Chris Geggus: Really have to concentrate with 5 players. I got lucky with the Perpetual Student and the Bookcase together which covered my food most of the game. Always enjoyable as an exercise in point accumulation which I prefer sometimes. Thanks to Chris.

Bill Scharf: The only thing I did differently in this game was I wrote down the various point scoring tiers and made my selections based on that. If I couldn’t advance in one category, I advanced in another. It was pretty easy to switch gears this game, was it this new system, me, or just the luck of the game that brought me second place? I know, I know, it was the luck of the game, right? Lol.
Andy York: I actually thought I'd place higher, but obviously other folks' actions more than canceled out the gains I'd expected. Always something new to learn from in this game, as well as from the sharks that also are playing.

Congrats to Chris G for his well deserved win! Thanks to Chris H for his excellent GMing skills.

Christopher Hunt: Congratulations to Chris. Thanks to Chris H for running the game so well. I lost the plot early on. Played yoke way too early. Note to self do not play at 3 in the morning .

Dave Hooton: Congratulations to Chris G. on his victory and thanks to Chris H. for running it.

I planned my game around using the Businessman to get many major and minor improvements. Unfortunately, too many of my worthwile improvements had prerequisites of two or three occupations, and there was a long line to get them. I didn't get to use Businessman for the second time until Round 9.
