End of Game Statements
Chris Geggus (Cultists): A cracking game. Well done Kevin, just did enough at the end to pinch it. I have still never won a game of this, but I am understanding it a little more each time I play. I think I missed a number of opportunities to score during the game, but as I wasn't expecting to get this close, I wasn't worried. Maybe I should have been! And thanks to Chris once again.
Kevin Wilson (Darklings): Wow, I didn’t expect that outcome. I see references to the Darklings often putting up 100+ VP games and I didn’t think I was getting anywhere near that so I’ll take it. Might be the tightest game yet, of any not just TM. Thanks to all for playing and to Chris for running the game. Like Geggs I seem to get a little bit better feel each game we play but still think there are many nuances I’m missing. I still feel I’m too responsive and not looking far enough ahead but that comes with more plays so sign me up.
Bill Scharf (Auren): Thanks for your
excellent running of the game. It was a lot of fun. First time (I
believe) that I played the Auren....and it turned out so very very
close. Congrats to Kevin on his win! If there’s another game I’d be
interested, but I’ll bow out if another wants to play at the crowded
table.
Christopher Hunt (Nomads): That you
Chris for hanging the game so well and congrautaions to Kevin on his
victory. Built too any small buildings no money stream.
