End of Game Statements
Dave Hooton (Barcelona): Briefly, in this particular game I was to cards what Chris G. is to dice. Also, the latter part of the previous sentence is why I got Cathedral early and took pains to keep it to myself.
Chris Geggus (Paris): Always
good fun. Needs a more creative style of thought and play I sometimes
find. The obvious is not always the optimum route. Congrats to David
for a well played game throughout. I made a major blunder in the
penultimate turn which cost me a few points, but not enough to trouble
the clear winner. Thanks again to Chris. When's the next one?
