October 11, 2007 Session Report

We had another good week attendance-wise, including two first-timers to the club. Heather (friend of Gabe's) and Larry (who was picking up a Crokinole board from Stan) joined Paul, Gabe, Doug, Carlos, Nicole, Beth, Sarah, Eric, Stan and myself to bring the total attendance to 12 for the sessions. We played a series of different games as we spent most of the evening divided into two groups.

At one table, Gabe, Carlos, Paul and Doug played a four-player Tsuro which was won by Doug. There was a game of Incan Gold (and perhaps others) completed, don't have scoresheets or results -- sorry. Other games that I do have scores for are Ticket to Ride, which was won by Paul with 119 ahead of Carlos at 107, Gabe at 98, Sarah at 90 and Doug with 85. Paul also won a four-player Boomtown over Sarah, Gabe and Doug. Take 6 was a three-player, won by Paul ahead of Sarah and Doug. I also remember seeing a game of Target being played, afraid I may have missed others as I was busy playing games at the other table (need to do a better job of keeping track next time).

The other group started out as Nicole, Beth, Eric and myself. We played Megastar, a card game by Friedemann Friese with a records theme: Eric won by one point, 35 to 34, I came second with Nicole at 30, two points better than her mom. Next up was Qwirkle, and I drew just about all the right tiles and won a fairly decisive win ahead of Eric with Nicole once again in third. We then played R-Eco, and everyone but Nicole dumped, but this game wound up with the dumpers beating out the ecology-minded, and Eric got the last set of cards to secure the win. At this point, Beth and Nicole had to leave, and Eric and I were joined by Stan and Larry in playing Before the Wind, an engrossing card game I had introduced to the group the prior week. We didn't quite finish, but Eric appeared to be on his way to a win when we picked up the game just before closing time.
