Bill Scharf (Sultira): Thanks for running the game with your usual skill.

I didn’t think I would win this one, I just had a lot of money and the cards that allowed me to flip a lake and increase my metals production, and if I didn’t spend it now I’d lose a bunch of scoring opportunities, so I spent. It would be more impressive to say I planned this out ahead of time very carefully but I did not, I just did everything I could to maximize my points, without even bothering to see what everyone else had, yes, I was that convinced I was out of the running but I’d done my best.

Keith Marple (DefTechs): An outstanding win by Bill, after spending too much time developing my engine I tried to make a comeback, but to no avail. A really fun game, I like the Ares version a lot.

Thank you all for playing, and to Chris for running the game so expertly, these email games remain my favorite way to play.

Kevin Wilson (Hyperion Systems): I thought I got off to a pretty good start. Plants and more plants with a heat follow up. I was building up some steam but ran out of time. Not so much running out of time but others vaulting ahead, keeping me from getting all the tokens and heat to work. Once those parameters started to climb, those climbed quickly! Even the ocean tiles, once they started flipping went fast too. At least the gap was enough that even another turn and getting some of those benefits in play would have helped but not changed the outcome.

Congrats to Bill on a nice win. Thanks to Chris for running the game as smoothly as always and to the others for a fun play.

Christopher Hunt (UNMI): Good game. Its over so quick. Starts slow then whoosh. No engine just TR. Congratuations to Bill for his good win, can't win without awards and milestones. Thanks to Chris H for running the game so well.
