Hey everyone!
We had a pretty big group and got to play a good number of games. Playing were Bob, Carol and Rachel J, Dave, Noreen and Andrew, Rachel S and Dan K, Bill, Stephanie R, Jason, Rachel R, and Alex, Eric, and for the first time, our good friend from Dave’s Damascus GCOM group (as well as a general GCOM gamer), Gwen.
I don’t think we’re going to be able to get in another Saturday session before January but I will keep everyone up to date.
Hope to see everyone soon!

Bob: This is a great abstract by
Reiner
Knizia. Everyone who plays it seems to love it. |

Bob: Noreen’s last route,
finished as the last tile down, scored enough points to win the game
for Noreen by itself. Yikes. |

Bob: We apparently played with
more players than the game can handle. Good game, though. Dan K: I definitely agree with the good game part--I think our objection wasn’t that you can’t play with 7 players, but that the strategy intended by the game designers is severely compromised with so many players. The game ended too quickly--you didn’t have enough turns to execute any real strategy in your gameplay. I would love to play this game again with only 4 or 5 players. |

Eric: We played with the Dodge
City expansion and two Renegades. This was one of the shortest games of
Bang! ever. Six of the eight
players didn’t even get a second turn. |
