End of Game Statements

Bill Scharf (TFWNN):  As always, a fun game. Thanks for running it. As for the other players, I’m guessing yellow was a lord, and blue was vimes. I got a lot of cards at the beginning, but minimal cards that allowed me to play other cards, and not many assassin cards…I think I had two during the game!

Andy York (TTG):  Great job to Kevin in edging ahead of the rest of the pack. I kept dancing near the victory line, but was thwarted every time. Good game played by all. Appreciate the GMing effort by Chris.

Christopher Hunt (TDBG):  Thank to chris for running the game so well.  Congratulations to Kevin on his fine win.  Went card - dry too many interrupt cards, no discard card, no assassins, no builds.

Kevin Wilson (PIKES):  Too often I try to hide my character, make misleading plays unless I’m Vimes, then it’s just keep others from winning and run out the deck.  This time, just threw caution to the wind and went for the minions everywhere. I had some good cards early then none for a few turns.  Too many events and interrupts to get much done.  Luckily no one else got to the end and finally the cards turned.  A couple of lucky events that didn’t negatively impact things but let me toss of a card or 2 to draw more and the minions finally came around again. Always a fun game. Thanks to Chris for running and the others for playing.
