A lot of players and a lot of games for the first session of 2020. Lucas, Kieron and James started with Byzanz, a neat little card game with bidding and collections. In a promising sign of a good game, the final scores were really close: 32, 34 and 36 points.
Andy was then subbed in for a game of St Petersburg. Kieron went for buildings only leaving James and Andy to collect large numbers of nobles, with James winning with a set of nine.
After Adrian and Stuart arrived, we played James' new game Flash Point: Fire Rescue. This cooperative fire-fighting game had a great theme, looked the part and modelled the spread of fire really well. Perhaps we were lucky with some of the rolls but we rescued the target number of victims with ease, so we didn't really experience the peril. Next time,we'll play in heroic mode with more initial explosions and hazards to make it more of a challenge.
Next up was Ra. The usual shenanigans. Another win for Andy.
Lastly, Lucas, Kieron, Andy and James played 7 Wonders - yet another win for Andy.
