March 20, 2008 Session Report

We had a total of eight gamers in attendance for tonight's session: Doug, Sarah, Kim (who came with Sarah as a first-time attendee), Clayton, Nick, Gabe, Neil and myself. We played a total of ten different games: Lost Cities, Ticket to Ride, Ingenious, Blokus, Cartagena, Age of Empires III, Quiddler, Boomtown, Skip-Bo and Chrononauts (the Early America edition).

Doug and I arrived first, finishing up a quick hand of Lost Cities before everyone else started to arrive. We split into two groups of four. One group (Gabe, Nick, Neil and myself) chose a longer game, Age of Empires III, in which Gabe came out on top. Final scores were Gabe 121, John 92, Nick 83 and Neil 68. This same group then followed up with a shorter game, BoomTown, won by Neil, and we spent the last 15 minutes trying out the Early American version of Chrononauts, which Nick managed to win "just in the nick of time" before the 10 PM closing time. Since I had won the initial Lost Cities games, it turned out each in our group of four won one game over the course of the evening.

It turned out to be a different story for the other group (consisting of Doug, Kim, Sarah and Clayton) which played a series of six shorter games -- Ticket to Ride, Ingenious, Blokus, Cartagena, Quiddler and Skip-Bo -- all six of which (it was later reported) were won by Doug ! (Don't keep stats, but winning six different games in one session must be some sort of record for our game club.)

Anyway, hope everyone had a good time and will return next week for more fun and games.
