Just lay the damn tile!

Good luck! I've sent you both a private message regarding hosting.

I'm significantly later home from work than I thought I would be - but I think I'm ready to get whooped.

Got a whooping from Rosco.  1 trapped  (+1 probably trapped) meeple and trapped builder in the first 10 moves.  The next 80 moves were a white wash after that :/




At least the only way is up; or stay where I am.

It was an enjoyable game though. 

Would anyone else be free for our match now?

jungleboy and I also had a great game. JB played very well (well enough to beat me anyway) and deserved the win. Some parts of the game were a little frustrating for me but this was purely down to the way JB expertly built his cities. I could never find a way in to them, but even if I managed to get a single meeple in he always seemed to have at least two to claim the majority. This said, I didn't seem to find many opportunities to close his cities either and as such he absolutely thrashed me on trade tokens and took 30 bonus points against my 0.  >:(

Well played JB!  :(y) Looking forward to playing Rosco tomorrow evening and will probably be free on Saturday/ Sunday evening too for anyone else?

I felt that this was a closer game than Dan did. He often has a way of pulling out some tricks at the end (though maybe only with bridges and phantoms!) so I never really thought I was safe until there were a couple of tiles left. It's true that I won the two biggest cities and managed to keep Dan out of them, but in the end the city points were basically even so Dan did a good job of completing smaller cities. With about 15 tiles left, I was leading by 18 points and chose to close a city that Dan controlled (he had been bold and lucky in connecting one of my followers to it and then, using his builder, building on this move to potentially add a second follower of his own). This gave him the lead which he held for the rest of the game but it gave me three trade goods and that helped me win them all outright.

Another key part of this game was that no dominant farm emerged, with the largest one containing only five cities. This meant that we both sought to place a single farmer in several different farms rather than trying to add three or four to one big farm as is often the case. Dan was first into a couple of these farms but I managed to glom onto both of them with the help of some fortunate tile draws. So we ended up sharing the points for three different farms but I won a fourth farm outright for 12 points which was most of the difference in the final scoring. This was the first farmer I played and the farm eventually became completely enclosed, meaning that Dan couldn't try to add a farmer of his own.

So in the end the trade goods, the ability to keep Dan out of the two largest cities, and the fourth farm were the keys to victory. Dan easily beat me 41-15 in roads so that's something I should pay more attention to in the future. 41 points on roads in a game without inns seems like a lot.

I am NZDT (UTC +13).
I need to sit down and look at the timezones, but have a week off work in the first weeke of Feb. Can definitely finish games then if I have not played them prior.
Other times I could play are 0630-0730 NZDT and 1730-2300 NZDT. I tend to be tied up most weekends unfortuneatly.

Your availability is not too bad for the European-based players - well, at least it's not bad for me. I think we can play during the week next week but I'll get back to you when my schedule becomes clearer.
