How to find Shire Games

 

Monday 3rd November 2008

 

Still busy at the shop, sadly, so here's another very brief summary of what happened.  Eleven of us in the pub, I think ...

 

Players:

David H, David F-F, Gordon, Haydn, Martin, Nick, Rich, Simone, Sue, Tim, Tracey

 

Games Played:

 

For Sale

Simone:    52
Rich:    51    ($2)
Nick:    51    ($1)
Sue:    47
David H:    34

Close game, with only 5 dollars between the top four players.

 

Kraków 1325AD

We split into three groups, after much standing around ....

Nick:    43
Gordon:    41
Martin:    35
Sue:    29

Excellent game, although it ran a little longer than advertised!  Very clever system, and I just managed to overtake my partner (Gordon) by figuring out what colour he was and playing cards from his mortal enemy!

 

Chicago Express

David H:    $51
Tim:    $49
Haydn:    $45
Tracey:    $28

Apparently, the "Chicago" phase was omitted when the first company made it there, which would have given Tim a few extra dollars and the victory!

 

Steel Driver

Simone:    $1,670
David F-F:    $1,370
Rich:    $1,270

Don't know much about this one .... It got a bit of a mixed reaction.

 

Light Speed

Haydn:    19
Tracey:    13
David H:    9
Tim:    3

Older Cheapass game. Other than that, I know nothing!

 

Numbers League

Haydn:    11
Tracey:    7
David H:    6
Tim:    3

This looked like it hurt some brains!   And it's a kids' game ......

 

Mmm ... Brains!

Simone:    1st
Rich:    2nd
David F-F:    Last.

 

Nottingham

David F-F:    75
Rich:    48
Haydn:    47
David H:    40
Tracey:    38
Simone:    36

 

Saboteur

Martin:    10
David F-F:    5
Haydn:    3
Nick:    3
Rich:    3
Tracey:    3
Sue:    0

Martin was a successful traitor twice, followed by being the connecting good guy, giving him three gold cards in the final rounds for a good score of 10.

 

And that was it for another week.  Hopefully I'll be caught up next week and make more of an effort at the report!
