December 29, 2011 Session Report

We had a group of five for our final session of 2011: Ron, Mike, Neville, Alex and myself. Started out with a game of Martian Dice. First play for Alex and Ron. Neville and Mike tied at 22, and Mike won the special tiebreaker roll by the low score of 1-0. (Note the tiebreaker is the number of Saucers which are on two of the die faces, each player rolling six dice.)

Second game up was Panic Station. Neville and Ron were the two experienced players, Neville spent most of the game in sick bay. Ron started out as the bad guy, at least that's what most of us suspected, when he went in a Parasite room and unleashed four parasites. Nonetheless, he managed to slip the virus to Alex (who was new to the game) and myself, by cleverly confronting two of our guys on successive moves, figuring out we didn't have two gas cans. Mike had lost his human so it was just a matter of getting to Neville's one remaining guy in sick bay. Neville managed to turn back one of us bad guys, but eventually the three of us ganged up on him, and Mike's force (down to just one guy) wasn't much help.

Final game of the evening was Martian Dice, as we lacked access to any of the shorter playing club games. Final scores: Alex 25, Ron 13, John 12, Mike 9, Neville 5.

Next week I plan to bring a couple of shorter playing games (like Cloud 9 and Cheeky Monkey) just to make sure we have them available if needed.
