Tigris & Euphrates

This was a learning game of the classic Reiner Knizia game of kingdom building. Dan, Dave and Keegan had never played before; Rob had only a few times. After stumbling through the rules explanation we gave it a try. -- Rob I enjoyed this game a lot...I didn't rate it too high as there were a lot of learning pains (not Rob's fault), but I'd like to play again. -- Dave



Winner: Dave

Scores: Dave: 12, Rob: 11, Keegan: 11, Dan: 7
Ratings: Dave: 7.5, Rob: 9, Keegan: 9, Dan: 6
Average Rating: 7.88

Settlers of Cataan

This is the now classic and still popular game of trading and building. This is Bob's favorite game and I see he's getting more people playing... -- Dave



Winner: Tom

Scores: Josh: 5, Bob: 6, Tom: 10
Ratings: Josh: 8, Bob: 9, Tom: 9
Average Rating: 8.67

Get the Goods

While waiting for Dave to show, Keegan, Dan and I played the Alan Moon set collecting game. With a similar mechanic as other games, you are trying to collect sets of goods (like yachts, oil, jewelery, art, ...). You score by having either the most or second most of each set of goods. -- Rob



Winner: Rob

Scores: Rob: 43, Keegan: 38, Dan: 33
Ratings: Rob: 8, Keegan: 8, Dan: 7
Average Rating: 7.67

TransAmerica3



Winner: Bob

Scores: Bob: 10, Josh: 9, Rob: 7, Tom: 2
Ratings: Bob: 9, Josh: 6.5, Rob: 7, Tom: 5
Average Rating: 6.88

Puerto Rico

Well, my winning streak for Puerto Rico ended abruptly as Rob managed to squeak by Dean. I think the 5-player Puerto Rico game provides more of a challenge as it feels like there is less you can do to better yourself, however Puerto is ALWAYS fun in my opinion. -- Dave



Winner: Rob

Scores: Rob: 52, Dean: 50, Keegan: 43, Dave: 44, Dan: 32
Ratings: Rob: 7, Dean: 8, Keegan: 8, Dave: 9, Dan: 8
Average Rating: 8.00

Bohnanza

This is a game of bean farming. All kinds of beans! Rob taught us his alternate bean names based on the pictures as he has the German edition with some not-so-easy to say German bean names. This is an interesting game where you plant, trade/donate and harvest. -- Dave



Winner: Rob

Scores: Rob: 16, Dean: 14, Dave: 14, Keith: 14
Ratings: Rob: 8, Dean: 5, Dave: 7.5, Keith: 8
Average Rating: 7.12
