June 10, 2010 Session Report

Attendance was up some this week, total of eight: Mike, Paul, Ron, Doug H, Don, Greg, Tim and myself. We played a total of six different games: Lost Cities, Cheeky Monkey, Forbidden Island (x3), Fresco, Top Race and "Speed" Settlers -- a Settlers of Catan variant.

First up was Lost Cities, Mike versus Paul. They got in one hand waiting for others to arrive, final score: Mike 78, Paul 28.

Next game was Cheeky Monkey, won by Greg (29) ahead of John (25), Doug (19), Mike (9).

Three games of Forbidden Island were played. This time we played with the correct rules which mean you flip six areas which go underwater at the start of the game. Much tougher, and tonight the players won once, the game won twice. Ron, Paul, Don and Tim were the participants.

Meanwhile, the four of us at the other table played Fresco, which Doug had brought. Much closer than the first playing, final scores were Mike (67), John (65), Doug (61) and Greg (59).

We reshuffled for the final two games of the evening: Top Race, played twice, one race won by Tim, another won by Greg. Don and Ron also participated. Doug, Paul, Mike and I played my "Speed Settlers" variant where you roll four die instead of two, pairing them together for two production numbers a la Can't Stop. Turns out we didn't quite finish, but conceded when Mike informed us he had the necessary cards to clinch the win.
