March 17, 2011 Session Report

Attendance hit double figures this week, as we had Paul, Doug H, Mike, Eric S, Patrick, Erik, Eugene, Don, Doug M and myself available to play games. One group played Railroad Tycoon on the new Western US Map, which Eric had brought. The five of us (Eric, Doug M, Patrick, Don and myself) took around three hours or so to complete the game, which was won by Eric who had jumped out to a large lead and only had two bonds (which he took out to finance his initial bid and track build). Final scores: Eric 72, Don 61, Doug M 60 and the rear was brought up by myself (43) and Patrick (35).

The other group played three shorter games. Ascension, won by Eugene. Scores: Eugene 59, Doug H 57, Mike 55, Paul 43. 7 Wonders, also won by Eugene. Scores: Eugene 58, Erik 55, Mike 52, Doug H 42, Paul 41. Then Eugene took his leave and the next game was Settlers, won by Mike who had the largest Army, with 10, followed by Doug H (longest road) 8, Erik 8, Paul 5.

There was time for a second game of 7 Wonders with those of us who stayed for the final hour. That won was a big win for Eric S, with a score of 70 -- tied for the highest I have seen, as he obviously benefited from starting to my left. Others were far behind, paced by Doug M 54, Erik 46, Don 44, Paul 40, John 37.

Good turnout, good night for Eugene and Eric who won all the games they played.
