Victory Points	13	20	-62

Congratulations to Dave Hooton on his victory!

Dave Hooton (Waterzoo Station): Don't tell him, but I suspect that the key to my victory is that Keith Marple decided not to play.

Last game, I decided to build up my income before doing other things. In this game, I decided to have a balance between increasing income and developing capabilities. However, the initial arrangement of my action cards and the assortment of Zoo cards in the display (heavy with Sponsor and Conservation cards) both encouraged and rewarded an emphasis on the development of capabilities.

Thanks, Chris, for running the game.

Christopher Hunt (Hunt's Menagerie): What a disaster. My second game. Thanks to Chris for his help and running the game.

Chris Geggus (GEGS): Pleased with my score (anything positive is a plus), but shows up the benefit of conservation over appeal. Unfortunately all my cards were appeal driven and little chance to grow on the conservation track. Simply saw Dave disappearing into the distance. Still like the game and always happy to play again. Thanks Chris H. and well done Dave.
