CHIPPENHAM BOARDGAMES CLUB – 10/11/2011



1.       12 players showed up tonight. To start on table 1 Mike led a group of 3 playing “TROYES”, the mediaeval game about placing your citizens in buildings to gain most VPs. The game was reviewed recently so is not repeated here. New visitor Daniel enjoyed his first game with us but with an astounding haul of 18 points from his Secret agenda card Rob Piesse won the game easily with a score of 46 points. Mike and Daniel tied on 28 points.
2.        Table 2 saw 4 players in the Traders and Barbarian variant of “SEAFARERS SETTLERS OF CATAN”. As always scoring was very close in this game but Poppy finally emerged as the winner.
3.       Table 3 saw 5 players involved in a game of “CARSON CITY”, the wild west game, led by Tony. Using a system similar to CAYLUS the game is about placing your gunfighters in different action squares on the board, if you have the requisite money, and then the actions are resolved one by one. The squares give the players money, weapons, building privileges etc. Many gunfights ensue, which greatly influence the game. Players also try to build certain buildings which bring revenue and other benefits. The game took over 2 hours to play and received a mixed reception. The eventual winner was Kevin.
4.       On Table 1 Mike Daniel and Rob played a quick game of “MAMMA MIA!”, the pizza-making card game, as they waited for other games to finish. Mike and Rob scored well in the first round but Daniel made a storming comeback in rounds 2 and 3 to snatch victory and he cooked all his pizzas.
5.       The remaining 5 players finished the session with the dice game “SUSHIWOK IM GOCKELWOK”, which has been reviewed before. Much laughter was generated by the pseudo-oriental accents and the pinching of tiles from each other. To his great surprise Kevin managed to snaek a close win right at the last second. 

Games played and Winners were:
Troyes- Rob Piesse;
Seafarers Settlers – Poppy Jabelman;
Carson City – Kevin Ward;
Mamma Mia! - Daniel Vandenburg ;
Sushiwok Im Gockelwok – Kevin Ward.
