Group of 11 for this week: Mike, Patrick, Greg, Rouslan, Neville, Tim, Evan, Eugene, Rembert, Helen and myself were the attendees. Games played: Diamonds, Power Grid Deluxe: North American, Russian Railroads, Machi Koro, Yellow Jersey and Pandemic: Contagion.
Diamonds was the quick starter game, and we only got one hand in. Patrick had the better card draws, so he was leading with 5, ahead of Rouslan (3), John (2) and Neville (0).
Power Grid (the new Deluxe version) was played once again, this time with the North America side of the board. Mike and Evan built to 18 cities, with Mike winning with more money left (50 to 2 for Evan), while Greg and Tim got to 17 cities, with Greg (72 left) having more money than Tim (23).
Russian Railroads was a three-player, which somehow I managed to win against two good players who have cleaned my clock in prior games. Scores were John 326, Eugene 310, Rouslan 269. Kind of a low-scoring game.
Machi Koro was won by Patrick, with Neville edging Helen for second on the tiebreak, Rembert in fourth. This same group played Pandemic: Contagion, where -- unlike the original game -- the players are actually trying to spread disease instead of working together to stop it. Neville (44) was the winner, ahead of Helen (40), Rouslan (36), Rembert (26).
Finally, Patrick and I tackled Yellow Jersey, and hand-made wooden game I just imported from the UK. I managed to win the individual title, while Patrick won the team competition.
Reminder that, with EuroQuest coming up next week, many of us (including co-Host Mike and myself) will not be in attendance. The club meeting space will be open, and if you need to get any of the club games out of storage, just ask the folks at the front desk. I would appreciate it if someone could shoot me an attendance and games played list at jcw222@comcast.net.
