CHIPPENHAM BOARDGAMES CLUB - 22/04/2010



1.     With 8 players again tonight we split into 2 tables of 4. On Table 1 we played the new game “Tobago”, a game about placing clues regarding the location of treasures and then rationing out the loot once they are found. Not easy to play first time but we eventually got the mechanisms and in a very close finish where we all finished 1 point behind each other and Geoff prevailed.
2.     The other group played “Citadels” with the expansion pack of new characters. Alistair was attacked and lost the highest scoring buildings so he just concentrated on getting some small value buildings constructed so that he ended the game when it reached 8 buildings and gained the bonus points for doing so. This tactic meant he won with only 23 points, a low score, but the second place player was on 19 points, so it worked out well for him.
3.     We revised the groupings and Tony showed Chris and Roger the game of ““Euphrat & Tigris”, which they had not played before. The game took the rest of the evening and was a very close finish, with Tony winning by 1 point from Geoff.
4.     On the other table we played “Small World” as Robert had never played it. He then proceeded to win the game by a margin of 10 points, 84, 74, 72, 71 being the final scores.
5.     As the other table were still playing we filled in with “Incan Gold” yet again. Robert won the first game easily for his second win of the night, so we played another quick game of it and Robert won again for a memorable treble !! 

Games played and Winners were:
Tobago Geoff Williams;
Citadels Alistair Gittin;
Small World Robert Piesse;
Incan Gold game 1 Robert Piesse;
Incan Gold game 2 Robert Piesse;
Euphrat & Tigris Tony Simons.
