March 3, 2011 Session Report

Finally getting caught up with the two session reports prior to PrezCon, so the most recent session attracted eight attendees: Mike, Doug, Ron, Tim, Bryan, Don, Patrick and myself. Four different games were played and it turned out to be a very good night for Tim, who won all three games he played.

First up (once again) was 7 Wonders, and we had a full table of seven. Tim won the game with a very impressive score of 69, ahead of John (57), Mike (54), Doug (48), Ron (43), Bryan (37) and Don (36). We then split into two groups for the rest of the evening.

One group got in two games. First was Union Pacific, which turned out to be a close finish between Tim and Mike with Doug not far behind. Final scores: Tim 104 Mike 102 Doug 98 Ron 87. Then it was Speicherstadt, with Tim completing the trifecta with 29, Mike again second (26) followed by Doug (22) and Ron (18). These seem like fairly high scores based on my limited experience with the game.

The other group elected to play Automobile, which Patrick and I had played a few days earlier at PrezCon. We barely got the game in, as they were collecting tables and chairs while we were hastily calculating the final scores. What we came up with was Patrick 5450, John 4770, Don 4500, Bryan (for whom it was the first play) 3580. These scores, particularly Patrick's, seemed really high for a 4-player game, and afterwards Patrick thought he may have been paid twice for his cars sold in the final round. So, it will have to go down as a win with an asterisk for Patrick.
