Congratulation to Kevin Wilson on his victory!
Christopher Hunt:
Congratulations to Kevin on his win. Different, very
enjoyable. Made the mistake of getting haven cards, not able to
build a money tree. Moneylender appears the way to have gone. Many
thanks to Chris on resending my new hand as the original emails were
not available.
Chris Hibbert:
Well, as must have been obvious, I thought I had this game in the bag,
but it turned out to be a misunderstanding of the rules.
I expected the attack cards to be used much more than they were. My
rule of thumb is that the kingdom card costs are a good rough guide to
the actual value of the cards in a 3-4 player game. When the game has 5
or 6 players, attack cards that hurt all your opponents are worth more
than they would be in a smaller game. I managed to play my Fortune
Tellers about 50% of my turns, which was reasonably effective in
gumming up other people's hands early in the game, but it became less
effective over time.
When I started buying up the smallest kingdom card piles to force
a game end, I knew I was getting cards I wouldn't normally have wanted,
but I thought I could end the game in a couple of turns, and I had
enough of a lead to make that work. Since I forgot the rule about
ending 5-6 player games, that came back to bite me. Salvaging 2nd will
have to be my consolation.
Congratulations to Wilson for winning the actual game we were playing rather than the phantom I was chasing!
Thanks also to Chris H. for moderating the game and bearing with me through my mistakes and pestering.
Bill Scharf: Dominion is a great game to play, I had a lot of fun, thanks for running it. Congratulations to Kevin on his win.
I had a number of odd card distributions (all action cards) (all money
cards) but that happens to everyone. I was surprised by some of the
cards voted out of the game though, clearly my thoughts and preferences
were different than others. People kept the navigator but no one bought
one?!? Why?
Kevin Wilson:
I really thought others might have to pass on the Province which would
open the door for Chris Hi to get the last province for the win. I came
up just short last time to grab a province and an estate to give him
pause. I almost tried to end it 1 turn ago, buying Havens but I’m
glad I didn’t as I had missed one of Chris Hi’s duchy buys so would
have lost on the tie-breaker to him.
I really didn’t see the impact of the attacks in this one (Fortune
Teller, Bureaucrat) at the start. But they did hinder some actions
later with all those non-actionable victory cards on the tops of
everyone’s draw piles. But, at least any attacks following a first
attack were mostly negated so the impact was lessened. It did probably
add a turn or 2 to get to an end.
While I’d like to say I’m starting to get the hang of the game, I think
this time it was as much the luck of how the cards came out as anything
since I didn’t focus on the attack cards. With others doing so and any
2nd or 3rd attack card being hindered by an earlier one, the impact
wasn’t as much as it otherwise may have been.
I did find it a little interesting that no one went for a
Navigator. I could see the value of the card from putting some
gold or other valuable card on top IF you had a +card action card in
your hand but we didn’t have a lot of those and I guess the other
attack cards kind of negated any likely true benefit.
Thanks to my fellow players for playing, again. And thanks to Chris for
his patience with my errors (early on I kept losing track of my cards)
and for running the game. This one is quickly climbing up my list
and I’ve started to add a few expansions to the shelves.
Chris Geggus:
Dear oh dear, I'm getting worse. I at least thought I was up with the
pack, but seems I can't even manage that nowadays and I actually don't
know what I'm doing wrong. Anyway congrats to winner, all other players
and Chris H. I am now going away to cry in the corner.
