Final Score

End of Game Statements

Chris Geggus (Knights of the Shield):  I really enjoy this game and strangely enough I played it a couple of weeks ago at the re-opening of my local club and managed a similar score in that one. I feel it is paramount to get plot cards out early and always have enough quests available to be able to change tack during turns when required. Surprised City Guard did not have any buildings matching their lord. They even let me take a building with a late action when they should have taken it for 8 VPs well before me. Those lords are very powerful as most players will be limited to about 8 quests max, but to be able to pick up an extra 2 or even 4 buildings on top really racks up the points. I love drawing one of those. Things seemed to fall in place for me during the game as I always had options, albeit I did make one blunder by not revealing my lord earlier and protecting myself from two attacks that I should have blocked. I was trying to be too clever when I should have realised I was going to be prime target once I hit the front. Thanks to all for making it a good game.

Let's have another one asap please. Thanks Chris for running as efficiently as ever.

Bill Scharf (Red Sashes):  This was an enjoyable game. The expansions, particularly the corruption, means you get more stuff…but at a cost. Unlike the first game we played of this, there were a number of ways to remove it, fortunately. Congrats to Chris on his win, and thanks Chris, for running it.

Christopher Hunt (Harpers):  Congratulations to Chris on his decisive win.  Thanks to Chris H for running the game so helpfully.  I still do not 'understand' how to win at this game as is shown by by abysmal results but i'm am getting better.  Very enjoyable. Looking forward to the next.

Kevin Wilson (City Guard):  Congrats to Chris on an impressive win thanks to a particularly impressive turn 6 with almost 70VP collected. 

I need to take better notes on why I do or don’t do things in games because my memory sucks.  I do recall passing once on a shot at a build with the Skullport logo thinking I had a better play and would still have a shot.  Perhaps it wasn’t wise to pass but I was watching for quests and buildings that would allow some Sangalor bonuses.  I grabbed a few quests as such but the buildings, oh well.  Like I said, while I do recall passing once I don’t recall any thoughts on other opportunities so it is likely I missed them.  Given the strength of the win, wouldn’t have mattered anyway as the 8VP missed opportunities wouldn’t close the gap.

And, as always, thanks to Chris for running the game.  Not that heavy on bookkeeping but lots of moving parts.
