End of Game Statements

Chris Geggus:  Cracking game. I do like the constant changaroo with these characters. And playing with only 4 seems even harder. But oh so frustrating. Drew 2 cards with 4 gold in hand on the last turn and could not buy either of them, which screwed me good and proper. That was the game gone. Well done Kevin and thanks Chris.

Christopher Hunt:  Congratulations to Kevin on his win the cards I got at the end were 1 or 2 points, 3 I draw 4 or more I win.  Thanks to Chris H for navigating me through the rules and character complications.  Very enjoyable.  Wonderful characters. Buildings, cards being stolen left right and centre.

Bill Scharf:  A very enjoyable game, as always. Congratulations to Kevin on his win!

Kevin Wilson:  I told Chris when I sent in my last orders that I’d probably lose to you by 1 but if I waited I would almost surely lose. I thought I had won it before. The new edition only requires 7 districts to complete a city. I rushed to 7 and thought I had triggered the end with a more comfortable lead. I had 1 of each at that point. But the old rules were 8 and we hadn’t confirmed before starting so we played on. I was out of cards after that attempt so had to build back up and in the interim lost the 1 of each bonus. I knew it would be close but it seemed then or never.

Fun play, glad I slipped by. Thanks to all for playing and to Chris for running the game.
