End of Game Statements

Bill Scharf: Too few eights during the first part of the game killed my chances. Congrats to the winner, condolences to everyone else including me. Wawh, I couda been a contender.....

Chris Geggus: Ouch, ouch and double ouch! I don't think I have ever done that badly in a game of Settlers. I thought my set-up was okay - not great, but acceptable. Then I was blocked at every turn and was stymied for the rest of the game. Don't fancy 5 players on that map again. I'll definitely be voting for Seafarers next time.

Thanks to Chris and well done to Dave. A 9 turn victory is pretty good with 5.

Kevin Wilson: Like Chris I too felt a little penned in. I was OK with my starting spots, one good one and one OK but then the one that was good is the one that got penned in. That road building play, blocking my planned settlement change the complexion for me and brought home the limited choices remaining. I got some good rolls early giving me lots to work with but I simply ran out of room. Once I was penned in and decided to go the card route, the rolls eased off a bit and just didn’t get the cards needed to trade as I was earlier. Then, a 7 following a pass preventing me from spending some cards to get the count down. Oh well, maybe next time. Congrats to Dave on the win.

Let’s go again but with ships this time if we have 5 or more.

Dave Hooton: Thanks to Chris for running it and regards to my fellow players.

I managed to start with a promising position, two good brick spaces with a nearby brick port that I could build to. Like others, I was nearly penned in, but I got my breakout move then I got to a good settlement spot ahead of Kevin. From then on, I was getting resources with almost every roll.

Andy York: One of the quickest games I've played, well done on your victory Dave. Chris, thanks for running the game - I had fun and enjoyed the challenge.
