With four players comes a lot of good gaming options. Our group was slow off the start in picking a game. So when John suggested E & T, Adam latched on like a bulldog. This was a slower game with not many battles. Fortunately, I was able to win most of them. By green leader was kicked out in an internal conflict. Adam was speeding the game’s end up by discarding tiles. He was looking for tiles to support his goals. Too bad he didn’t find any. The game ended with some tight scoring. Two people were tied for first and two people for second. It came down to second and third resources. And I had more than Doug for the win.
John also suggested this game. I think that it was the first time where we played with all of the correct rules. In the beginning, I was trying to get one of each kind of Patron. And I was placing men in the Museum so that I would score at least two for each Patron. John jumped on the 5 spot for Sir Brown. Towards the end of the game, I switched strategies and went for a lot of Lady Violets. I secured 4 of them and got Doug to give me another one when he went into the Museum. This was enough for the win.
Doug left, so we were down to three. Out came San Juan and Adam latched onto this one to avoid playing any fluff-like game. I didn’t do so well in this game. My special building were not working so well for me. And when I was finally able to build the big Triumphal arch, I was not able to draw all three monuments.
Minibridge
We played a couple of hands of minibridge to finish out the night. John was getting the luck of the draw and was having most of the card points. Phear my 8 points!
