Monwil and I attended the third round of Carcassonne competition last night at Snakes and Lattes College.
There were 12 players. We played three games of four people. A very friendly group of players!
At the end, I came in fifth place. Only the top six were announced, and monwil did not make that cut. This was surprising, since she is usually a better player than I am.
My standings were:
First game - Won
Second game - fourth
Third game - second
monwil's standings were:
First game - third
Second game - third
Third game - third
She is nothing if not consistent....
The top two players then played a best 2 out of 3 series to see who the overall champion was. The winner moves on to the Canadian national championship on Sunday August 28, also at Snakes and Lattes.
It took a long time to get there, driving to a subway station, taking one subway down, transferring to another subway, then a street car, then a 1/2 block walk. Makes for a rather late work night. However, we had a great time, got to meet some great people, saw some interesting strategies, played some fun games, and spread the word about JCZ and Carcassonne Central.
