Six of us braved the snowy weather and arrived at the club this week for the first session of the new year. Patrick, Mike, Ben, Neville, John B and I played Caverna: The Cave Farmers, which is a new game by Uwe Rosenberg that has been billed as the sequel to Agricola. The game was well received by the group, but we didn't make it to the finish line as a couple of folks had to leave early. We got through eight of the 12 rounds and scored the game. I came out the winner, Mike was second, Neville third, scores withheld to protect the innocent but of course things could certainly have changed had we made it through to the end. Mike, Neville and Patrick chose to go the armed dwarf/Expedition route while the rest of us tried a more peaceful strategy. John B had been the first to expand to 4 dwarfs, with room for a 5th, so his 5th place position after 8 rounds may have been much better had the game gone to completion.
Two events coming up this weekend: The annual Brunswick Games Day is Saturday, and Sunday is the 1st Sunday of the month which means gaming at Laurel Middle Earth (Rodney Bacigalupo's place), check the GCOM website for details.
