Thursday 8th October 2009
From fourteen last week, back down to six this week! I have no idea how it works .....
Sadly, this is going to be a bit of a "scores only" job today. not because we played a lot, simply because I'm in a hurry!
Players:
Alex, Darren, Mike, Nick, Rachel, Sue
Games Played:
Rachel:
21
Nick: 20
Mike: 19
Darren: 6
This was a tight one ... which Darren was never in.
Mike:
51
Alex:
95
Darren: 97
Rachel:
127
Rachel started strong, then got heavily battered. Meanwhile, Mike played the "I'm new to this" card and won easily!
Mike:
(24 or 30) 24
Nick: (29 or 24) 24
Rachel: (22 or 30) 22
Alex: (26 or 21) 21
Darren: (27 or 18) 18
Sue: (25 or
18) 18
Aaaargh! This went down to the tie-breaker, which was the "other" score, and Mike had me by a point. the annoying thing was I could have got this point by taking an extra coin in the final turn, but I miscounted and decided it wasn't important. Grrr. Sue came behind Darren for the same reason.
(Points + Houses + District)
Alex:
(9 + 6 + 0):
15
Sue: (11 + 3 + 0) 14
Darren:
(8 + 3 + 0) 11
Nick: (6 + 0 + 4) 10
Mike: (5 + 3 + 0) 8
Rachel: (4 0 +
0) 4
This was brand new to all of us, and quite fun. I was in an odd position at the end, as I had the chance to save my district, but I had so many houses on the other one, I would have been better off if it had sunk!
Darren:
1st
Nick:
2nd
Sue: 3rd
Rachel: 4th
Alex:
5th
And this was the last one. Alex got a bit caught in a logjam, and ended up behind everyone, not even able to get one of her to guys out.
And that was it for another week. Thanks to those that came along, and see you on Monday.
