The result …
Tense it was. I suspect that a one pip difference on a die at the end would have given @hardco the win. But of course it is about the whole game. I had done most of my scoring with turns to go and @hardco had a whole heap of potential making up 40 points or so in the last few turns - played with style. @zen4one had a tough start but so very nearly managed to catch @jason1002 in another close finish.
Thanks to all and to @JammaTal for organising.
holy crab, what a worthy final!
congratulations to the winner and to runner-up @Hardco!
and so let me present the
Castles of Burgundy SP Championship Trophy of Glamour & Glory
to the new SP Champion @robthomasson
engraving of inscription took some time, but now it’s ready.
The scores don’t show how close it was for everyone. I’m pretty sure everyone was within 10 points up until the last few turns when @robthomasson pulled away. Well played!
Thanks for the game. Our map had many small areas and no large ones— so no one could score big points at the end for completing a large area. That threw me off a bit. (Also the dice)
It’s been more than six months. So, when is the NEXT tournament?
Those Castles are going to need some warmth when the weather changes!
I am in. I could use more practice in this game.
One of my favorite games–I’m always up to play more.
Would also join in.
I still don’t have all the rules down and I’m not certain about what some of the yellow tiles are calculating, but I’d likely play.
Also in
I’m in!
I’ll play!
I’ll play!
Put me in
Lol! I’ll ask around to see who wants to run the tourney. Believe it or not, I just learned the game. Have only played it once, am on my second game, but I like it a lot.
This should be easy to run. Looks like we have 10 right now:
@Zebracadabra
@kennfusion
@geigerm
@SpiceTheCat
@Mirefox
@Caradog
@Hardco
@js619
@JaneHatke
@doublebullout
If we could get two more, we could do 4 tables of 3, with the winner of each table in a championship 4 way table.
Maybe @JammaTal and @Codington want to join?
I’ll play!
i’m in.
reigning champion @robthomasson is away from home over the weekend.
he must have a chance to join.
i suggest to wait till at least 16 players will have joined.
@Dave, @whovian223, @feederofgoats, @Schlotzky, @zen4one, @irishdomer08 and @JHTaube might be interested too.
and i think we should play 3 rounds (like in the first two championships), not only 2.
16 players would be a perfect fit.
four 4P tables > first two players on each table go to two 4P semifinals > first two players in each semifinal go to 4P final table.
