A very good turnout out this week after a two-week hiatus due to Thanksgiving. We had two newcomers, Tom and Korey, along with Neville (who has missed most of the sessions this fall due to another commitment on Thursdays) plus Alex, Mike, Ben, Jack, Rembert, Doug G, John B, Jay, Helen and myself for a total attendance of 13, our best in several months. Five games were played: Power Grid: First Sparks, Doctor Who: The Card Game, Automobile, TransAmerica and Lords of Waterdeep.
First game to finish was Power Grid: First Sparks. The winner was Doug, who won the race to 13 ahead of Jay (11), John B (10) and Ben (9).
Tom, one of the two newcomers, took the Doctor Who card game, with 25 points, ahead of Mike (20), Korey (16) and Rembert (8). My guess is Tom and Korey had both played before.
This same group then played TransAmerica. Scores were Tom 12, Korey 8, Mike 6 and Rembert 2 or maybe it's minus -6 for Mike and -2 for Rembert (can't tell from the scoresheets). Good showing by Tom to go two-for-two in his first two games at the club.
The Automobile game was the longest, an intense brain-burner. I managed to win with a score of 4,640 with Alex (at 4,200) in second followed by Neville (3,800) and Jack (3,120). Neville was quick to point out that a different tile draw at the end would have moved him into second ahead of Alex but, with a low number of 2 for the luxury cars, he was forced to take two losses instead of earning $400 for the cars. Overall, all of us played a bit too conservatively and didn't really push the envelope except in the final turn on those luxury cars.
Final game to finish was Lords of Waterdeep. Jay, who seems to have a good record at this game, took the win with 147 points followed by Doug (131), John B (112), Helen (111) and Ben (101). Good to see everyone score over 100 in this game.
Again, very pleased with the turnout this week, let's keep it up for the rest of 2012!
