Boston Terrier

End of Game Statements

Dave Hood (Dutch) Well, I guess I did not even realize the game was about to end! Based on the moves of other players I think most of us forgot that Turn 10 was coming. At any rate, the key to New World is to avoid lots of losses because it is hard to recover. If you can keep your colonists alive and avoid big battles you can do well with double resource areas. Enjoyed the game, and thanks for running it.

Andy Lewis (French) Congrats Dave. I was never a factor after some early bad luck. I didn't know we were playing that a player had to win. I had stopped trying to keep the NP from winning figuring maybe that would slow down some of the players.

Dave Partridge (Swedes) Congratulations to David. One of these days I'll pay attention to the game start and realize we were only playing 10 turns instead of till someone had 5 territories, I wasn't ready for it to end!

Andy York (English) Congrats to Dave for a win, even if the Portuguese snuck by all the human players.... And, as always, thanks to Chris for a great game!

Bob Robles (Spanish) I just never recovered from an ill thought out overcommitment to one area. Congratulations to Dave on a well earned win.

Chis Hassler (GM) This was a strange one. When I started using the Non-Player Nations variant, I never expected one of them to win the game. But, due to a number of factors, mostly coming down to luck and the fact that the other players mostly left it alone, win it did. This left me with a dilemma: do I credit the non-player nation with the victory, or award it to the player who came in second. In the end, I decided to award the “victory” to the highest scoring player. However, I will note in the Best of Show, that the non-player actually scored higher.
