End of Game Statements

Christopher Hunt (The Greenies, Chrysoprase):  Congratulations to Andy on his fine win.  Thanks to Chris H for his game mastery.  At the start had no building cards at the end had only building cards.  Still a great game. Played Nanty Norking last week. Still prefer it if only because I know who the characters are.

Kevin Wilson (PIKES, Lord Rust):  Congrats to Andy. Mrs Cake didn’t show me Vimes so I had assumed he was out there so had to look for places to get majorities for Lord Rust to have a shot. I just never got much cash to drop buildings down and that was obviously the difference.  As always, a fun game. Thanks to all for playing and to Chris for running the game. I’m sure we’ll have a go again soon.

Andy York (TTG, Lord Vetinari):  Though I knew we were near the end of the deck, I was actually shooting for a win as Lord Vetinari...and if the game lasted to my turn, might have pulled it off (one play left and had 10 Minions on the board, needing 9 for a win).


Regardless, I think this is the first win on points in SOB. As I'd not even considered this as an outcome, forgetting it was an option, I'm pleasantly surprised to pull the win out of the hat. Thanks to the other players for a great game and to Chris for running it.

Bill Scharf (HEW, Lord de Worde):  Thanks for running the game, and congratulations to Andy on his win! Always a fun game to play.
