Almost a full house tonight, so an opportunity to play a couple of our favourite six player games - Peloponnes and Medici.
We had two early catastrophes which saw James lose his two buildings in about the third round, leaving him with nothing but a couple of sea tiles, but managed to recover somewhat later on. Andy also lost a couple of buildings during the game when he was short of the building materials required when his mortgages were cashed in. Kieron successfully (and perhaps a first for anyone?) managed to build in every round but fell foul of the final feeding where all but one of his population were wiped out. Orhan and David both played perfectly balanced games and achieved good scores, but with lots of prestige tiles and a last round build of tile that meant his population were worth 4x rather than 3x, Stuart took a clear first place. Final scores (prestige/population) were: Stuart 38/40, David 33/33, Orhan 24/24, James 20/21, Andy 17/18 and Kieron 32/3.
We then played a quick (60 minutes) game of Medici - another very clever Knizia creation. The scores were wide-ranging this time, with Kieron not having one of his better evenings, ending up with slightly fewer points than the initial position. Final scores: James 133, David 97, Orhan 79, Andy 76, Stuart 43, Kieron 22.
