Medici: the return

With six people attending, there were big points at stake for the leaderboard. A quick game of For Sale was rattled off while people arrived/got comfortable, which Andrew won. Alas, that was as far as his luck went for this evening.

Medici was chosen as tonight’s game, with some crazy talk of Robo Rally as a possible second game. Quentin was thrown in at the deep end, since this was his first time playing. Meanwhile, despite an early lead, Andrew faded into fifth place by the end, edged out by Will. Adam (who kept his hat on all evening) impressed everyone with his colour co-ordinated ship in round two, which bagged him lots of wheat, but it wasn’t enough to bridge the gap between the last four and the front two. In the end, Joe strode away, putting his success down to getting points for the largest boat twice.

Since there were six players, we thought that there’d be a lot more competition for goods to specialise in, but as it turned out, it was all quite evenly spread, with everyone getting bonus points for goods by the end of the game. Final scores: Joe 101, Sam 90, Adam 80, Will 78, Andrew 77, Quentin 75

We ended the night with Perudo, with everyone putting in a pound. Sam took the money in a close battle with Andrew, although getting two aces when the other guy was on his last die was a stroke of luck. Joe, however, beat the odds with a statistics-defying call of "calza", correctly guessing the number of fours when almost all the dice were still in play. An amzingly long shot that came off. If Evil Knievel played Perudo, that’s how he’d do it.
