1.
With Mike a late arrival 7 players commenced
with the popular “7 WONDERS”, the
most-frequently played game in the club. You are all familiar with the
mechanics of the game so no need to repeat them here, suffice to say the winner
was Lucy.
2.
The players then split into 2 groups of 4.
On table 1 Jerry introduced Poppy to the game of “OREGON”, see review of 15th December 2011 for
details. Jerry was always in the lead
and despite a slight closing by Mike and Roger mid-game Jerry was never headed
and he won comfortably.
3.
On table 2 Kevin introduced 3 other players
to the game of Agricola but this was abandoned after some 30 minutes as the
explanation was taking too long. The group decided to play “INFINITE CITY” instead and this coincided with Mike and Roger
being available from the other table, to make up a group of 6. The game review
of 10 February 2011 explains it in more detail. Much back-stabbing went on in
this game with Mike trying to restrict Rob and Kevin, whilst Lucy annoyed us
all by building Plazas, which meant we had no choice where to place our next
tile. In a close finish sadly Rob won with 18 points by pinching one of Mike’s
Silver tiles, with 3 other players tied on 17 points, one with 16 and Mike
trailed in last with 14.
4.
Lucy departed, so 5 players played “MONTGOLFIERE”, the game about
ballooning trying to reach the moon, see review posted on 19th
January 2012. A highly interactive card game in the lightweight category. We
played 3 rounds and the scoring was very close but to the surprise of everyone
Mike emerged the victor in a close finish with 29 points, 3 players had 27
points and the last player 26 points. That makes 3 wins for Mike in 2012, maybe
the ‘good times are back’!
