Dave 38, Bob 30, Dan K 24, Noreen 21 |
Bob: This is an
overlooked gem that we played a few times when I first bought it and
not since. With the Westbank Gamers variants, it becomes a very
good, tense game. |
| Wongar |
Eric
61, Noreen 59, Bob 54, Dan K 46, Dave 38 |
Bob: Another good
game we need to play more often. This was pretty close as we all
tried to master the many, many options available each turn. By the end,
I think we were close to getting it. Eric: We last played this on 8/31/2002. We did one thing incorrectly. When you choose a symbol card from one of the territories, only the first piece has to go in that territory. The other pieces may go in any territory. |

Eric
19, Rachel S 14, Dave 13, Dan K 10, Bob 9 |
Bob: First play for this
dice-fest from Reiner Knizia. I liked the theme and the setting
up of gladitorial teams. Need to try it again to see if there’s
more strategy than initially apparent. |
| Ys |
Bob
85 points + 25 gems, Dan K 85 points + 23 gems, Eric 82, Dave 76 |
Bob: This half-blind bidding
game has been compared to Aladdin’s Dragons and rightly so. Although the theme is less fanciful, there is much more meat. |

Bob: We
haven’t played Democrazy in
years. My memory was that it was
confusing and complicated. We had no such difficulties this time
as it seemed very simple (perhaps we’ve become more sophisticated as
gamers). We had a lot of fun
and I expect this game will hit the
table again soon. (Sorry, Eric.) Eric: Ugh. Coincidentally, we also last played this on 8/31/2002. |
