End of Game Statements
Bill Scharf:
Thanks for running the game, always enjoyable to play! My game was
hobbled by the lack of merchant cards that traded lower value spices
for higher value spices, as I assume everyone else’s game was too.
No one picked up merchant cards for much of the game, so we were all
left to make do with a handful of cards that were picked up early in
the game. I guess my handful was a bit more useful than the others. A
very unusual game to be sure!
Chris Geggus: Well done Bill. My mistake was in the original purchases where I was wary of spending too much to acquire merchant cards and thus ended up with weaker ones than both my opponents. Didn't realise it would go to 42 turns and this really came back to haunt me. I will know better next time.
Christopher Hunt:
Good game. Well done Bill on your victory. Made a mistake
through that you counted termeric at the end not non termeric.
Thank you to Chris for keeping track of my cards. Had a good Cinnamon engine but nothing else.
