Nine in attendance tonight: Mike, Jay, Eric, Patrick, Doug H, John B, Rembert, Doug M and myself (John W). We split into two groups for most of the session. Games played: Fresco, Imperial 2030, Puerto Rico, Piece o Cake, For Sale (two plays).
Fresco was the first game completed. Final scores: Eric 76, John B 66, Doug H 60, Rembert 53.
Mike, Jay, Patrick and I tackled Imperial 2030, which Mike had brought. It took a long time to teach, and unfortunately the game was unfinished after Patrick left. While there was still some time left in the session, we decided to pick up the game. The three of us then played a series of shorter games, some of which were very close:
Piece of Cake: Mike 45 Jay 44 John W 43
For Sale game 1: Mike 72 Jay 63 John W 60
For Sale game 2: Jay 66 John W 62 Mike 55
Final game of the evening, which really tested the patience of the CC staff as it ran over by about five minutes, was a five-player Puerto Rico game. Scores on that one were Doug M 51, Eric 49 Doug H 49 (Eric edged Doug H for second on the tiebreak and also won the prize as "best of the non-Dougs" in this game) John B 43 Rembert 39.
On a serious note, I want to remind every one that this club only exists because of the willingness of the CC and Laurel Parks and Recreation Department to make the space available for free, and that we should be very very careful in selecting games that would not run over the time limit, and in picking up games before the 9 PM closing time.
