End of Game Statements

Bill Scharf: No one assassinated me, no one stole from me, no one traded hands with me, and no one destroyed any of my buildings. Sniff, I feel…I feel…. neglected and unwanted….here everyone else was having a splendid time bashing each other while ignoring me, sniff….well I’ll get over it, eventually.

I enjoy this game quite a bit and have played it for hours on end with my parents, siblings, and their families… I remember the gasp and the clutching of cards/chest as the victims of the assassin and thief were named…ah, good times…

Chris Geggus: A real hammering there from Bill. Well done indeed. 13 Turns and I was assassinated twice, target of the Thief four times and had my hand swapped away once as well. Just could not get going at all. Even that final steal stopped me getting second. Whilst enjoyable I really do think it needs 6+ players as it is so much an all-in round-house type of game with constant shifts and guesses as all players strive to be both active and invisible at the same time. Always played it at cons as an end of evening fun game for a large group. And thanks, of course, to Chris H. yet again. [I was hoping to get more people to sign up for it, but it languished for quite a while at 4 players. Hopefully more people will show an interest. -- Chris Hassler]
Kevin Wilson: OK, that was fun. Starting to sound like a broken record, but another first play. Like Gegs I got popped, robbed and swapped enough times to really hinder any success. I guess I was being too predictable in my selections at time and sucked trying to guess what others would choose. And getting my 5 card hand swapped for 0! right at the end was particularly killer. I can see how this one could be a real hoot with 6 or 7 players; a real row at those numbers I suspect, especially face-to-face and over beers!!

Thanks to Chris for running and congrats to Bill for a convincing win.

Christopher Hunt: Thanks sot Chris H for running the game. Much better with more players. Got off to a good start. Plan at the end was to use the money and warlord to kill the war room and win from behind but thieved upon. Still a good game. Congrats to Bill. Good use of the warlord.
