A fantastic game with kettlefish this evening, it took almost 2 hours!

The game started very cramped and I got very lucky with all the City Caps.

I also attempted to glom onto a large city kettlefish was winning. She first used the princess, but I got my 1/2 back. Then I used a princess to take her half and then I used the princess-splitter CCcF to complete that 1/2 of the city. Then kettlefish used another princess to steal my half from under me!

I was edging ahead with points, but kettlefish was always close behind. It was going to come down to a large farm. Only one RRFF remained, which we both needed to join the farm and take the majority after the Dragon had eaten Kettlefish's farmer.

Just before the end of the game kettlefish laid the Volcano-FRFR tile next to my farmer. I had to move the dragon but decided to attempt to glom onto the farm underneath kettlefish with the Dragon-FRFR. I moved the dragon away from my farmer. but Kettlefish got the tile she needed to give her the lead. But on my penultimate tile I drew the CRFR tile to glom my last attempt onto the main farm. This secured the 24 points I needed for Victory!

Decar: 194 v Kettlefish: 178

A very close game, thank you so much for playing this evening!

I lost 159 - 149 to JMA03 last night.

A very enjoyable game that could have gone either way. I used the Dragon to scare off as many red farmers and monks as I could but I just couldn't get the knight in the big city. However, 2 princesses did lure my yellow knights away.

I had great tiles and still lost. Cest la vie.

D5 - Decar / kettlefish
Yes the game play was great. I had not much luck with cities even in the first half of the game. I build many roads. We both build only one cloister. The magic portals - hmm I think I've got 2 or 3 tiles - but each time there was no feature to go to the portal for me.
The Princess did her job sometimes for Decar and sometimes for me, but Decar got more of the Princess tiles an used them also to expand his cities. The dragon ate my 2nd meeple on the big farm were I had a long time during the game the mayority - and then the fight for this farm starts. We both got the mayority of this farm, but I didn't have enough other points - that means - Decar won the game almost at the end of the game with one of the very last tiles.
Thanks for the game Decar.

Second stage of P&D League started 2 weeks ago, and 9 players have played zero games so far...

At about the same time last year, we were starting the final stage of the 2nd league...

Official apologies from myself: I have upcoming final exams next Tuesday and Wednesday. So hopefully I'll be available from Wednesday afternoon!

fun game , which despite having a margin of 40 points for much of the game halfling managed to keep the main farm.
the last 5 tiles decided the game.

Well done to Decar and jma03 on your recent wins!

It would be good to see a few more games taking place if people are still interested. If you're struggling to get hold of your opponent, please send a PM and include me too so I know what's happening.

@Chuck: good luck with the exams!

@Halfling and JT Atomico: if you guys haven't played your game before next Saturday then maybe you could play it in Thirsty Meeples?

To give you an update... The final game for group 1 is coming! But little patience is required, we should play it as soon as Sunday. MrNumbers is busy till then.

Halfling · « **Reply #68 on:** April 20, 2016, 12:23:05 PM »

I'm tempted to play on Saturday week, but happy to play earlier.

@rfielder It's probably a bit of a long shot, but I am available now for a short while should you be online and available to start within the next hour. I'll send you another PM with my availability for the next few days.

Excellent. Good luck to both great players!

PS - Are you both certain about the time as there was some confusion last time... $:-\$

All decisive game in D1 group just happened.
MrNumbers vs. Merlin_89
143:150

Despite of the loss I have enough PD to become a P&D League winner!
Great and very nervous game it was! I think crucial tile of the game was cfrr with portal on the north. With this tile I took off 6 points from Merlin_89 and took the road with 9 points, which I completed in the next turn with the fairy.
