Joe played Rune Wars. Joe’s elves suborned a neutral dragon on the first turn and the threat of his forces kept Melissa penned in. Surviving severe clashes in the center of the map, Joe was victorious.

7) Bruce, Michael, Alex, and Dave O learned Sid Meier’s Civilization: The Board Game (the 2010 Fantasy Flight version, not the 2002 Eagle Games version). Despite the complexity and only Bruce having played before, we made relatively few rules errors. Alex’s Egyptians got out to an early lead with strong city development and moved well on the way towards both the technological and economic victory conditions. His neighbor Bruce’s Russians had been building up their military and moved in to try and slow him down. Dave’s Americans were also moving towards the tech victory condition and joined in on sniping at Alex. With Bruce and Alex concentrating on each other, Michael’s Romans continued their steady progress up the culture track and achieved a cultural victory, one turn before Alex would have made it to the economic victory.

8,9) Brandan, Dave L, and Karen played two rounds of Attika, with Dave winning both.

10) Brandan and Karen played two hands of Lost Cites and Karen ran away with both.

11) Dave L and Karen taught Brandan Galaxy Trucker, with Dave winning yet again.

12,13) Brandan, Dave L, and Karen played two games of Ticket to Ride. First was the Switzerland map where Brandan won, followed by India which Karen dominated.

Attendees: Dave Olson, Jay Olson, John Boyle, Ryan Frans, Kelly Burnaby, Zachary Burnaby, Scott Harris, Michael Feinberg

Club Business: None

Games Played:

1) Dave, Jay, Ryan, John, and Michael played Space Hulk: Death Angel. It was close, but with only two of their 12 marines left and facing total annihilation the next turn, they managed to complete the mission.

2) They then played an experimental game of High Frontier, though they did not finish it due to time constraints. While initially quite complicated, they all enjoyed it and look forward to playing a full game now that they have the game mechanics down.

3) Kelly and Zachary played Lego Minotaur, which Kelly barely won.

4) Kelly, Zachary, and Scott played Dominion Intrigue, with Scott winning.

5,6) Kelly and Zachary played Zombie Dice to an inconclusive result and then Robo Rally to a victory for Kelly.

7) Dave, Jay, Ryan, Kelly, Zachary, and Michael played Citadels, where Michael just edged out Ryan for the win.

8,9,10) Dave, Jay, Ryan, Kelly, Zachary, and Michael played three games of Incan Gold, though Dave and Jay sat out the last to start cleaning up. Zachary won all three games.

In after-hours play at Scott’s house, Scott, Michael, Josh Lichti, and Chris Gronau played a sprawling game of Rune Wars which Josh suddenly won by capturing one of Chris’s cities, capturing his fifth dragon rune and simultaneously fulfilling his objective to receive his sixth and final rune. They followed up with a tumultuous game of Munchkin, which Scott finally won when no one had anything left to knock the other players down with.
