How to find Shire Games

 

Thursday 5th November 2009

 

Just the six of us in the shop this week for the penultimate Thursday before the Christmas break.

Players:

Alex, Nick, Rachel, Richard, Roj, Sue

   

Games Played:

Four of us were in nice and early ....

 

Colonia

Nick:    19
Rachel:    18
Roj:    17
Richard:    16
Alex:    15

My second game of this one, and everyone else's first. Played two, won two ... I might retire it now :)  Both times with a score of 19, so that seems to be a good target to aim for. I really like this one - A very solid "euro" game.

 

El Paso

Nick:    44
Sue:    34
Rachel:    23
Roj:    20
Alex:    17
Richard:    17

  

This was new to all of us apart from Rachel. It's a fun little game, although a couple of bits felt a little "clunky", but then it turns out we weren't quite doing it right!

 

And finally .....

 

The Boardgamegeek Game

Nick:    138
Sue:    135
Roj:    133
Alex:    132
Rachel:    130
Richard:    121

This was the first time for all of us. A very close game at the end when all the sets were declared, and quite a fun one once we all understood what was going on, which only really took a round or two.

 

And amazingly, that's all we had time for!  Thanks to those that came out.  Next Thursday will be the last non-pub games night of 2009, as it gets a bit cramped in the shop as Christmas approaches.
