How to find Shire Games

 

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:

 

Race for the Galaxy

The first three in launched this one ... (sorry) ...

(Planets + Points + Bonus)

Jonathan:    (12 + 28 + 7)        47
Mark L:    (13 + 13 + 20)    46
Mike:    (13 + 6 + 0)    19

Guess which two people had played this one before ?

 

Starcraft

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!).

 

Amyitis

The next arrivals tried the new Ystari release.

Darren:    69
Rachel:    51
Roj:    44

 

Eketorp

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.

 

Vikings

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!).

 

Felix - The Cat in the Sack

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!

 

Hamburgum

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 ...

 

Blokus

We only had fifteen minutes until Jonathan had to leave, so we went for this one ...

Nick:    -9
Rachel:    -13
Jonathan:    -17
Rich:    -23

 

Animalia

More cute animals (if you don't count the ugly ones) ...

Rachel:    (12 + 10)    22
Rich:    (14 + 5)    19
Nick:    (13 + 5)    18

 

Pick & Pack

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.
