March 10, 2011 Session Report

Attendance held firm at eight for tonight's session despite some rainy weather: Mike, Patrick, Paul, Doug, Eugene, Erik, Tim and myself were the attendees. Games played: 7 Wonders, Settlers of Catan, Imperial 2030, Pandemic and Ingenious.

First up was the obligatory 7 Wonders game, believe we had six players (Erik and Tim had not yet arrived), and the winner was Patrick. Then we split into two groups for the rest of the session. One group (Paul, Erik, Tim and Doug) opted for some shorter games, including Settlers (won by Doug), Pandemic (no report on how that one came out) and Ingenious (won by Tim).

The rest of us played the longer Imperial, using the newer map and 2030 version. It was the first play for Patrick, Mike and Eugene, and we didn't quite manage to finish the full game after the leading country (Russia) was brutally attacked and brought to its knees. The two best countries (ending up at x4) were Europe and China, hence the contest was between Mike and Patrick, with Mike emerging victorious by a point (a tie would have favored Patrick). I came in third with Eugene in fourth after Eugene's last bond buy left him a few bucks short of being able to squeeze in a final taxation with India, in which both he and I were heavily invested. A good time was had by all.
