February 23, 2012 Session Report

This report is courtesy of co-Host Mike Brazinski, who kept track of everything while I was away at PrezCon. Thanks, Mike!

"We had pretty good attendance. Including me, we had Ron, Neville, Greg, Tim, Rembert. Jay returned for a second week. John Schussler, a GCOM regular at other locations, visited our humble club for the first time too!

Before Tim and Rembert arrived, we started with a game of "The Resistance", a game that falls right in between Werewolf and Battlestar Gallactica (okay, more on the Werewolf side.) Greg and I were the Government spies. I was pretty quickly discovered but Greg managed to evade detection and led the spies to victory in the last round.

We then broke into two groups. Neville, Greg, John and I played "Last Will". As this was the first play for all of us, it was a bit rough in the beginning but things started to gel for us as we played. It looked like Greg was going to run away with game but Neville managed to sneak in and pull out the win. The final scores (with the goal being the lowest amount of cash) were Neville with -$12, Greg with $4, John with $9 and yours truly failing to spend, ending up with $24. Now that we figured out the game, we're looking forward to trying again.

The second group (Tim, Jay, Rembert & Ron) played Power Grid with the German map. I was only partially watching that game but as 9pm started to arrive, the game got into a gridlock I've never seen before. It was towards the end of Phase 2 and all four players had 14 cities. No one was able to expand until the Phase 3 card was pulled and the power plants were all low values. The game had to be called. Jay had the most cash on hand as time ran out but I don't think we can really call a winner on that one."

Glad to hear there was good attendance and, even in my absence, someone named John was present. Hope to see everyone this Thursday.
