Congratulations to Dave Hooton on his close victory!

End of Game Statements

Dave Hooton: Thanks, Chris, for running such a close game. Chris G. lost by a sheep.
Also, Kudos to Andy, who came in third with only two family members.
Two players had already passed on the Reed Hut when I got it, but the investment turned out to be worthwhile.

Chris Geggus: Yep, just couldn't get that little lamb at the end of the game. Congrats to Dave for a well balanced farm. Which is what it's all about of course. I know where I went wrong. I should have gone to a stone house after 4 rooms as waiting for 5 kept me short of wood all game, whereas I did acquire a lot of stone which I then couldn't use. A clever game with some occasional deeper thinking required. And thanks Chris.

Christopher Hunt:  Thanks to Chris for running the game.  Congratulations’ to Dave for his victory.  Chris G should demand a recount.  Enjoyed it.  Could not get my occupations or implements online.

Chris Geggus:  I've recounted it 6 times and still can't wangle a win. May ask for a random drugs test next.

Bill Scharf: Only in last place by one point! Yep...and one day....I’ll be not in last place! Something to look forward to.
