A dozen in attendance for this session, including one first-time attendee (Alec) along with Mike, Doug, Patrick, Tim, Alex, Ben, Rembert, Rouslan, Neville, Helen and myself. We got in a total of four games: Splendor, Nations, Power Grid-Brazil and Russian Railroads, although one of these (Nations) did not quite make it to the finish line.
First up (the warm-up game while waiting for more people to show) was Splendor. Patrick was the runaway winner, with Doug (11) a distant second while Alex and I trailed with 10. Patrick won by focusing on just two colors, going for some high point cards while ignoring the bonus titles completely -- could this be the recipe for a winning strategy in future games?
Power Grid-Brazil was a four-player, first time play for Alec, who came away the winner in a close game. Scores were Alec 18, Mike (17+52 money), Rembert (17+10 money), Ben 16.
Russian Railroads finished up right before the 9 PM witching hour. Close game with Rouslan (351) edging Neville (339) for the win. Helen (286) and Tim (266) were the other participants.
Finally, Nations only made it through two of the four ages. We scored it anyway, as if the game had ended. On this basis, Alex (22) came out on top, ahead of Patrick (20), Doug (20) with yours truly (16) bringing up the rear.
Kudos to Tim for the "nice guy" award, giving up his seat twice to move to another game so people had a chance to play their favorites.
