August 22, 2013 Session Report

Attendance hit double figures this week, as a total of 10, including Lee (new to the club) and Neville (whom we have not seen for awhile) along with Mike, Patrick, Alex, Doug, Tim, Rembert and myself.  I also count Karl (back for his second week) although he arrived late did not get in a game, unfortunately, as both games (Lords of Waterdeep and Sid Meier's Civ), both played with new expansions, did not finish in time to start another game.

Mike brought and taught the latest LoW expansion (I believe it goes by the names Scoundrels of Skullport) to Neville, Tim, Doug and Rembert.  Neville wound up the big winner, and by a fairly wide margin.  Scores were Neville 172, Tim 151, Mike 144, Doug 137, Rembert 130.  The game seemed to run a bit longer than the regular game, probably because of the new stuff (which adds a meeple per player and more locations) plus the fact it was a five-player.

Patrick, Lee, Alex and I played Sid Meier's Civ with parts of two expansions that Patrick had brought.  Patrick had the game nicely organizes with everything sorted out, but when we had to rush to put the game away at the end of the session, all that went out the window.  The game added a few new aspects, like different special abilities and, of course, we didn't come close to finishing.  I managed to get a level 3 tech in the game, and Lee also seemed to be doing well.  Alex drew alot of water which slowed down his ability to explore.  Patrick looked like he was going for the Military but suffered some unexpected losses in combat, so it was unclear who was going to win if we had been able to play it out until the end.

One more session this coming Friday before Labor Day.  Hope to see everyone there.
