End of Game Statements

Kevin Wilson:  Tight one. I thought I might get it last time but when I took Bill’s cards all his cards were more expensive than I could spend to build! I was just hoping for one that was cheap.

Then, this last time I was surprised to see the Assassin available to me. My hope was to go early but I didn’t expect to get to go first. I was looking to assassinate Bill as I thought I could stay ahead of Christopher by going earlier than him. It was Bill I thought had the better shot to jump ahead. I almost assassinated the Scholar but thought he might take the Marshal and use that gold to take one of my buildings, reducing my count and upping his. But I guessed wrong or talked myself our of it as I almost did choose the Scholar with that large card draw and all his gold.  Regardless, it worked.

Thanks to Chris for running the game and to the rest for the play.

Bill Scharf:  Close game indeed. Theater seems a bit stronger than other purple cards, I had a lot of fun playing it! Congratulations to Kevin on his win, and thanks Chris for running it.

Chris Geggus:  Well played the rest of you and congrats to Kev. Just one of those games for me. Assassinated 3 times, twice had my character switched and even manged to pass over the assassin who promptly killed me. And I lost a building early on. After that I was dead meat, but always enjoy the randomness of the game. Next time guys I won't be so much of a patsy! Thanks to Chris H.

Christopher Hunt:  Thanks to Chris for runnimg the game.   Congratualtions to Kevin on his win.   Three within 2 points very close.  Theatre is game changing.
