7 Wonders - Wonder Pack, Leaders, Cities, and Armada

Notes

Your Armada board will be to the right of your regular player board, and any islands you have will be to the right of or below the Armada board.  When you play a card or build a stage of your wonder, if you have the available resources, I will automatically have you advance in the appropriate shipping track.  If you can get the resource from one of your neighbors, you will have to specify that in your orders.  Just for clarity sake, I will be referring to the four shipping lanes as follows:  Red:  Military, Yellow: Commercial; Blue: Civic; Green: Exploration.

End of Game Statements

Chris Geggus (Rome):  Well done Bill. Always very enjoyable, win or lose, is how I look at it. I took a gamble on round 6 last turn with my Naval Archives looking for a science support card for an extra 9 points, but, as expected, didn't get it (no dice ha).

Thanks Chris for GM'ing and ready for the next one.

Dave Hooton (Babylon):  I was so focused on getting the resources needed for my wonder that I never got papyrus, glass, or cloth. This was a big handicap.

Thanks for running the game, Chris.

Bill Scharf (Abu Simbel):  Good game everyone, and thanks to Chris H for gming it. Runs very quickly since each persons actions are handled simultaneously. I like the expansions we played with. Armada adds a bit to the four main colors, and leaders I consider almost a must play expansion…it adds so much to the game. 

Kevin Wilson (Giza):  Fun for only a second play but I did get much more comfortable with the options from Armada.  I like Leaders.  I’m starting to like Cities but still getting a solid feel for Armada.  I guess I should have paid a little more attention to the science track.  Oh well.

Congrats to Bill for the win and thanks to Chris for running the game, answering my questions and generally keeping me in bounds.

Christopher Hunt (Manneken Pis):  Great game.  Thanks to Chris of GMimg.  Congratulations to Bill on his win.  Spent too much time of military.
