Throughout the game, I was hampered by low income. Fortunately, the EPA offices came out at the right times and kept me afloat.

Bill Scharf (Gelbstadt):  I’m getting better at this, one day, perhaps in the far future, I won’t be last!

Andy York (Austin City Limits):  Great win Dave, and Bill was right on my heels (maybe next time?). Fun game!, thanks for running it Chris.
