End of Game Statements

Dave Hooton (Harvard Square):  The placement of the "1 more turn" tile was huge in this game. If had been just one more space deeper in the pile, I would have invested in my other Haunted House, giving me 10 more population and wrecking my economy, which would have resulted in my getting Miscreant and Spendthrift. In all, a 40-point swing. Congratulations to Christopher, who played a fine game and thanks to Chris for running it.

Andy York (Austin City Limits):  Well, that could have turned out better. It ended a couple rounds before I'd hoped, but that wouldn't have let me catch up to Christopher - who nearly doubled my score! Impressive!

Thanks to Chris for this opportunity to show how poorly I can play a game.

Christopher Hunt (Greenville):  Thanks to Chris H for running the game and enabling me to read the hexes (my computer does not give enough clarity to the images.  Lucky my private goal most connected Greys and the public goal most greys were virtually the same.  Luckily got the first opportunity to get the airports. Taking lake on the first turn meant I was rarely short of money. I did lose the casino.
