November 18, 2010

Good turnout for this week's session, as we had a total of nine. Included (for the first time at the Laurel CC) Laurel residents Lee and John Mewshaw, who had helped arrange for a joint Laurel-Columbia meeting in the spring of last year. Back after missing a few sessions were Neil and Tom, along with Mike, Greg, Paul, Patrick and myself. Games played: Carson City, London, Speicherstadt, Slide 5 and Cloud 9.

Patrick taught Carson City, joined by Neil, Tom and Paul. Final scores: Patrick 46 Paul 37 Neil 34 Tom 27. The other game was London, a three-player with Greg, Mike and myself. That wound up John 69 Mike 64 and Greg (eaten up by loans and poverty) at 19. Lee and John joined us for a 5-player Speicherstadt, which had John M. the winner (24) followed by Mike (17), Greg (13), John W (9) and Lee (5). Got to have some Firemen to put out those fires at the end of the game!

There was still time for one more game at each table after the longer games were concluded. Neil, Paul and Tom played Slide 5, final scores (remember low is best): Paul 32 Tom 94 Neil 96. The rest of us (Patrick had left by this time) played Cloud Nine, won by yours truly (51), then Greg (43), Lee (42), John M (30) and Mike (26).

Next club session will not be for two weeks due to Thanksgiving holidays. Happy Turkey Day, everyone!
