We began with For Sale, which was new to Paul. Sam talked him through the rules and did a great job, as evidenced by the result.

Paul suggested a second go, now he knew what was going on, but was somewhat less fortune. There's a moral in here somewhere.

Next we played Carcassone, which has had a bit of a revival in these online times. I went big on roads and farmers (and I managed to isolate one of Sam’s farmers), while Paul hit the jackpot on roads, farms and cities.

Then we played Incan Gold. Sam started off light on his toes as usual, but then stayed in just as one of the temples paid out big.

In Perudo, Chris and I were out quicksticks. Paul hung on to his five dice longer than anyone else and then as he and Sam faced off man to man, he had the good fortune of eight aces in a row to finish Sam off.

Sam was eyeing the clock, hankering for rest, but assured us he was fine for one more short one. We fired up good old 7 Wonders. Paul had his usual slow start as he tried to remember the rules, but it wasn’t long before we were firing on all cylinders. I must say, I was surprised to come last since I thought I’d done okay.

Lastly, with Sam off to bed, we ended on Stone Age. It took us to eleven at night in mostly total silence. Paul’s space age lighting making it look like he was dialling in from the Nostromo. At least my candle light was slightly more thematic. I was too slow, however, in picking up multiplier cards and after Chris nabbed a few axe cards, I switched focus to huts. Too late to mount any real challenge, though. Paul’s large tribe got him a bumper score despite having next to no artefacts in his collection.

And so we were done. Thanks guys, I needed that.
