End of Game Statements

Dave Hooton:  That was a painful game for me. Only twice did one of my Throne cards come out with another action card, and even then I could only manage to buy a Gold card. And my Gold and Silver cards stayed well away from each other. Congratulations to Chris G., who had 3  Mountebanks before I could even buy my first 5-coin card. Thanks, Chris, for running it.

Kevin Wilson:  I think I only came up 1 coin short for a Province once. Beyond that, not even close. I guess I should have started on the Duchies sooner but I kept hoping something might fall out to get that Province.  Too many coppers, estates and not enough everything else.

Congrats to Chris on a nice win. Close probably as much because there were no 2 buy cards and not too many extra action cards than anything else. He just made the best of it.  Thanks to Chris for running the game and to the rest for the play.

Bill Scharf:  Congratulations to Chris g on his win! And thanks to Chris hassler for running it! A very close game.

Chris Geggus:  Nice to win one at last. I thought all my previous feeble attempts hadn't work, so I wanted to try something different. Pretty basic, but obviously worked. One thing that annoys me about this game is seat draw. I was going last and thus most unlikely to get the same number of turns as a few or a lot of the other players. Don't know if any balancing mechanism has ever been put about, but can be a game changer. As it happens my next turn would have been a doubled Mountebank and a Province, which I was hoping to get home and give me the win. Just managed without it. Good fun and thanks Chris for running.

Christopher Hunt:  Well done Chris G on your win.  Only got close because I had the last turn.  Thanks to Chris H for showing me the errors of the double throne move. Should have brought silver instead of some of the thrones.

Chris Hibbert:  Well, I had fun, even if my score shows me in fifth place.

I have too much fondness for playing a Chapel game. It didn't serve me well here. I was able to get rid of all my estates, most of my Copper, and a few curses, but my other cards didn't combine well enough to allow me to buy the Provinces I was counting on. I was mostly buying treasure cards, and trashing when I could. I had no desire for Throne room as double Chapel or double Laboratory are pretty useless. I preferred Laboratory to Monument, since I was planning to get my hand to a point where two cards would average more than two coins. It looks to me like Monument didn't make the difference for anyone. Though I guess one more duchy or Province for Kevin or Christopher would have pushed them over the top.

Thanks for running the game, Chris Hassler.
