January 30, 2014 Session Report

Ten in attendance this week:  Mike, Patrick, Tim, Neville, Eric, Ryan, Helen, Rembert, Lee (who had been here once before last fall) and myself.  We got in a total of four games:  Suburbia, Ticket to Ride - Netherlands, the Lord of the Rings Card game (the one by Cryptozoic) and For Sale.  Some details follow.

Suburbia was a four-player.  Final scores were Patrick 75, Helen 62, Tim 44 and Rembert 38.
Ticket to Ride with the new Netherlands map was interesting.  You have to pay money to build your routes and you could run out!  In the end, the host/co-host duo dominated, as Mike and I came in 1-2 in a five-player, first play of this one at the club.  Scores:  Mike 229, John 226, Lee 170, Neville 134. Eric 91.

Lord of the Rings card game was won by Lee after I got off to an early lead, killing a bunch of the Enemy cards.  Score count on this one was Lee 45, John 43, Neville 37, Mike 20.

Finally, Eric's son Ryan joined us for For Sale.  Eric was the winner, and I kept up my string of second place finishes.  Scores were Eric 53K, John 49K, Lee and Neville 45K, Mike 41 K, Ryan 33K.

Next week we expect to be joined by Ben Rosset, a noted game designer from the DC area.  He is planning on bringing a prototype of one of his unpublished games, so it promises to be a fun session.
