This particular session conflcited with Game Days, and I later learned that at least four of our regular and semi-regular attendees (namely Doug, Eric, Greg and Jay) were at Game Days. So, our overall attendance was just five (Alex, Mike, Patrick, Rembert and myself). This meant we had just one table going, with two games being played.
First game was Power Grid: First Sparks which has been played quite a bit recently. The winner was Mike with 13, followed by Alex 11, John 11, Rembert 10 and Patrick 9. Alex beat me for second on the "most food" tiebreaker but was foiled by the rule that limits you to five cities per build, otherwise he might have had a shot to catch Mike.
The other game was a long-time club favorite, Vegas Showdown. I am thinking it may have been the first play for Alex as I recall having to teach the rules. Unfortunately, we didn't finish although one stack ran out. We scored as if the game had finished, with a couple of us (notably Mike and I) having altered our strategy just to try to get the game in. Partial scores showed a close game, with Patrick ahead (32) of John and Alex (31), Roland (26) and then Mike (22).
A friendly reminder -- a week from Saturday, i.e., the second Saturday in May -- May 12 I believe is the date -- GCOM will be renting a booth at the Laurel Main Street Festival. Rodney and I will be there promoting the state-wide organization as well as the two local clubs in Laurel. The Main St. festival is a huge, open-air event held every year, sponsored by the Laurel Board of Trade, here is a blurb from their website about this year's event:
