How to find Shire Games

 

Monday 8th December 2008

 

I'm pretty sure there were actually nine of us in this week. Again, very busy at the shop and late with this report, so it's going to be brief ....

 

Players:

Darren, Haydn, Mark H, Mel, Neil C, Nick, Rachel, Sue, Tim

 

Games Played:

 

Tumblin-Dice

Rachel:
Sue:            230
Darren:
Nick:
Tim:            179

This is a whole load of fun. Full of shouts, cheers and groans as things slowly go from bad to worse (if you were on our side, anyway). The girls only ha two in their team, so they got a lot more practice than we did.

 

Ticket to Ride: The Card Game

(Complete - Incomplete + Bonuses)

Sue:    (91 - 0 + 37)    128
Haydn:    (99 - 0 + 26)    125
Rachel:    (96 - 10 + 28)    114
Mel:    (73 - 0 + 18)    91

This looks like a very close game of this one.

 

Wealth of Nations

Five of us decided we had all night to spend hurting our brains ...

(Points + Cash)

Darren:    (60 + 24)    84
Nick:    (56 + 3)    59
Neil:    (40 + 16)    56
Mark H:    (44 + 11)    55
Tim:    (32 + 0)    32

As always, a very enjoyable few hours of this clever economic game, despite the fact that we all realised Darren had it sewn up about halfway through! 

 

Royal Palace

(Nobles + Cards + Unplayed cards + Park)

Haydn:    (54 + 0 + 0 + 6)    60
Rachel:    (39 + 6 + 1 + 12)    58
Mel:    (43 + 0 + 0 + 12)    55
Sue:    (36 + 2 + 0 + 0)    38

Don't know anything about this one really ... Enjoyed by all though, once the rules ha sunk in!

 

Hoppladi Hopplada  

Sue:    334
Rachel:    260
Mel:    196
Haydn:    181

 

Coloretto

Rachel:    (43 + 36)    79
Haydn:    (27 + 41)    68
Sue:    (25 + 37)    62

 

 

And that was all we had time for. Thanks to all who came along once again.
