End of Game Statements

Andy York (Septem Tribus):  Not a strong outing by me, couldn't seem to get a decent mix of cards. Regardless, I very much enjoy playing this game - good job all around. Kudos to Chris G. For his strong win, and as always, thanks to Chris H. for a great job helming the game.

Bill Scharf (Valley Trust): Thanks for running the game, great fun. And congrats to Chris for the win. Wait, Chris !?! That can’t be right...let me click back to the original message..............................................well I’ll be, Chris Geggus WAS the winner....amazing win....in a very close field. Good job everybody!

Chris Geggus (Pristar):  Thanks Chris for your patience and time yet again. It's your input and effort that allows us mere players to enjoy these games so much. Surprised to win by such a margin, but my tactic of pushing to score points in the awards seems to have paid off - especially as I didn't purchase any of them. So, thank you to those who did.

Good fun as usual and thanks to all for another enjoyable game.

Christopher Hunt (Lakefront Resorts):  May I agree with Chris about his patience anytime yet gain. It his input that keeps us, and especially me, on track and playing legal actions in the right game.

Congratulations to Chris G on his fine win.

Kevin Wilson (Arklight):  Another fun game.  Closer than I expected as I just didn’t feel I could get a rhythm with the cards that came my way.  Missed again on the VP from cards.  Seemed to go pretty fast too.  Although it did go 8 generations it seemed shorter. 

Congrats to Chris on a nice, stealthy win.  Thanks to Chris for running the game flawlessly as usual.
