End of Game Statements

Christopher Hunt:  Good game.   Thanks to Chris for running it.   Congratualtions to Dave on his narrow win.   Never took the chance to fence.  So few animals so many empty spaces.

Chris Geggus:  Knew it. Dave absolutely screwed me by fencing on the last turn and stopping me covering all my spaces. Good play, especially when combined with Andy grabbing start player and leaving me marooned. Actually surprised to be that close with my awful final position. 13 good turns and one stinker - that's gaming for you.

Well played Dave and thanks to Chris H. again.

Bill Scharf:  Thanks for running the game, and congratulations to Dave for winning it. I was five points back from the winner, not too bad for me. Good game everybody!

Dave Hooton:  I've never seen a grain strategy win a game, but since I had the Corn Merchant and the Clapper I tried it. Another oddity in this game was that not once did I bake bread or cook an animal.

Unfortunately, blockages led me to fall behind Chris G. in the family growth race after not being able to build a room until Round 9, Fortunately in the final round I was able to a little blocking of my own in the fencing space, which I needed anyways to make room for my animals. In hindsight, Chris G. could still have at least tied the game if he built at least 3 stables instead of plowing a field.

Thanks, Chris, for running the game.
