September 6, 2012 Session Report

Good attendance of 14 (!) this week, boosted by six first time attendees, including Jason and a family of five (Bryan, Heidi, Ariel, Kaniela and Jada) along with Mike, Doug, Tim, Neville, Rembert, Patrick, Helen and myself.  This week we focused on the shorter games, which meant three games going on at once, and just about everyone played at least two games, some of us as many as four.  The list of games played:   San Juan, Ingenious, Can't Stop (played twice), Power Grid:  First Sparks, Hollywood Blockbuster (aka Traumfabrik or Dream Factory), Chrononauts and For Sale.

It was tough to collect details on all the games, but here is what I have.

San Juan was a three-player, won by Mike (28) just ahead of Tim (27) with Jason (19) in third.  It was Tim and Jason's first play of the game.

Ingenious was also a three-player, final scores:  John (12), Neville (7) and Doug (6).

No report on the participants or result in the Chrononauts game.

Power Grid:  First Sparks was another win for Mike.  He had 13, with Tim and Jason (each with 11) trailing.

Hollywood Blockbuster was a five-player, won by Doug (84) ahead of Neville (79), Jada (53), John (49), Rembert (44).  It was the first play for Neville, Jada and Rembert.  Neville almost won but Doug (with some help from Rembert) got a piece he needed at the final party to complete a movie and win the game.  Good effort by Neville in his first play of the game.

Bryan, Heidi, Ariel and Patrick played Can't Stop.  I heard Bryan won, Patrick was last, no further details.

There were six of us for For Sale.  Final scores:  John 54, Helen 48, Doug 45, Rembert 42, Kaniela 36, Jada 34.

The final game of the evening was a four-player Can't Stop.  We hit the 9 PM witching hour but I made one final die roll to secure the win over Doug, Helen and Rembert.
