June 19, 2014 Session Report

We had an even dozen for tonight's session:  Patrick, Tim, Mike, Ben A, Neville, Matt, Rembert, Ben H, Evan, Rouslan, Alex and myself.  We played the following games:     Agricola, Splendor (played four times), Kemet, Settlers of Catan and Money.

During the first part of the session, one group split off to play Agricola while two games of Splendor broke out.  The Agricola game was won by Evan (41) ahead of Tim (36), Ben A (35) and Patrick (29).  Splendor game #1 was a win for Mike (16) ahed of Neville (13), Matt (10) and yours truly (9) last.  Splendor game #2 began as a two-player when Rouslan joined late.  Winner was Ben H (17) with Rembert (10) second while Rouslan (playing with an obvious handicap) was a distant third with just 1 point.

We then mixed up the groups for the next round of games, with the Agricola game still going on.  Neville, Rembert and I played Kemet, which Rouslan had brought and got played for the second week in a row.  This game consumed the rest of the session time and we came close to finishing with the goal of reaching 8 points.  Rouslan had got to 8 but got knocked down one when Neville successfully attacked one of his Pyramid VP locations, so we picked it up with Rouslan and I at 7, Neville and Rembert at 4.

Settlers turned out to be a very quick three-player, as Ben H won once again, steamrolling Matt and Mike.  Scores were Ben H 10, Matt 7, Mike 4.  By this time Alex had arrived, and another Splendor game broke out, this being the closet of the four played, three points separating the entire field.  Scores were Mike 15, Alex and Matt 13, Ben H 12.

Finally, two more games to report.  Mike brought Money and taught the game to Ben H and Alex.  Scores were Mike 900, Ben H 680, Alex 250.  Finally, three of the four Agricola players wrapped up with a fourth game of Splendor.  Result?  Another win for Evan:  Evan (18), Patrick (7), Tim (3).  I believe Evan has yet to lose in his two times at the club.
