Congratulations to Chris Geggus on his victory!

End of Game Statements

Chris Geggus:  Always fun. I picked up a great combination of occs. Mason, Master Builder and Stone Breaker gave me an 8 point action when converting my 4 room clay hut to a 6 room stone house and also gave me an almost guaranteed 3 extra points for the House Steward. And by using only 1 action for all that gave me greater freedom to look elsewhere. Shouldn't lose with that leg up.

Thanks to Chris and roll on the next one.

Kevin Croskery:  Thanks to Chris H for running the game. First game for me for a long time and I forgot that Family growth is the path to victory. Never really got much synergy with the Occupations and Improvements and starting last froze me out of the best actions for a couple of turns. Well that's my excuse anyway! Well done Chris G for a solid victory and I'm just happy I didn't come last!

Bill Scharf:  As always, thanks for running the game. I am pleased with how well I did and what I accomplished. Its amazing how low expectations really fuels your sense of satisfaction. Also congrats to everyone who did better than I did, and to Chris Geggus for the win, not sure how you did better than I did, but I suspect that it has something to do with my gameplay, oh well maybe next time? Happy thanksgiving all!

Andy York:  Congrats for a fine win to Chris G, and thanks to Chris H for running the game. I think I'm starting to figure this out, and actually was more conscious of victory points/conditions and not just on playing. Looking forward to the next game.
