Victory Points

End of Game Statements

Dave Hooton:  Congratulations to Bill for a well-played victory. I made an error on my second-to-last move, using my prefect for Euboea rather than Epirus. I would have been able to buy a second colonist on my last turn for the win.

Thanks, Chris, for running the game.

Bill Scharf:  Thanks for running the game, I had a lot of fun as usual. Didn’t think I’d win this one for sure.
I picked up the weaver, and I figured if I could end the game as quickly as possible I wouldn’t have to deal with the smooth end-game moves my opponents seem to constantly throw my way. I was able to double up in a few more areas to help my Venus score and I was done, the game outcome depended on what the others did with their moves.

Kevin Wilson:  In hindsight I probably should have grabbed a 3rd colonist earlier for a bit more mobility. Congrats to Bill for a nice, close win. As always a fun game. Way too many options some times. It would be fun to find a 4th as I think the game may be much different with 4.  And, as always (and to the correct person this time) thanks to Chris for running the game.
