MrNumbers vs. Jungleboy
175:110

I didn't feel difference will be so big, jungleboy was doing everything right: fought for the farm, for the cities, but I was keeping to draw dragon tiles over and over again and it really helped to save my farmers intact

Two big cities was completed by me, but farm was equalized only 4 tiles before the end of the game. If very last tiles would come vice versa, I would steal farm all by myself and the difference would be even bigger. Still, well played, jungleboy! Good luck on remaining games!

This game was brutal. Early on I accidentally removed my own knight with the princess when I thought I was moving the fairy. And then it just went downhill from there and I was never able to catch up. Congratulations to MrNumbers on a comprehensive victory.

Congratulations all! It looks like there have been some great games already and I've really enjoyed reading all the write-ups.

Ouch. Still, if I was playing against someone who did that I'd think they'd done it out of supreme confidence and would be nervous about why they'd done it and what I was missing.

Halfling 168 - Chuck 133

Another loss for me...

Sorry Chuck. I'm sure that elusive win will come soon enough. Congratulations on your enthusiasm so far though!

No problem, since this is my first Championship, I don't feel bad about it. I see it as a process of learning. And the matches are great fun. :-)

Excellent. That's exactly as I've always intended them to be!

Thanks for the game last night Chuck. I didn't realise you were on a loosing streak too. After going behind 25 to 7 early on I thought I was going to be playing catch-up again but that wasn't the case.

For sure the biggest disparity was the monasteries. I had just about all of them but I was unable to score 2 thanks to an oversized reptile that scared off my meeples. I was out-meepled in the city top left when Chuck drew the CCCC tile and completed it. The portals all arrived early and were of no use. The dragon came late and caused the usual mayhem.

A very enjoyable end to the weekend. Hope we can play again soon.

Even though MrNumbers joined the empty city on his next turn and completed it soon after, I completed a cloister and some other things and took the lead once or twice with the scores in the 20s and 30s. So this stupid move didn't doom me. MrNumbers played the dragon well in the middle part of the game and maybe I should have done better in protecting some of my followers by surrounding them with more tiles. Very often I was either forced into eating my own followers with the dragon or moving the dragon to a spot where MrNumbers could remove my followers with his next dragon move.

I should be available during the day, not that sure on the evening.

jungleboy · « **Reply #41 on:** January 26, 2016, 04:59:28 AM »

I should be available tonight from 8pm CET in case Carcking, Chooselife, kettlefish, khalidqasrawi or Rich_The_Fish are available.

I just played a very close game with Chooselife. Score: jungleboy 158, Chooselife 152.

Chooselife had two chances to join another farmer to the main farm with one tile left, but he didn't draw the tile(s) he needed (FFFX or FRXF) so I escaped with a victory. This was a tight game throughout and could have gone either way at any point.

Another close call.

You had two frrr tiles that could had avoided my farm joining on the below left loop road but didn´t do it which gave me some hope on the final tiles drawing but no luck there.

I didn't know that farmer could join the main farm (I didn't notice the road tunnel tile). So actually, I didn't realise until the final scores that that farmer was attached to the main farm and that the farm was tied instead of me winning it.

So, basically, you deserved to win.
