End of Game Statements

Andy York (Spanish) Wow, I'm surprised. In turn 9, I suddenly realized that the game ended in one turn. I'd been playing longer game in my mind (OK, I haven't played this game many times) and had to confirm with Chris that we're in the end-game. Fortunately, my long-term plans worked out to result in an unexpected short-term win.

Thanks to Chris for running the game and for the challenges provided by the other players. I'm sure things will turn out differently next game!

Andy Lewis (French) to Dave - You'll pay for that I have a long memory. What was your name again?

Congrats to the other Andy for the win. Gold and a better position that didn't get attacked made the difference. Good play.

Bob Robles (English) Fast start then fumbled around for the rest of the game, Still, congratulations to Andy York.

Dave Partridge (Dutch) The attacks by the Portuguese tied me down early which slowed me just enough to prevent a good run at the win. I took my best shot in turn 9 but as expected it fell short. I decided early on on the Political Control strategy rather than money and I think it was the right choice and would have worked well were it not for the need to keep fighting. Enjoy your riches Andy, and slip Brendan a few doubloons, he needs them (<:

Cary Nichols (Swedes) Congrats, Andy, well done!

Brendan Whyte (Portuguese) I'm glad our fellow Iberians won and not the Dutch or English! I suck at this game, but still enjoy it. Anyone got any secrets to winning they could share with me?
