Plantation Dog

Turn 13

End of Game Statements due 12/27, Tuesday

Errata

It was pointed out to me that during the Mayor phase, you may not put colonists in San Juan if they can be put elsewhere. As a result, the two colonists that Richard gained went to the corn plantation and the Small Wharf. Since the Small Wharf was manned, during the Capitan phase, he shipped all of his goods for 3 VP (including the Harbour bonus).

Turn 13

Richard selects Builder, and builds a Fortress (Builder bonus, 2 Quarries, and 7 doubloons), Andy Y. passes, Andy L. builds a Union Hall (2 Quarries, 7 doubloons), Brad builds a Guesthouse (2 Quarries and 2 doubloons, gains 1 VP from the Church), and Chris builds a Small Indigo Plant (1 Quarry).

Andy Y. selects the Craftsman, producing 4 sugar, 1 corn, and 3 tobacco, Andy L. produces 4 corn, 1 indigo, and 2 coffee, Brad produces 2 indigo and 1 sugar, Chris produces 1 corn, 2 indigo, 1 sugar, and 2 tobacco, and Richard produces 3 corn, 1 indigo, and 2 coffee.

Andy L. selects the Captain, shipping 4 corn on Ship 2 for 5 VP, Brad ships 3 indigo on Ship 1 for 3 VP, Chris ships 2 tobacco on Ship 3 for 2 VP, Richard ships 3 corn on Ship 2 for 4 VP (Ship 2 sails), Andy Y. ships 2 tobacco on Ship 3 for 2 VP (Ship 3 sails), Andy L. ships 2 indigo on Ship 1 for 2 VP, Brad cannot ship, Chris ships 1 indigo on Ship 1 for 1 VP (Ship 1 sails), Richard ships 1 indigo and 1 coffee via the Small Wharf for 2 VP, and Chris ships 1 corn via the Wharf for 1 VP. Chris discards 1 indigo and Andy Y. discards 2 corn.

Brad selects the Mayor and places colonists on the Cloister, and 2 in the Guesthouse, Chris places colonists on the Indigo Plant and Tobacco Storage, Richard places colonists on the Fortress and in San Juan, Andy Y. places colonists in San Juan, and Andy L. places a colonist on the Union Hall.

Chris selects the Trader, gaining 1 doubloon, and trading sugar for 3 doubloons (2 plus Trader bonus), Richard trades coffee for 4 doubloons, plus 1 for the Small Market, Andy Y. trades tobacco for 3 doubloons, Andy L. trades coffee to the Trading Post for 4 doubloons, and Brad can't trade.

Press

Richard Weiss: I am glad to learn and very sorry about the news about the death of Paul. I've been playing against him for maybe 20 years or more. Always a champ. Chris, thank you and my appreciation for your taking over what would have been orphan games. You are following in the line of many great zine publishers in doing so. For those who remember Boardman number assignment and Orphan Game placement, I'm sure you are applauding.

I look forward to resuming some very old friendships with some of those coming into SOB from Boris. Brad, Ward. Mike. Bill, Chris. Michael we've all played and competed at one time or another, in a variety of ways. At least two of you played in my zine, Zero Sum. Jack, I hope you don't recognize my name or remember that we've always been enemies. I can't remember one time we were allied. And as for Mr. Doug Kent, I believe I remain one of the very few persons in the hobby who met Doug, went to his apartment, dined with him, etc. I can't wait to get into a game with all of you!

Notes

With this turn, we have reached two of the three end of game conditions: the colonist supply is empty, and Chris has built his twelfth building. We almost hit the third condition as well, with only 1 VP chit available. So, we are now on to counting victory points:

Congratulations to Chris Geggus on his victory!
