No session report for the prior week (November 4). Just about everyone who would have come, myself included, was at EuroQuest. See post here concerning this year's EuroQuest convention:

Post-EuroQuest, we had a good session as Nov. 11 happened to be Veterans Day, meaning a few people could come who might otherwise not have made it. We had a good attendance of eight: Clayton (back this time because his brother-in-law had the day off and was able to drive him to the session); Mike, Paul, Doug H, Greg, Patrick, Eugene and myself were the group. We split into two groups of four.
One group (Mike, Doug, Paul, Eugene) completed two games. First was Speicherstadt, which was won by Doug (23) on a tiebreak from Paul (23), Eugene (21) and Mike (20). Very close game. I like the unusual bidding mechanic but the game seems to end a bit too soon. Second game for this group was Settlers of America, and Doug once again was victorious. Looks like it was very close for second between Eugene, Mike and Paul.
The other group (Greg, Patrick, Clayton and myself) played Age of Empires III, which I had brought, at Greg's request. It took up most of the session time, and it turned out to be a very close finish between Greg and me. Final scores: John 116, Greg 108, Patrick 72, Clayton 40.
After the AoE III game, we still had some time left and decided to fool around with Martin Wallace's latest game, London, which I had received in the mail the day before. It was my second play (having learned it at EuroQuest), but Patrick had played the game like 4-5 times. Didn't get much out of the A deck, hope to play it again soon.
