August 30, 2012 Session Report

We had a nice crowd of 11 for our final session of the summer.  Attendees were Tim, Eric, Greg, Brandon and Rob (both returning for their second session at the club), Jay, Rembert, Eugene, John B, Patrick and myself.  We played a short warm-up game (Piece o Cake) and split into three games for the rest of the session.

Piece o Cake was up first, a four-player, won by Eric (34) over John W (31), Tim (26) and Greg (25).

We then split into two groups to play Rolling Freight, which I had brought, and Railways of England, which Eric had brought.  So, it was all set to be an evening of rail games until Patrick showed up, and a third game (Homesteaders) formed.  Oh, well, there's a Railroad track in homesteaders, so I guess that counts.

The Homesteaders game was the first to finish.  It was won by Jay (58) ahead of Eugene (53), Patrick (47) and Greg (41).

Railways of England was won by Tim (58) ahead of Eric (52), John B (39) and Rembert (27).

Last to finish (and we picked it up a few turns short of the actual ending condition) was Rolling Freight.  I managed to hold on for a narrow win (126 to 121) over Brandon with Rob (101) in third.  I had a large lead, but Brandon made some really nice deliveries in the last couple of rounds to narrow the gap.
