End of Game Statements

Christopher Hunt: Thanks to Chris H for running the game and to Chris G for winning, Congratulations. I’ve tried number of tomes to get the libraian to work and have yet to succeed, but as apex-librarian I will nor doubt persist.

Dave Hooton: Congratulations to Chris G. (I almost said Greg again) on the win, and thanks to Chris H. for running the game.

After miscounting the number of city spaces left, I took Residence instead of Statue which gave Chris G. 4 points at my expense, but it didn't affect the final positions.

It's tough to do a corn strategy when corn plantations appear only sporadically.

Kevin Wilson: Well, at least you were counting spaces. I was watching the colonist count and not paying that much attention to the city spaces. My error given my limited number of plays. Consider it a lesson learned. But, had I caught it and made a different purchase there at the end likely, as Dave said, it didn’t change the outcome so a lesson learned with no real consequences.

Congrats to Chris G on the win and thank to Chris H for running the game.

Chris Geggus: Yes I was indeed watching the building slots on my island. I was surprised that no-one took the Statue ahead of me as Kevin was certainly not going to play Mayor on his last turn, so the 8 point bonus was a no-brainer. Christopher's early VP lead was not a problem either whilst he had so few buildings on the board. Even a 10 point lead was closed by my buildings. Role selections by everyone seemed to help me in this game. Don't know why, just good fortune.

Thanks to Chris and well played all. Always up for playing this old classic.
