End of Game Statements

Dave Hooton (Confanishopeful):  Thanks to Chris for running the game. I had planned to major in airports, but the first two came out together and in the wrong part of rotation, so I got neither.  Fortunately, I was able to build up momentum with other buildings and didn't run into a strong headwind until the end of my last move.

Andy York (Austin City Limits):  Congrats to Dave on his well deserved victory (by a solid margin, no less).

I tried a slightly different strategy, concentrating on building my income stream rather than a broader approach. However, still ended up in 2nd place - my usual "also ran" position.

Appreciate then fine GMing by Chris, as always.

Bill Scharf (Yellowknife):  Thanks for running the game, and congrats to David on running away with it. I was a dollar off on two key buys….typical for me, but a fun game nonetheless. Maybe it’s a good thing I was hired by another company six weeks before that urban planning job call came in!

Christopher Hunt (Greenville):  Thanks to Chris for GMimg and interpretative the tiles I could not read.  Congratulations to Dave on his runaway victory.  Never seen a game with so much money. Choose less greens because they are the best way so they would be brought but no one did.
