January 24, 2013 Session Report

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.
