Thursday 22nd November 2007
A fair number of gamers in this week, and it's fairly hectic in the shop at the moment, so this is pretty much going to be a "scores only" report, I'm afraid ....
Players:
Andy, Ben, Cal, Darren, Jonathan, Mark L, Mark P, Mike, Neil H, Nick, Rachel, Rich, Roj, Sue, Tim
Games Played:
The first three in launched this one ... (sorry) ...
(Planets + Points + Bonus)
Jonathan: (12 + 28 + 7) 47Guess which two people had played this one before ?
People arrived over the next half hour or so and disappeared upstairs for the rest of the night. This is what they were up to:
Ben: 9
Andy: 8
Cal: 5
Mark P: 4
Tim: Eliminated!
I don't think the game was played to the end (there was a fair amount of learning involved!).
The next arrivals tried the new Ystari release.
Darren: 69
Rachel: 51
Roj: 44
Sue and I joined in for a bit ....
(Bricks + Amulets)
Nick: (30 +
4) 34
Mike: (21 +
4) 25
Mark L: (22 + 0) 22
Sue: (17 + 4) 21
Jonathan: (14 + 1) 15
Neil: (9 + 4) 13
Woohoo! Revenge for getting slaughtered at this one last time out. I got a little lucky when I forgot to defend my city, and all my assailants killed each other right outside. Apart from that, it was all skill.
More Vikings on the other table ...
Roj: 46
Rich: 41
Rachel: 40
Darren: 22
This looks pretty tight (if you don't count Darren .... sorry Darren!).
The first time we'd managed to play this one with the full five players ....
(Cats + Cash)
Jonathan:
(23 + 29) 52
Sue: (28 +
21) 49
Neil: (22 + 15) 37
Nick: (10 + 23) 33
Mark L: (28 + 0) 28
Mark managed to go from first place after the cat-count to last place when you added the cash in!
Just time for one big game for four players ....
Darren: 79
Neil: 72
Roj: 61
Sue: 58
And a few little games for the rest of us ...
We only had fifteen minutes until Jonathan had to leave, so we went for this one ...
Nick: -9
Rachel: -13
Jonathan: -17
Rich: -23
More cute animals (if you don't count the ugly ones) ...
Rachel: (12
+ 10) 22
Rich: (14 +
5) 19
Nick: (13 +
5) 18
And then we were two .....
Rachel: 53
Nick:
37
This is a fun little 2-player game.
And that was it for another Thursday. Thanks to all those who came along. See you next week.
