Antike - 3 January

We played the war and civilisation game Antike. New player Russell played the knowledge game and spent coins on inventions rather than armies and joined Adrian (who played a similarly peaceful game until a lightning armada strike on one of David's temples) on the podium with 7 points. James managed to scrape 14 sea territories in the last round but couldn't destroy one of Andy's temples to take him beyond 6 points. David's empire left lots of temples and 5 points. Kieron and Andy spent the game accummulating forces for a huge battle that never happened, after Kieron attacked one of Andy's cities early on in the game, and they both finished on 2.

Hello, a disappointing start for kps and 'king' who engaged in an escalation war to allow the others to cruise ahead. Well done to Adrian and new player Russell for winning our first game of the new year, Antike

And what a victory - 7 cards apiece both resulting from completely unjustifiable backstabbing attacks on Deej. Although victory was sweet, seeing Kieron self-destruct through his naked aggression towards Andy was sweeter... My advice is to sit next to Stu next time...

Very annoying that I gave the victory to both the winners by allowing easy access to temples. Must remember that if you go the temple building route you need enough armies to protect them.

Good game though as always

Oh and James - could you put the game name in the blog title so that we can find our way back to our greatest victories easily :-)

Have we decided on the scoring system for this year? I think it was looking like 10, 6, 4, 2, 0 but with ties absorbing equal shares of the points (eg joint first equals 8 points each). Agree?

I guess there are Pros and Cons of any system but I'm happy to go with that one. I will of course still be counting number of outright wins... ;-)
