End of Game Statements

Dave Hooton (East Boston):  Thanks for running the game, Chris.

There was an airport in the cheap section of the initial line-up, so I decided to have my borough be centered around an airport strategy, much like the real-life Eastie. (Similarly, my borough in the previous game was inspired by Elizabeth, NJ.) However, no other airports ever came out, so I reached for the stars and used them to obtain two goals.

One aspect of this particular game was a paucity of high-income properties, which prevented many of the high-cost properties from being bought. Slaughterhouse came out early, but who knew that so many restaurants would show up?

Christopher Hunt (Greenville):  Congratulations to Dave on his excellent win.  Thanks to Chris for his excellent gamewsmastery.  Still learning what to do as can be seen by my results.  [GM Note:  You have improved dramatically since your first game.]

Andy York (Austin City Limits):  Congrats to Dave on a solid win, and thanks to Chris H. for his usual superb GMing.  As for my placing, I'd already planned to start my End-Game statement with "the less said about my poor play the better...". How I gained that many people, I have no idea...
