November 15, 2012 Session Report

A good turnout of nine for this week, including a couple of people who hadn't been to the club in awhile:  Patrick, Greg, Doug, Tim, John B, Rembert, Helen, Mike and myself were the attendees.  We played a total of three games:  VivaJava:  The Coffee Game, Agricola and Cloud Nine.

VivaJava was the first game set up, but the number of players kept changing as more people arrived: eventually we wound up with a six player game as three split off for a three-player Agricola.  The winner was Patrick, who I am sure won with inspired play based on his repeated trips to the JavaDivas coffee hut in Glen Burnie.  Final scores were Patrick 28, Greg 25, Rembert and John W 24 (tiebreaker to Rembert for third), Doug 22 and Mike 20.

The Agricola game took up just about the rest of the session time and ended in a win for John B.  Scores were John B 39, Tim 30, Helen 25.  I have a note from the game about how Tim let John B claim five sheep after missing the fact that John had built a Fireplace to cook the animals.

Most of the players from the VivaJava game stuck around for one final game, Cloud Nine, which took up the final half hour of the session.  Mike, who had three of the four Wild Cards, managed to pull out the win on the final turn with a 25-point balloon trip after Doug, who was in the lead, bailed out for 20 points when Mike was the final pilot.  Scores were Mike 57, Doug 53, Rembert 49, John 44, Greg 38.

A reminder that the CC will not be open next week (Thanksgiving) so our next session will be Thursday, November 29th.  Happy Turkey Day to everyone!
