End of Game Statements

Christopher Hunt (Coventry Jazz Valley Housing): Many thanks to Chris for running the game. Well done Dave. Wow what a game. Lost decisively but most enjoyable. Much shorter than i thought.

Bill Scharf (Yellowtown): That was a fun puzzle type game. I’d like to play it again. Now that I have a better idea of what I’m doing, I should offer Dave more of a challenge!

Dave Hooton (Borough Goves): It been years since I played this game, and I was never really good at it. After making the mistake of not buying the Homeowners Association on Turn 5, I thought Borough Goves would end up rather mimsy. However, looking around on Turn 10 and seeing all the boroughs of ill repute, I realized that I would be having a frabjous day.

Thanks to Chris for running this.

Andy York (Austin City Limits): Well, that was fun. I'd only played a handful of times years ago and now remember how I had enjoyed it. However, it went quite snappily which added to the pleasure - thanks to all for keeping things moving. I'm ready for the next one!

Congrats to Dave on his strong win and thanks to Chris for his efforts to prep the game board for play and his fine GMing!
