Chris Geggus: Thanks to Chris
once again for coping so admirably with the vagaries of the four of us
and making it run so smoothly.
Nice to win Agricola at long last. My plan seemed to
work, only being disrupted a couple of times (lack of second field
being a biggie). I don't know what you guys think, but I reckon the
Animal Pen is just too strong. Get it out in the first half of the game
and you can almost forget the food situation for the rest of the game.
Hence why I never needed to buy a Fireplace. I know you need 4 occs,
but, particularly if drafting, you will want your occs out soonest
anyway - so a win/win in my eyes.
Good fun as ever and thanks to everyone for going
the distance.
Andy York: Congrats to Chris G
for a strong outing, well deserved win. I'm still trying to gain a good
understanding of the game and the mechanics, only playing it a few
times over the years. So, not sure of the best courses of actions with
each set of opening improvements/occupations and how best to decipher
what the other players may be working on to try to pick the "hot" spots
on the board before someone uses them. Thanks to Chris H. for another
excellent game mastering out (and thanks for catching my mistakes!).
Dave Hooton: Congratulations on
Chris G. on his victory and thanks to Chris H. for running it. If
I had kept closer eye on Chris G.'s position, I would have blocked
Traveling Players on the final round to cost him some points, but I
also had a couple of good breaks in the last two rounds to get two
family members.
I've never seen someone win with a wheat-farming
strategy, but since I was dealt two plows and a yoke, along with the
Straw Roof, I had to try even though it put me behind in the baby
race. Still, the amber waves of grain in round 13 (24 units in
the field) was something to see.
