1. With
only 6 players tonight we stayed together as a group and played 3 games during
the evening. First up was a re-run of “Don
Pepe”, the gangster game which was played last week. With 6 players early
losses were inevitable and Geoff was soon down to just one mobster left.
However he hung on until the last 3 mobs were left after some serious damage caused by cakes
blowing up. Mike had a poor start but by staying in until the end he picked up
some regular income, enough to enable him to pass Roger who had already been
eliminated.
2. Game
Mike introduced the group to “The
Boardgamegeek Game”, in which players play the role of a games manufacturer
who wish to sell their games in the 6 shops present on the board. They have a
secondary objective to collect games from other players to form sets, which
will score points at the end. The game is driven by placing tiles in shop
windows and then using the roll of 3 dice to determine from which shops the
players will purchase their games. Much manipulation of the dice ensues to
satisfy this requirement and players can frustrate their opponents by doing
this. The lead changed hands several times during the game but by collecting 3
complete sets Alistair scored heavily at the end for a comfortable win.
3. As
it was Cheltenham NH Festival week we finished up with a horse racing game
called “Turf Horse Racing”. This is
a betting game which uses a special dice to decide how the horses move. Much
laughter arose from the game and it was voted a success. With a storming last 2
rounds Robert swept through to victory.
Games played and Winners were:
Don
Pepe Mike Oakes;
