Is it possible to play another game after your game with Jungleboy? I think I have until 7:30pm before I have to take off.

jungleboy 213, monwil 119

The final score of the game is not at all reflective of how close it was. I won the 60-point farm with the last tile of the game. Monwil also had a chance to win the northern farm (18 points) outright with her last tile but didn't draw what she needed, so if the outcome of the last two tiles had been different, the margin would have been fewer than 20 points. The game was pretty close throughout - I held a lead of 15-25 points for the second half of the game but as the main farm got bigger and bigger it became clear that if someone could win it outright, they would win the game. We both added meeple after meeple and I got lucky with some tiles that allowed me to connect my last two farmers.

Thanks for the game and good luck with your remaining games!

It was an intense game, and both of us play very fast. I was leading most if not all of the time. The fight over the farm was continuous and monwil managed to connect her last meeple to the farm with the last but one (or two?) tile. My last tile was the rfcf tile in the last row of the left most column. Monwil needed that to complete the nearby city. Had she drawn that one, she would win the game, as I placed a farmer on that farm to secured my win.

Thanks again for the game, monwil! Wish you better luck in the rest of the World Cup.

Monwil-thodekey 82-193

A fast game on both sides.  Monwil started the battle over the main farm with some meeples, I tried to stay close behind, while scoring some small cities and a long road with an inn and taking over with my big meeple the other inn road.  >:D  The other inns didn't get scored.
Monwil kept on placing some farmers but by doing so, together with some blocking from my side (sorry, Monwil), she became short of meeples.  I then took over the main farm...but I must say: the tiles were on my side this time.

Anyway, Monwil, I wish you the best in your games to come and a Merry Christmas!

I've not heard anything from him. Hopefully he'll have an update soon.

So what games are left outstanding that don't involve Sam? Is it just me vs. monwil and thodekey vs. ny1050220?
