Congratulations to Andy York on his victory!

End of Game Statements

Chris Geggus (Astrodrill):  Congrats to Andy. Very much seems the Awards and Milestones made the difference here. I never really seemed to get going properly, but did enjoy having 40 resources on my Ants. Is that a record? Thanks to Chris and all. Fun as ever.

Christopher Hunt (Arklight):  Thanks to Chris for running the game.   Congratulatins ot Andy.   Over so quickly. Did not get into awrads or milestones enough, low Terraforming.  Virtually no cities.

Dave Hooton (Pharmacy Union):  Congratulations to Andy who played a fine game. I'll note that  his entire margin of victory occurred after everyone else had passed on the final turn. This was the first time I played Pharmacy Union, and it took me a turn or so to play it well.

Thanks, Chris, for running the game.

Andy York (Aridor):  I had an advantage from the start in amassing a strong MC Production base that eased many of my choices going forward. Also, kept a better eye on the Milestones and Awards than I usually do which helped.

But it was a close run thing, thanks to all for the excellent competition! And, thanks to Chris for letting us play the game under his sharp GMing skills.

Kevin Wilson (Tharsis Republic):  Congrats to Andy and thanks to Chris. Another fun one. Just didn’t see cards to give VP but in the hunt for most others.
