May 3, 2012 Session Report

We had a really good attendance of 11 for this most recent session, including one first-time attendee (Matthew) along with Doug, Neville, Alex, Mike, Jay, Tim, Patrick, Eric, Rembert and myself.  Games played were:  Martian Dice, Lords of Waterdeep, Tikal, Racko, Quarriors and Tsuro (x2).

The Martian Dice game, which was on-going when I arrived, was won by Alex.  We then split into two groups for two longer games:  Lords of Waterdeep and Tikal.  Lords of Waterdeep was a five-player, with Alex nosing out Mike for the win.  Final scores:  Alex 123, Mike 116, John 98, Doug 81, Neville 80.  Neville had jumped to an early lead but faded near the end.

The Tikal game was won by Eric, but the scores were close:  Eric 107, Jay and Patrick 100, Tim 88.  This same group played two games of Tsuro, both won by Eric, which means Eric went unbeaten for the night.

Rembert and Nathan arrived while Lords of Waterdeep and Tikal were on-going, and they hooked up in a really old game, Racko, which Nathan won.  The final game for this table was a four-player Quarriors game, which was won by Matthew, with John, Alex and Neville as the other players, which meant Matthew went undefeated for the evening.

Doug, Mike and Rembert played another game, I believe it was a second game of Racko, not 100% sure. But I did have the final scores as Doug 375, Mike 360, Rembert 335.  Very close game, I guess I was focused on Quarriors.

Anyway, this coming Saturday will be the Laurel Main Street Festival.   Rodney, who is the host for the other Laurel location (Laurel-Middle Earth) and I will be running a booth for GCOM.  The event lasts from 9 AM to 4 PM and our booth location (512 - B and C) will be situation on the South Side of Main Street, near 5th street, in front of the Laurel Playhouse and the Cork and Bottle (formerly Highs).  We will be handing out club flyers and introducing new people to board games.   Stop in and join us!
