End of Game Statements
Chris Geggus (Hamburg):
An absolute crushing. Well done Bill. It was actually painful having to
play through the last couple of turns. If it was a boxing match the
referee would have stepped in well before the end. I enjoyed it, but
couldn't seem to get any rhythm going in my play this time around. Only
thing I really thought unusual was the London card play on turn 7 being
a little generous towards Venice. I can only presume it was to avoid
big misery increases?
Well done all for another fair and fine tussle and thanks to Chris for his usual excellence.
Bill Scharf (Venice):
A very unusual game, mostly because I won this one. Most unusual. I
still believe Venice has a great starting location and just ran with
it. Also unusual, after my card draws I saw a lot of terrible cards in
my hand…. terrible if they are played on you rather than by you that
is. Usually I only see them during the latter usage, but not this game!
I played very aggressively against Barcelona…. mainly because Dave is
very very good at this game and he has to be slowed down for anyone
else to have a chance, and I also played somewhat aggressively against
Hamburg, mostly because Chris seems a bit disappointed when I
don’t. Michael and Bob I didn’t interact much with at all, board
position and their combative neighbors saw to that. Martin was doing
well as Genoa but his evisceration by Hamburg during War! took him out
of the running. Thanks to Chris H. for running this game, which I enjoy
a lot, and thanks to everyone for playing, I had a great time gaming
with you.
Dave Hooton (Barcelona): Congratulations to Bill on his victory. I can find no flaw in his fine play.
The end-game revolved around control of the Spice and Silk spaces. In
this decisive conflict, Bill was aided by dice apparently swiped from
Chris G. (along with the traditional earmarked-for-me Black Death
card). During these lopsided expansion phases, I lost 43 tokens to Bill
while he lost only 5 to me.
As always, thanks to Chris H. for running the game.
