End of Game Statements

Kevin Wilson (PIKES):  I was more worried about the Dragon King or Commander Vimes than Lord Vetinari. That and I miscounted areas.  I wonder with 3 was it more washed out with all the minions and houses on the board? Was Christopher either of those or were he and I both playing for the areas? I forget which card I had a few turns ago that gave me the option to swap personalities. I thought about it but figured, with 3, the odds were I’d just end up where I started so passed. Perhaps I should have swapped.

Congrats to Bill on “sneaking” in with that win. Well done. Thanks to all for the play and to Chris, as always, for running this fun one.

Bill Scharf (FASBES):  I was lucky. With four players I think every win is a sneak win, three to one is just too big an odds disadvantage to power to a win, except for the troll, taking away money/buildings in large enough amounts appears on too few cards.

In three player, I’ve found dragon king of arms and ventenari to be a tricky combination; is he spreading over the board to cover areas, or cause trouble? And sometimes two people don’t have the right cards to stop the third, even when they strongly suspect who they are. Enjoyable game, thanks for playing it and to Chris for running it.
