We had a total attendance of eight for this session: Greg, Mike, Patrick, Jay, Eugene, Rembert, Alex and myself were the attendees. Three games were played: Martian Dice, Empire Builder and a new game (courtesy of Patrick) called Dark Horse.
Martian Dice was the warm-up game played while waiting for more people to arrive. We played two rounds with six players. Patrick scored 10 on his first set of rolls, then 6 on his second. Eugene was second at 7. Greg and Mike each had 5. Jay and I failed to score.
We then split into two groups. Greg, Mike, Alex and Rembert played Empire Builder. Unfortunately, the game did not finish. According to Mike, Greg and Alex had established good routes while Rembert had a poor start and was hurting for funds.
Patrick, Jay, Eugene and I played Dark Horse. It was a worker placement game using dice that reminded me alot of Kingsburg. The setting is the Wild West and you are trying to develop settlements and towns (a la Settlers) by connecting them to each other and worthwhile resources. I found the game to be quite interesting and challenging. The final scores were close, but Patrick prevailed: Patrick 15, Jay 13, John 12, Eugene 11.
Hope to see everyone at the next session.
