Great. Let's see, if JB joins, too. He is online right now. And what about you, kettlefish?

Sorry not this time - perhaps the next week I will play. But I like to look at the game if possible.

I would like to play. The earlier the better for me. Anyone else?

Hounk - where are your?
Jungleboy and Chooselife are waiting for you in the chatroom.

Hi Jére - they are playing now:
MrNumbers, Hounk, jungleboy, Chooselife

Jéré · « **Reply #382 on:** April 23, 2015, 12:17:17 PM »

Ok too bad. I will skip this week. Thanks for letting me know!

So this is how it ended

Hounk · « **Reply #384 on:** April 23, 2015, 01:52:59 PM »

First WOG I won with more then three points difference. At least of the games with more then two players.

I think my chat broke down, by the way.

I'm not sure why but I didn't like this game much. I fell way behind early and I just didn't seem to draw any interesting tiles. I eventually got my barn onto the main farm which gave my score some respectability but I never had a chance to win the game. I also made quite a few mistakes, including not taking advantage of a magic portal to get onto a German Monastery and placing a tile in a way that worked against me when claiming a city (which MrNumbers capitalised on). Well done to Hounk who basically led the game from beginning to end.

Didn't like this game either... never had a chance to participate!

I will echo jungleboy's opinion: this game wasn't one of the best ones. I never had a chance to place a barn, or I rather would say - when I had spotted a chance to do it, someone was just one turn faster. That is why I didn't join the barn party. And most part of the game I haven't got any cccx tile to join jungleboy's city, as a result in the end he cut me off with an Abbey. I don't see any serious mistakes (my own) in this game, just extremely bad luck

Chooselife · « **Reply #388 on:** April 24, 2015, 01:28:30 AM »

I did some mistakes on the beginning but the early placement of the barn got some points.
P&D costed me some cities and a cloister but being able to join in Mr. Numbers city close to the end, a pity we didn't closed it, helped raising the final score closer to Hounk who did a very consistent game from the start.

Well, to do JB some justice, the abbot placement rules is not correct in JCZ. According to CAR, he could have placed his flier and his phantom via portal as an abbot on two of the GMs, even though they were finished as "cloisters". (And by the way, my plan, to lead a wagon via road into a GM to use it as abbot would have been valid as well. The GM was not finished for monks, and the program let me only place it as monk.) So with that, it would not have changed the line up, but JB would have get aprox. 40 points more and much closer to Chooselife.

A move, I really enjoyed in this game was, when I placed the six point farmer below and to the left, next to the four road cloister. At this point, if I would have got a corner road first, I could have join the barn farm, cutting a farmer of JB off for no points. The way it turned out, MrNumbers got it first, and cut me off. But the field was promising, as it was for two or maybe even three cities, I had enough meeples to spend, and I also wanted this two tiles gap for my GM to be closed. So, it was really a win-win placement, although I would have of course favored the other option.
