End of Game Statements

Dave Hooton (Delicate Essen):  This game was closer that it appeared. If I hadn't had a bid expensive item like the International Airport to buy, Andy would have gotten the Spendthrift bonus rather than I. I had hoped to make use of the Essen/convention tiles, but it didn't work out that way.

Thanks to Chris for running the game.

Christopher Hunt (Greenville):  Congratulations to Dave.  Thanks to Chris for his masterly going.  I stink at this game.  Normally run out of money but not this time!? Always low on reputation.

Andy York (Austin City Limits):  I was hoping to grab the Spendthrift bonus, which would have tied me with Dave. But, he masterfully discovered a way to hold onto it himself and grab a well-deserved win. Had a good time with this one! Thanks, Chris, for another great time playing!
