May 9, 2013 Session Report

A bit behind on the weekly reports, but here's the one for last week's meeting.

Attendance of eight this time:  Mike, Doug, Tim, Eric, Nathan, Ryan, Rembert and myself were the attendees.  We played a total of four games:  7 Wonders, Settlers Explorers and Pirates, Lords of Waterdeep and Cloud Nine.

We started with 7 Wonders as Eric's two sons (Nathan and Ryan) had another engagement that evening.  The scores on that game were Doug (the winner) 58 Mike 55 Tim 53 John 49 Eric 44 Nathan 34 Ryan 33.

We then split into two groups of three for some longer games.  Doug, Rembert and I played the new Settlers expansion, Explorers and Pirates, although it was one of the shorter rules with the pirates being activated on a roll of 7.  Doug managed to win, I was second and Rembert third.

The other group played Lords of Waterdeep.  Tim one that one, 182 to 172 for Mike and 164 for Eric.

This left us with around 20 - 30 minutes left in the session, time for a quick game of Cloud Nine.  Eric managed to win, 51 points.  Doug (40), John and Rembert (tied at 30) were the other participants.

Saturday was the Laurel Main St. Festival, which went well despite some soggy weather early in the morning.  Rodney and I ran the booth for GCOM and Eric, Nathan and Ryan joined us, and I got to play a couple of games with Sarah (a regular attendee at the club from years back) and her mother, Joan, who also attended at one time.  A good time was had by all.

This coming Sunday, from Noon to 5, there were will be a similar event at Beltsville Community Center (as part of the annual Beltsville Day), except it will be indoors.  Hope to be there as well.
