End of Game Statements

Kevin Wilson:  Congrats to Chris. Impressive!

I thought I was off to a decent start but got slammed by a card early, losing some gold and never seemed to catch up. I had a couple of good unique cards early that I was afraid to play too early and by the time I was ready to play, just couldn’t get the gold to get them in play.  Maybe next time.

Thanks to Chris, as always, for running the game, and to the others for another fun play.

Christopher Hunt:  Well done Chirs on your win.   Thanks to Chris H for running the game.   Started well, done in by the Magistrate.  Liked the choices. Little stealing of money. Much manipulation.

Chris Geggus:  Always enjoyable, even if a little like Russian Roulette at times. I have to admit that I certainly didn't aim at getting all 5 colours, it simply worked out that way by playing buildings that I could actually afford. I guess I also got fortunate in choice of characters most of the time, especially in the near impossible task of trying to second guess my oppos. Thanks all and thanks Chris H.
