June 7, 2012 Session Report

Another really strong turnout, a total of 14 people which meant 3 or 4 games at some times.  The attendance list included Greg, Mike, Eric, Neville, Jay, Alex, Tim, Doug H, Patrick, Rembert, John B (at the Laurel club for the first time), Kay, Doug M and myself.  Games played:  Power Grid - Atollo Modulis; Lords of Waterdeep; Endeavor; Homesteaders; Show Manager, and Puerto Rico.

Power Grid-Atollo Modulis (hope I got the name right) is a modular Power Grid board with islands on it.  The board we played with had some high connection costs, so board position was even more important than usual.  I trailed from very early in the game and never caught up.  Final cities powered count:  Eric 17 Mike and Greg 15 John W 12.  Mike edged Greg for second on the money tiebreak.

Endeavor was a three-player, won by Jay (61) just ahead of Alex (58) with Rembert (45) in third.  I believe it was the first play for both Alex and Rembert.

Lords of Waterdeep, another three-player, scores were Neville 156, Tim 140, Doug H 132.

The last game to start up was Homesteaders.  Doug M won that one, with a score of 56, ahead of John B (51), Patrick (48), Kay (30).  I believe it was Kay's first play while everyone else had played before.

Two more games were played to wrap up the evening.  I managed to come out on top in a four-player Show Manager.  Scores were John W 59, Greg 41, Neville 35, Doug H 32.

Then, in a 5-player Puerto Rico, the winner was Mike (47).  Other scores were Eric 39, Tim 37, Rembert 30, Jay 27.
