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.
