Session Report April 24, 2007

Attendees(7): Michael, Barbara, Sharon, Warren, Cheryl, Troy, and Andrew.


Warren, Steve, and I played this Michael Schacht design. I own Paris Paris and Web of Power has some similarities but it is a little more complex. The nice thing about this game (and Paris Paris) is that it has some strategy but can be played in a short time. The downside is that there is a lot of luck and there is very little tension (at least for me). I was fortunate to get a lot of France cards and build up a strong Ambassador base there that carried me to victory in this one.
Final Scores: Mike 66, Andrew 52, and Warren 50.

This was a new game for all three of us. It was a very interesting economic game with lots of tactical decisions. It will definitely take more plays to figure out a strategy for this one. Andrew was unfortunate to fall behind on closing out regions and was unable to catch up.
Final Scores: Mike 152, Warrern 142, and Andrew 108.

Cheryl and Troy learned this one for the first time and I think they enjoyed this clever deduction game. They questioned the Monks in the Abbey along with Sharon and Barbara and tried to deduce who killed Brother Adelmo. I recently purchased this game since we have always liked Clue and this is like Clue with a bunch of twists from Bruno Faidutti thrown in. Sharon was able to solve the crime and reveal the culprit...
Final Scores: Sharon 4, Cheryl 2, Barbara 1, and Troy 0.

This is a fun light game about penguins claiming fish along an ice floe. Barbara edged out Sharon with more fish 47 to 38.
