Eight for this week's session: Neville, Patrick, Mike, Doug, Karl, John B (whom we haven't seen in awhile), Rembert and myself. We split into two groups for the entire session.
Four of us played a new release that is a meaty economic game that I believe will become fairly popular: Global Mogul. It's about investing in oversea markets, raising venture capital and producing goods to fulfill private and government contract. In our four-player game, the award for the top Mogul went to Mike. Final scores were Mike 56, John and Neville 52, Doug 45. I edged Neville on the tiebreak for 2d, but Neville was the best of those new to the game since Mike and I had played at prototype at EuroQuest before. Pleased to announce that Global Mogul will be the Hot New Wild Card game at this year's EuroQuest, and game designer Bill Crenshaw will be on hand to teach anyone that wants to learn the game.
The other four (Patrick, Karl, John B and Rembert) wound up getting in two games, although one got restarted once or twice as new players arrived. First game was Pastiche, and the winner was Karl (46) to 36 for John, 31 for Rembert and finally 30 for Patrick, who was teaching the game. Then they got in a game of Augustus, and this time Patrick did manage to come out the winner. Scores were Patrick 64, Karl 58, Rembert 56, John B 44.
