GNN 2005.02 Session Report

From GTF

Game Night North v2005.02

May 11th, 2005
Host: DanD
Guests: DaveF, JeffL, Troy and GeorgeP

We had a nice chat while deciding what to play with five and ordering pizza from Papa Johns. DanD had great chip and soda options. DaveF kindly brought some munchies too.

Puerto Rico

DanD was a great host and we were able to make use of our very own gaming nook. I'm sure Dan and his wife Kelly had that custom built for that very puropse. With five, we played Puerto Rico.

JeffL finished first with a very impressive score of 57 by early on establishing the Hacienda/Hospice combo. DanD was second with 46 and the Office/Small Market combo, DaveF was third with ~33, GeorgeP was fourth with ~32 and Troy was fifth with ~31.

The large purple buildings are critical as JeffL and DanD were the only ones to garner them and it shows in the scores. According to JeffL, some of us "played better than our ability". That was the jab for doing an "oh wait" move of which he was guilty himself.

DaveF's wife is expecting their fourth child any day now so we were pleased he was able to cut some sort of deal and join us. It's too bad he'll be on KP duty for the next two years. Ah well, a man needs to have his priorities.
