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.

Games Played

Michael (Cheyenne), Jim (Ghost), Alex (Doc) and Dave (Django) played Colt Express.  It was a close but chaotic game throughout, but Django pulled out the win with $2000, followed by Doc with $1900, Ghost with $1300 and Cheyenne with $1000.

Michael (Doc), Jim (Cheyenne), Alex (Belle), Dave (Tuco) and Tim (Ghost) played Colt Express.  Another close one, and we actually played the movement rules correctly this time.  In the end Ghost came away with the win with $2200, followed by Doc with $2150, Belle with $2050, Cheyenne with $1500 and Tuco pulling up the rear with $1000.

Lionel (Empire) and Dave (Rebels) played Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game.  This was with the introductory quick start rules.  The rebel X-Wing was able to take out the 2 Imperial Tie fighters for the win.

Michael, Jim, Alex and Tim played Starfarers of Catan.  Michael came away with the win, with Alex close behind.

Lionel (Rebels) and Dave (Empire) played Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game.  This was played with the full rules and a 70 point build.  The rebels, with 2 X-Wing fighters led by Wedge Antilles, took on a swarm of 4 Imperial tie fighters.  Some early high accuracy shots by the Ties put the rebels at a distinct disadvantage, and in the end the numerical superiority of the ties was too much for the X-Wings to overcome.

Michael (Sir Palamedes), Lionel (Sir Galahad), Jim (Sir Pericival), Alex (Sir Bedivere), Dave (King Arthur), Tim (Sir Tristan) played Shadows Over Camelot. The knights (Bedivere and Galahad) successfully fought off the Picts and were able to complete the grail quest early (Arthur, Palamedes and Bedivere). Unfortunately, the Black Knight and the Saxons were able to successfully attack Camelot. The score was 4 white swords to 2 black. Soon after, the knights (Percival, Tristan) won the Excalibur quest making the score 6 white, 2 black.

At this time intrigue in the court saw Sir Percival accusing Sir Tristan of being a traitor. Sir Tristan proved that he was loyal, throwing suspicion on Sir Percival. Unfortunately, when the false accusation took place there was a card in play that caused 2 white swords to flip to black on the round table (4 White, 4 black). A couple of additional losses to the minor quests saw the score go to 4 white, 6 black. The Knights put a card in play allowing them to win ties, so they just needed 2 more white swords to win.  Percival revealed that he was a traitor forcing the knights to discard some cards. The Saxons were threatening another successful attack on Camelot, which would have guaranteed a loss for the loyal knights.  In the end Sir Palamedes was able to win the Lancelot’s armor quest (with a card in play giving an extra white sword), and the good guys pulled off a win with 6 white to 6 black swords.

Lionel (Rebels) and Dave (Empire) played Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game.  The rebels, with 2 X-Wing fighters piloted by Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles, took on a group of 3 Imperial Tie fighters.  This was a much tigher battle, but in the end the rebel scum were defeated to the glory of the empire!
