Dave Hooton: Thanks to Chris H. for running the game.

I built my game around the brick port and the 6-stone, which left me no 8 spaces. Along with my 4-grain space, I was aiming to concentrate on building cities. However, only five 6 rolls came out during the course of the game compared to twelve 8 rolls. Fortunately, enough 5s and 9s came out to make me king of the road.

Chris Geggus: Strange split in the scores. Maybe the die rolls did favour some noticably more than others. So frustrating to be so close, but no banana. I could see that hidden card of Dave's and it was burning holes in my soul every turn he didn't reveal it. Well played Dave and thanks to Chris H. yet again.

Brendan Whyte: Kevin and I were both crippled by the robber on our 6 grain early on. The one time I did get to steal from someone else, there was a 2/3/ chance I’d get something very useful… and I picked the 1/3 useless item! Dang. And I didn’t get any ports so had less trading options. Also interesting that the 3 frontrunners were the only ones to have settlements at the junction of 3 land tiles. Once they’d secured those spots, Kevin and I were left on the perimeter. Maybe we should play Cosmic Encounters so I can be Sniveller both in and out of the game! Not sure I like this variant… seems too much luck in terms of whether once can get a good spot on the board at setup or not, especially with 5 players. 3 (or 4) might have been better on this board. Well done to the top 3, and thanks for Chris for running. But Kev and I both felt we’d already lost too early in the game.

Andy York: Great job to Dave, coming across the finish line just ahead of Chris G and me. This, actually, may have been one of my better outings with some very favorable die rolls and a decent starting position. However, skill always beats the lucky die! Appreciate Chris H's usual GMing skill in keep this one going smoothly.
