End of Game Statements

Dave Hooton (Factorum):  This was anyone's game, although I suspected that I would be in the top three. I entered the game with no specific plan except to increase my heat production to get temperature TRs. Then in Generation 3, I got Insulation and found a way to back door myself into the Investor Milestone. After that, it was all about the Forecaster award and using the Predator to get me second place for the Zoologist.

Chris Geggus (Philares):  Interesting as I never bother to check on my victory point score from cards played, but simply assume an average'ish kind of score. However getting 4 this time around was an unexpected shortfall. Inventrix was worse, but 2 Milestones helped there. Note to self to look for more card VPs next time around. Always fun, even when struggling, so congrats to winner, all players and thanks to Chris H again.

The numbers in the Resource Marker column indicate the box, numbered from left to right, while the number in parenthesis is the number of resources to be gained from that space.  N/A indicates that the marker is not in place because a card that can accept those resources is not in play.  Text in the colony spaces indicates either the owner of the colony, or the benefit of establishing a colony there.
