End of Game Statements

Andy York (Dutch) Wow, I didn't think I would be first across the finish line. The other Andy certainly gave me a run for my money. Thanks for the fine Gming job Chris!

Andy Lewis (Swedes) Congrats to Andy Y. Looks like the police force just had too much to do to make it to the top.

Dave Partridge (English) Congrats to Andy. I had a reasonable run going, but just couldn't seem to quite keep up with the Andys so figured I'd better make a play for the 5 PC win. It wasn't a bad try, just needed the dice to break my way and they didn't. A lot of fun as always, sign me up for the next one!

Chis Hassler (GM) There were a couple of new twists in this game. The first was the use of the non-player rule. I thought it worked reasonably well, although I think the rule is slanted toward aggression, so it can leave the position somewhat vulnerable to attack, as was witnessed in the game. I tried to play the Portuguese rationally based on the limitations, and I thought they did reasonably well. The objective of those rules is not for the non-player country to win, just to have an effect on the game. The other twist was the use of Dennis' suggested variants. I thought they worked well, and they seemed fairly balanced, although the Spanish player never availed himself of his advantage. All in all, I think both are keepers.
