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.

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.

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.

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.
