End of Game Statements

Andy York (TROD/Crysoprase): First time playing this one and I'm still trying to figure it out. Fortunately, I had a straight forward victory condition and just kept my eye on it and had a good run of cards that supported the goal.

One thing I definitely was not doing was keeping track of the other players. When I realized I was in reach of my goal, I suddenly wondered if anyone else was close to a win. So, in the future, I need to watch the other players in case I need to play a spoiler role in blocking their potential win.

Chris, thanks for running a challenging game and introducing me to it.

Bill Scharf (TVFSDC/Lord Vetinari): Congrats to Andrew on his victory....he had 4 areas so that's what i defended against (A Lord).....oh well....I was only one area from a win myself (as Ventinari) so , I knew the game wasn't going much longer. Chris, thanks for running it.

Christopher Hunt (The Librarian/Lord deWorde): Congratulations Andrew, well won. Also thanks to Chris for running the game and stopping me playing the cards I did not have
