Congratuations to Chris Geggus on his victory!

Bill Scharf (ERGE): Thanks for running the game, I’d been signed up to play it for a very long time. And congrats to Chris on his win, although to be honest I think we’re both winners for finally being able to play it. A good game, plays well remotely, too bad there isn’t more interest in it!

Chris Geggus (GEGS): Fully with Bill on that. Whilst it took a lot of remembering (and forgetting) as to the mechanics of the game, it also reminded me why I used to enjoy it many eons ago. Like most of our games it does really need about 4 players, but this was played very fast and in great spirit. Thank you Bill and thank you Chris H. Put me up for it again please and let's try to persuade one or two others to join in.
