February 11, 2016 Session Report

Eight attendees (Mike, Ben, Greg, Neville, Rembert, Tim, Eugene and myself) were the group for this week's session, which was really the night for unfinished games; of five games played, three didn't make it to the finish line. Games played (including those that didn't finish) were 7 Wonders: Duel, Baseball Highlights, Trickeri0on, Palaces of Carrara and Power Grid: Quebec.

7 Wonders: Duel is the two-player version of 7 Wonders. Mike and I made it through the first age then picked it up after more people began to show. Then, Neville and I hooked up for a quick game of Baseball Highlights: 2045, I won the game but Neville had alot more drafting ability to pick up more players. Then, Neville and I (along with Eugene and Rembert) started Trickerion, a new Essen release where you are putting on magician shows and magic tricks. Steep learning curve meant we only got through four of the five turns of the basic game when the 9 PM witching hour struck, so three for three in unfinished games for me.

Two games that did make it to the finish were Palaces of Carrara and Power Grid: Quebec, so here are the scores:

Palaces of Carrara: Greg 168 Mike 106 Tim 70 Ben 63

Power Grid: Quebec was a bit closer: Mike 18 Greg 17/6 Ben 17/3 Tim 16
