End of Game Statements

Ron: Well played Dave, the plan to build often seems to work if you can get the rolls and your placement was spot on. This was my first game of Sea-farers and a lot of fun. Thanks to all for a real enjoyable time and many thanks to Chris H for a well run and fun game.

Chris: Thanks Chris. I just couldn't get going in this one and the die rolling really battered me. Well done Dave, until the next one.

Andy: Congrats to Dave on a solid victory - well deserved. And the usual "Great Job" to Chris for running herd on this game!

Dave: The placement phase positioned me for lots of Brick and Wood. That gave me the road building, and I was lucky in an early robber allowing me to steal a Wool and build a quick 3rd settlement. After that I was gaining resources on almost any roll, and being able to easily build roads made getting additional settlements easier so the lead started to steamroll. The only problem was my lack of Ore, which I had to grab through robbers and 3-1 ports. The map was pretty crowded, and I think my position in the corner where I could freely build helped as well. No great strategy after that or anything, just build as many settlements/cities as possible and use the 3-1 ports.

Thanks all for an enjoyable game, and to Chris as always for his usual superb GMing job.
