We had a total of eight gamers at this week's session: Doug, Paul, Beth, Nicole, Eric, Clayton, Sarah and myself. We played a total of five different games: Olympia 2000, Balderdash, Lost Cities, Spree, 6 Nimmt.
Started off with a four-player Olympia 2000 (Doug, Paul, Nicole and myself) and Doug's athletes won a close contest (by two points) which included a win by one of his handicapped athletes. Paul collected no laurels, something I haven't seen very often in this game. Next up was Balderdash, which Doug brought, and we started out with seven players, then Sarah joined as Nicole's partner, but two people dropped out near the end. I had eased into an early lead, then was caught by Beth, and finally both of us were surpassed by Doug who came on strongly to win.
Meanwhile Paul and Sarah played a very high scoring Lost Cities game, featuring one hand in which they both scored over 100 pts. Final scores (after four hands) were reported as 401 for Paul and 215 for Sarah. Not much defense in that one.
Nicole and Beth left early, leaving six of us to play the final two games of the evening. Doug introduced us to Spree, a Cheapass game, this time Doug had all the bad luck, and Sarah went on to win, stealing two Queens from Paul who had previously stolen them from Doug, the original owner. Paul was second and the rest of us were pretty far behind Sarah's winning score of over 150 points.
Final game was 6 Nimmt (Take 6), scores were Paul 40 Doug 53 John and Sarah 54 Eric 65 Clayton 71 -- low numbers are good, so this was another win for Paul.
