Session Report: August 22 2007 - Who needs sleep anyway?

Greetings gamers!

PowerGrid: Brian, Beth, Dana, Collin, Pete - Winner Brian


Marathon session lasting until midnight! Well, it's been a while, and we had a slow start as Dana's BSW freaked, and sailing stragglers got in.

Off to Powergrid! It's a thinking person's game, as is. You need to calculate out your expenses. Buy your plants, buy your pipes, buy your resources. Spend Spend! Think Think Think!

Pete pinned Dana in the corner at the end of phase 1, but it only allowed him to save cash for nice plant builds in a later turn.

Brian got the machine rolling, and was looking great coming into endgame.

Pete made a brilliant move, and bought two oil, when he needed three, leaving most of his plants watching the windmills go round and round. What a putz. That's what he gets for playing the uke between turns.


Game ends at Brian pulling off a pretty commanding win. Dana was very close on his heels, however.

-- If ebri7 hadn't gotten 16 points, then the game wouldn't have ended so masterfully victoriously. (118:23 min.)
kayakpete: 11 Städte, ebri7: 16 Städte, magennis: 14 Städte, IceFire2112: 11 Städte, fineltour: 14 Städte,

See ya NEXT WEEK!

Session Report: August 8 2007: Heather and Brian sittin in a tree, T-O-N-G-I-A-K-I.

Whilst Pete played boardgames in the campground, the VBGGers carried on with normal operations. Here's the report from Collin -

The diehard faithful VBGGers gathered for yet another adventure on
BrettSpielWelt. Brian taught Karen how to play Lost Cities. It is a
two player card game with stackable cards like solitaire that has
suits of five colors.

After that, Brian, Heather (Brian's wife - a newbie to our game night), Karen, and Beth played a long game (63:59)of Tongiaki. Despite weird interface obstacles, Beth was able to pull out a victory with 26 points. There were several Kings and Queens on various islands making navigation difficult. Gentle cruise ship treatment of others turned into pirate vengeance towards the end of the game. Heather ran out of ships (not seen that before) and had to use ships on her other existing islands. Heather has proven to be a worthy opponent. Welcome aboard!
