board games & card games for all ages

Monday 17th November 2008

There were eleven of us in the pub this week, I think.  It's taken me until Friday to get these scores up, so my memory is a little hazy .....

Players:

Darren, David H, Gordon, Haydn, Mark P, Martin, Mel, Neil C, Nick, Rachel, Sue

Games Played:

Sushizock im Gockelwok

Rachel:    (17 - 10)    7
David H:    (14 = 8)    6
Darren:    (11 = 5)    6

This was played before the bulk of us arrived.

Diamant

We were up to 8 pretty quickly, and went for a short one to see who else might turn up .....

Sue:    27
Nick:    26
Neil:   25
Haydn:    21
Darren:    19
Rachel:    18
Gordon:    15
David H:    13

This was a close one. Two points between the three of us at the top!

Hurry'Cup

This was the choice of the group of six ....

Mark P:    1st
Nick:    2nd
Darren:    3rd
Rachel:    4th
Martin:    5th
Mel:    6th

This was a fun game. A bit of a twist on the usual race game with dice, and enjoyed by all. And no one broke each others' fingers, which was a plus.

Puerto Rico

(Chips + Buildings + bonus)

Sue:    (40 + 12 + 0)    52
David H:    (17 + 23 + 10)    50
Gordon:    (26 + 11 + 0)    37
Neil:    (26 + 11)    37
Haydn:    (24 + 10)    34

A good win for Sue in this one, and a pretty close contest between her and David.

Hoppladi Hopplada

Darren:    334
Mel:    168
Nick:    72
Rachel:    46
Mark P:    37
Martin:    0

Another fun dice game in the Zoch "square box" range.  The scores are massively spread out, but in fact everyone can be just a roll or two away from winning.  I know I was :-)

Sushizock im Gockelwok

David H:    4
Neil:    3
Haydn:    1
Sue:    1
Gordon:    -3

The second appearance of this one tonight.

Urland

We lost one, then mixed up the two groups of five ....

Neil:    34
Haydn:    33
Sue:    32
David H:    29
Nick:    27

This was the tightest game of this I've ever seen, with no one being left behind (which usually happens to someone) and everyone in it right up until the very end. Three of us even had all of our little dinosaur thingies on the board at the end of the game!

Race for the Galaxy

(VP + Worlds + Some other Stuff)

Darren:    (3 + 21 + 8 + 6 + 5)    43
Rachel:    (4 + 17 + 0 + 5 + 5)    31
Mark P:    (6 + 16 + 1 + 0 + 5)    28
Mel:    (9 + 13 + 0 + 3 + 0)    25
martin:    (3 + 9 + 0 + 3 + 0)    15

A solid win for Darren in this last one of the night.

And that was pretty much all we had time for.   Thanks for coming out, and see you all next Monday.
