Matt Ackerman, Mary Bos, Chris Cregan, Michael Eisenberg, Michael Feinberg, Christopher Gronau, Jim Halloran, and Dave Olson

Games Played

Matt, Mary, Michael F, Jim, Chris F, and Dave started with a game of the club’s new copy of Camel Up. Helped be a lucky early bet on green, Jim won with 42 dollars, followed by Michael at 31 and Matt at 30.

Mary, Jim, and Dave played Rune Stones. Dave just edged out Jim for the win 68 points to 67.

Matt, Michael F, and Chris G meanwhile played Bargain Quest where Michael won with 15 points followed by Matt with 11, but a slightly different adventure card draw for the final adventure phase would have reversed those scores.

Matt, Chris C, Michael E, Michael F, and Chris G tried a learning game of Tiny Towns. Mistakes were made but Michael F ended up with 26 points to Matt’s 23.

With the rules under there belt, they played a second game, with Dave stepping in for Matt. This time there were no rules issues and Michael F finished with 24 points and Chris C with 22.

Chris C, Michael E, Michael F, and Chris G finished up with two games of Space Base. In the first, Michael F’s plan of putting some low VP values in single digits and slowly collecting points worked out and he won with 40 points with Chris C rapidly catching up at 23. In the second game Michael F tried a similar strategy and it again worked, winning with 47 points, but another couple of unlucky rolls and Michael E or Chris C who both finished with 29 points would have passed him with their bigger economies.

Games Played

Matt, Jim, Dave, Ben, and Wolfie started with Space Base, which Jim won.

Michael and Emily both did make it to the landing bay, but were knocked out in the same turn before escaping the ship. Michael won  on points, 73 to 70, but if one less of Emily’s cubes had been drawn in the last attack, she would have gotten to an escape pod and won handily.

Chris, Alex, and Emily played Dinosaur Island where Chris built the best (least deadly?) theme park.

Chris, Wolfie, Aylin, Jim and Dave played Mission Red Planet.  Chris won.
