End of Game Statements

Dave Hooton (Thorgate):  After grabbing a couple of milestones, I was plodding along, using my energy advantage to develop a titanium/Jovian infrastructure. Then, I got a couple of cards which enabled me to run the temperature up 12C while laying the final ocean tiles and grabbing two awards in the process. So, I switched horses and ending the game with a bang (Deimos Down).

Thanks, Chris, for running the game.

Bill Scharf (Cheung Shing Mars):  Didn’t get the cards I needed when I needed them, frozen out of the milestones and mostly out of the awards, it happens. Thanks for running the game, and congratulations to Dave on his win. Fun as always.

Andy York (Ecoline):  Didn't see the end of the game on this Generation, was expecting it next time. However, it wouldn't have made a substantive difference in the ending score as I'm far from Dave's commanding score (Great job!). Couldn't get much working together, and even though I was successful in planting Greenery, never had much opportunity to found cities where they'd help me!

Chris, thanks for the superlative GMing effort!

Chris Geggus (Credicor):  Possibly the best organised last round I have seen played in the game. Perfectly timed and expert use in sequencing those particular cards. Certainly 4 of us were expecting another generation, so a superb coup de gras. Well done Dave. Second to that score is almost a win. I enjoyed playing another new corporation with a few still more to come. Thanks all and thanks Chris.

Kevin Croskery (Arklight):  Congratulations to Dave on his victory and thanks to Chris for running the game. Like the others, I thought there would be one more generation but Dave's Coup de Gras put paid to that. I had a nice animal engine beginning to run but like my other games too little too late. Must try harder but it's fun playing with the big boys.

As an aside, has anyone tried TM on BGA? It's just the basic game and still a little rough around the edges. Real time scoring is a feature that will affect game play.

The numbers in the Resource Marker column indicate the box, numbered from left to right, while the number in parenthesis is the number of resources to be gained from that space.  N/A indicates that the marker is not in place because a card that can accept those resources is not in play.  Text in the colony spaces indicates either the owner of the colony, or the benefit of establishing a colony there.
