February 9, 2012 Session Report

Seven in attendance for this session: Doug H, Mike, Greg, Neville, Tim, Rembert and myself. We played four games: For Sale, Flash Point, Power Grid-Robots and San Juan.

Started with a quick game of For Sale while waiting for everyone to show. Greg was the winner. Scores: Greg 61K, Doug 55K, John and Neville 45K, Mike 42K.

We then split into two groups. Four of us (Doug, Greg, Neville and myself) played a cooperative game, Flash Point, where the players play the role of firefighters putting out a four-alarm blaze. Neville was the fire captain and had some very bad die rolls, usually hitting a hotspot and spreading more fire rather than putting it out. We lost when the last damage cube was placed after having done a fairly good job rescuing victims.

The other group (Mike, Tim, Rembert) played Power Grid with the Robots expansion. It was played on the Germany map with the robot taking over the role of a dummy fourth player. Didn't get a report on the result, think the game didn't finish in part because the robot made life more difficult for the players.

The Flash Point game finished with about 45 minutes left in the session, so we broke out San Juan. Please to report I was the winner, getting three "6" builds down. Final scores: John 41 Greg 33 Doug 31 Neville 27. It was Neville's first play of this Puerto Rico spin off.
