Yesterday, after our game of Twilight
Imperium, Amanda, The Boy, and myself sat down to play a couple games
of 7
Wonders (with Leaders).
(The Girl was over at Auntie Margies to do some knitting and then went over to my folks for a sleepover.)
At the end of the first game
Amanda was getting her pout on as she felt she had done horribly – She’d done
some science, but felt she hadn’t really done enough of any one thing to have
won. Well… she didn’t win… by a point…
I’d had two leaders that dealt
with blue cards (civic structures) – one gave me and exptra victory point for
each blue card and another allowed me to place one with one less resource available
(which, in the end, only helped me place two cards – the rest I got because
they were free or I had a previous card that allowed me to place it without
paying).
I thought The Boy was going to
crush it with all the green (Science!) cards he grabbed.
In the end I won (by one point)
and I was only able to do so because on the very last round of the 3rd age I placed
a military card – in a game where NO ONE had gone for ANY military – which gained
me 10 points (and lost them one each). I ended up with 67 points, Amanda 66 and
The Boy somehow trailed behind at 48?!
In the second game I was excited
because I got to play Wil.
I ended up with a mish-mash of stuff that seemed like none were giving me a LOT
of points. Amanda also felt she hadn’t done very well. When we totaled it up we
hadn’t done quite as well as the previous game – we both scored 57 points – and
The Boys scored 56!? Can you get a closer game? (I guess if it’d been a three
way tie that would have been closer).
During the leader selection phase
at the beginning of the game I’d passed on Plato and then kicked myself when
Amanda passed me Justinian – as they both gain victory points for similar
things (collecting sets of different cards). I ended up passing on Justinian
and hoped The Boy didn’t end up with both. He did and I thought he was going to
crush us as he collected up sets of stuff, but it didn’t do so well as collecting
sets of sciencey things, as I was trying to do, or Military victories, as
Amanda was going.
This was fun, and a bit different as the last few games I've played of seven wonders have been bigger 5-6-7 player games. I think I like the bigger games better, but this was still a lot of fun.
