End of Game Statements

Kevin Wilson: I missed the note on the colonist supply running out putting us to the end and thought we’d have another turn. I guess I should have bought something small for a VP or 2. Wouldn’t have changed the outcome any but I should have paid attention better.

Fun as usual. Had we another turn, I felt pretty good with the factory, office and large market that I might be able to put something together. Oh well. Well played by Chris and Christopher, a tight finish. Thanks to the rest for letting us play and, as always, thanks to Chris for hosting/running the game.

I’ll keep playing and maybe someday, will win one.

Dave Hooton: Congratulations to Chris G. on the win, thanks to Chis H. for running it, and apologies to Christopher H. for an oversight on my part that cost him the game. Had I realized that there were only three tobaccos left to be produced, I would have chosen Craftsman and later shipped those tobaccos instead of Chris G., resulting in Christopher H, me and then Chris G. for the win, place, and show.

Chris Geggus: Oooh, I was sweating on that last turn of Kevin. If he had chosen Builder I would have been beaten by Christopher on cash. Actions did seem to fall into line for me, but I guess that we suffer swings and roundabouts in all our games. Really enjoyed it yet again, but strange to think that this is still one of my all-time top 5 games considering it is genuinely one of the golden oldies now. It may look and even feel dated, but it just seems to work.

Thanks to Chris and a broad thank you to all for fair play, good spirit and attentive gaming. Couldn't ask for more.

Christopher Hunt: Thanks for running the game so well. A great game. Well done Chris. I knew that if I took craftsman Chris would captain for many points but I thought there would be at least one more turn and the 2 doubloons were so tempting. But I think my real mistake was building the factory instead of holding out for a lighthouse or wharf. Gave up on my early strategy craftsman and captain.

Andy York: Bottom of the list, so what's new. One of these days I'll figure the game out. Congrats to Chris on his win and thanks to the gm for a fun game.
