The game ends in a tie! Congratulations to Chris Geggus and Dave Hooton on their joint victory!

End of Game Statements

Chris Geggus: Nice to see a draw (albeit I finish first alphabetically). Well done Dave. I thought I had it, but I was expecting someone to slaughter last turn to save my second veggie,but it didn't happen, so 1 less VP. Game seemed to work okay for me and happy with my final score. When I played at the WBC in July I was last of 5, last of 4 and 4th of 5 in my 3 heats, so a noticeable improvement. Thanks yet again for Chris's patience and hard work. No fun without your hard work!

Dave Hooton: Thanks, Chris G., and a well-done to you too. The Thatcher/Wet Nurse combo should have been more of an advantage for me, especially if Family Expansion comes out late, but there were a couple of factors that worked against this. First is that I started third and was locked out of the occupation spaces. Normally, I would take the small hit and take the first player space, but all the minor improvement cards I had been dealt had requirements, so it would actually be a big hit. Second was that Family Expansion came out at the first opportunity.

One mistake I made was misreading the amount of stone required for the well. As a result, I didn't grab the well when I had the chance. However, Joinery worked almost as well.

Again, Chris. H., thanks for running the game.

Christopher Hunt: I must really learn to buy an oven. Congratulations to the victors, and thanks to Chris for his help and telling the rules I misread. I would agree with the excluded cards.

Andy York: Congrats to Chris on a find win, and to Chris for running it so smartly (as usual). I ended up with my usual poor outing - I'm still trying to figure out a good approach to the game.
