End of Game Statements

Dave Hooton: Congratulations, Christopher. Well played! Thanks again, Chris, for running this.

Christopher Hunt: Thanks to Chris for being as ever a great GM. Great game, not just because I won. Got lucky. Just when I got money, I was able to build a large violet, I got FOUR! That's thirty six of my points.

Kevin Wilson: Last, again. :-( But, this time I was in the hunt in buildings just too short on chits. Just didn’t have stuff to ship at the right times.

Thanks to Chris, as always, for running the game. I’m still learning and will keep playing. I have to win one eventually, right?

Thanks to the others for letting me continue to learn.

Martin Burgdorf: Congratulations, Christopher, and thanks, Chris, for running this.

I produced a lot during the craftsman phase, but I could not turn all of my products into victory points. Doubloons were missing as well, and I should have tried to buy at least one really expensive building. But at least I did not finish last...
