Oltre Mare

Don and I had played this game before but it was new to the others.  

Bob won this game having collected lost of prestige tokens and port tokens.  RJ did not collect a single port token during the entire game.  

 Final Scores: Mike - 52, Bob - 59, RJ - 44, Karl - 42, Don - 34

 

Tower of Babel

Players: Mike, Bob, Karl and Don

This is becoming one of  my favorite games.  It is easy to teach is just the right length.  There is a strategy to  Tower of Babel that first timers may not get until near the end of the game.  I used this to my advantage for a big win.  Near the end of the game I gave Karl a hard choice.  He could settle for second place and give me a larger lead or make it a closer game putting Don in second place and take third for himself.    In the end he maximized his points and gave me a larger lead.

Final scores: Mike - 87, Bob - 52, Karl - 68, Don - 65

Take it Easy

Players: Brenda, Jane, Ann, Dorie, Hilda and Scott

Our group is pulling this game out every game session.  It is simple, fast and plays six.

My teenage son Michael and his friends played some games in our other game room.  Michael reports Jeremy won Formula Mini De and Jeremy, Jonathan,  Jeffrey and he won Shadows Over Camelot.
