April 5, 2012 Session Report

Sorry for being a little late with the session report from last week. We had an attendance of eight (Neville, Greg, Patrick, Mike, Doug, Jay, Rembert and myself). Two games were played and, unfortunately, both took the entire session time and neither game finished.

Patrick, Doug, Neville and I played Vinhos, a game Patrick had bought recently that was a favorite of mine from last year's Essen releases. However, the game has a number of very intricate rules, and it takes awhile to see how everything fits together. We managed to get through five of six turns and two of the three wine fair competitions, and then scored the game as if it had ended. Doug was ahead at that point, but everyone seemed to think that, with another turn, Neville (who had won both the wine fair competitions) was in a good position to win after another turn.

Poseidon was the other game. We've played it before, and it's a tight fit to get it done in three hours. Greg, Mike, Jay and Rembert were the players; only Greg and Mike had played before so it was a learning curve for Jay and Rembert. Sorry, I didn't get a report on who was ahead or who was winning from the participants.
