A hard core of 4 gamers this week - James, Orhan and Andy at Adrian's ('assisted' by various children throughout the evening). We dug out an old favourite, Tigris & Euphrates, that Andy and Orhan had never played. James and I suspected that we hadn't played this one for a good number of years. This is a classic Knizia tile placement game where victory points are acquired by extending one's kingdom and most notably by constructing and then owning monuments. James' tactics of building up a strong kingdom and creaming everyone in a series of well chosen fights saw him to a clear victory, with Orhan and Andy equal second, and Adrian last. I've mislaid the paper with the scores but James accrued a large margin over us, something like James 13, Orhan and Andy 7, Adrian 6.
We then got Gold Diggers out for a rapid 3 rounds of another Knizia winner. Despite Andy getting help from Cottie, James managed to pull off a coup in round 2 (12 points solo on one claim) to allow him to bag a second victory of the evening. All good fun.
