Pick of the Litter

End of Game Statements

Dave Hooton: Howard was catching up to me due to my lack of Type-C passenger lines and several  key depletions, but he ran out of time.

Bill Scharf: This is always an interesting game, even though not everyone always has an equal chance of winning. It's board position...if you get a lot of claims in your area early in the game, and other areas less so....that gives you the operating capital to expand and get more claims etc. Luck tends to even things out, and the Denver/Pueblo area adds competition that Salt Lake City and El Paso don't have. Still, mining is all about luck...have you hit a glory hole or does the mine run out quickly....so the game gives a great sense of that....doing the best you can with the cards you have been dealt. I enjoyed the game, and that's the point of it right? Congrats to Dave on his win.

Debbie Anderson: Once I lost the race to the western railroad and I never understood the new rules like I could only sell so much per turn. Sorry.
