February 4, 2016 Session Report

Good turnout of 12 for this session: Rembert, Mike, Eugene, Patrick, Greg, Tim, Lina, John B, Neville, Arnold, Rouslan and myself were the attendees. Games played: Flip City, Above and Below, Power Grid Deluxe: Europe, Favor of the Pharoah, Manila and Codenames (x2). Some results and details follow.

Flip City was the warm-up game, played by Mike, Rembert, Eugene and myself. We picked it up after more people began to show without declaring a winner.

Above and Below was a four-player, won by Patrick, Scores: Patrick 46, John (me) 41, Tim 36, Greg 28.

Favor of the Pharoah: 1st, John B, 2nd, Rouslan, 3rd, Arnold, 4th, Neville. Apparently it came down to an exciting finish, with John winning on the very last roll after Arnold and Rouslan hit their rolls.

Manila: Rouslan 207, Arnold 129, Neville 115, John B 75. Comment: Pirates were a big factor, John kept losing $$ for each of first four turns which hurt his chances.

Power Grid Deluxe: Europe: Eugene 17, Line 16.25, Mike 16/23, Rembert 16/6. Based on the scores, looks like this was a really competitive game.

Codenames was played twice. First game, the team of John and Greg won versus the team of Patrick and Tim. Second game, Tim and Patrick (joined by Neville and Rouslan) exacted some revenge, winning over the John W, Greg, Mike and Rembert team.
