Game is over. I once again had the luck of a tight win, thanks to tradegoods and farming.

I must say, I was very uncertain, when I placed the barn. At that time, I had a farmer with pig in the area, but it was just with two finished cities, so he scored only 8 points. It turned out to be the right decision, because Dan and Robert could not find a place for their barn during the entire game, so one of them sure would have forestalled me otherwise. Rob did a great block with the tile over my 15 point farmer, which was supposed to be connected to my barn, so in the end my barn farm did not grow as big, as I at first figured out, it should, but still big enough.

A great game indeed! One more trade token of any kind would have won it for me considering how close the scores were (6 points between 1st and 3rd, with me in the middle)! Robert and Hounk played brilliantly though, and used their builders very effectively. With regards to my barn, I set up a great opportunity to place it but then failed to draw the required rrxx tile in about a dozen turns until Hounk placed a tile where I needed to and I lost my chance...

You got even on wheat with your last tile, though.

You mean the cloister with 4 roads? If so, I put it there, to make your farm small, but not considering the barn. Of course my last tile, the rfrf on which I placed my 9 point (+1 from cloister) farmer on, would have been great for both of you to place a barn next to Roberts 2 cloisters. Luckily, I draw it.

Yeah that's the one. I wasn't sure if you'd done it on purpose or not but it would have made a huge difference to me if I'd got there first! Just being able to reuse my pig on another farm would have been nice!

I think my last tile joined my mayor to Robert's city and he closed it with his next tile which won him the wheat token he ended up with (not that this made much of a difference though as you and I both already had two each). This won him a bonus turn as his builder was also in the city he closed and this was the last tile of the game...

Ah, OK. I thought, it was your builder in the city up there.

Very close game! Congratulations, Hounk! Wish I were with you, guys! But this is a little bit too late for me (at least, in workdays).

Judging by the number of people who seem to be free to play their league matches at the weekend, I wonder if it would be worth having another regular weekly game, perhaps on a Sunday evening at around 9pm CET?

I think this is a good idea. Actually I prefer it to the Thursday slot in general, because I like to try to be more productive on weeknights but I don't have the same hope for a Sunday night.

Excellent. I guess once regular timeslots have been established, anyone who wants to play can just meet in the chat room beforehand and we can split off into groups, depending on how many of us there are, and get a few games going.

Unfortunately this Sunday, I might not be able to take part. It is not certain yet, but I am sure, you will have a good time anyway.

This Sunday is Superbowl. May need to start a week later....

Hounk · « **Reply #207 on:** February 01, 2015, 07:54:49 AM »

Contradicting to what I stated earlier, I am probably able to take part this evening at 9 CET.

I'm in too. Expansions? Maybe we should give Traders and Builders a rest for a while. I vote for Inns and Cathedrals and Cathars. Anyone else want to add/suggest anything?
