End of Game Statements

Christopher Hunt (Greenville):  Well done Dave.  Getting both Casino and the PR helped a lot.  Thanks to Chris for game mastering, excellent as usual.  For the first time I thought I knew what as happening.  The trouble with aiming to have the lowest income and reputation is that you have the lowest income and reputation. Look forward to the next game.

Dave Hooton (Lakeville):  We've all been getting better at Suburbia. The lowest score this time was 91, 10 points higher than the winning score of our first game.  I had hoped to follow an airport strategy this time, but after getting the first, they came out such that Bill was able to intercept them. Eventually, I had to let Bill surge past me while preparing for a pedal-to-the-metal end-game.

Bill Scharf (Yellow Sky City):  Congratulations to Dave on his epic win, and thanks Chris for running it. I think we all upped our game on this one, look at our scores!

Andy York (Austin City Limits):  Congrats to Dave for his convincing win and, as always, thanks to Chris for his masterful GMing skills. On day I'll figure this game out...
