A cold, wintry day so only five showed for this week's session: Patrick, Doug, Mike, Tim and myself. This session featured all new games: Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar Game, Copycat and Myrmes.
I had brought Tzolk'in which is "dynamic worker placement" using a unique set of moving gears, and played with Patrick. Patrick killed me, using the Chicken Itza crystal skull wheel to pile up an unassailable points lead. Final scores: Patrick 72, John 54.
Copycat -- the Friedmann Friese title which borrows heavily from other games, like Dominion, Through the Ages, Power Grid, Agricola and Puerto Rico -- was a three-player, and I remember during the game hearing "Doug is killing us," but the final score report shows a close game, with Doug not being the winner: Mike 86, Doug 84, Tim 81.
The final game was Myrmes, the ant colony game which Patrick had brought, which unfortunately only made it through a couple of turns. So, no report although I believe Patrick was ahead when we had to pick it up.
