First play of David's birthday gift to James. Eight Minute Empire claims to be learned in one minute and played in twenty (not sure where the eight comes from...). The small board has a large number of territories on a small number of continents. Players buy cards that allow then to add counters to the board, or move them across land and sea, and a couple of other options, in order to maximise the territories and continents they control. But the cards also represent resources, and sets of these earn additional points at the end of the game. Neat, good fun and does play in 20-30 minutes even with us! Final scores: James 12, Andy 9, David 8 and Stuart 7.
Plenty of time for a medium-length second game - Downfall of Pompeii. The first half of the game is placing people, and the second half is directing lava flows over your opponents - Nya Ha Ha! Final scores: Stuart 8, David 7, James 7 (3rd place since more people killed by lava!), and Andy 5.
