This was our last session before returning to longer hours post-Labor Day, and we had a total of seven attendees: Mike, Paul, Ron, Clayton and myself were joined by Abraham and Gabe, whom we had not seen for some time. We played a total of six games: TransAmerica, Winners Circle, Ticket to Ride - Switzerland, Ra: The Dice Game, Vegas Showdown, and Snow Tails.
Abraham, Mike, Paul and I played one round of TransAmerica while waiting for others to arrive. I got all my cities connected before everyone, and we agreed to proceed to other games.
One group (Clayton, Mike and Paul) played Ticket to Ride - Switzerland followed by Vegas Showdown. Final scores for the Ticket to Ride game were Mike 84 Paul 75 Clayton 60. Clayton ended the Vegas Showdown game by filling all his spaces, but the winner in that game was Mike (again) with 65 to 44 for Paul and 41 for Clayton.
The rest of us tried Winners' Circle, but we only completed one race. Abraham romped away with the win after having bets on the top two horses (one with a big bonus). Gabe finished second while Ron and I tied for third (last) sharing a bet on the nag that came home third. Then we played Ra - The Dice Game, which ran a bit longer than expected (so long that Abraham had to leave and Mike filled in). Final scores were Ron 51 John 34 Mike/Abraham 30 Gabe 29.
Final game of the evening was Snow Tails, which we barely finished. It was a challenging course with a bunch of trees, a tight turn or two, and some snowdrifts that forced you to make some unwanted lane changes. Gabe navigated his way around the course for the win, I was in second when the race was called, and Paul, Ron and Mike were a bit farther back.
