Thank you! GG!

@kennfusion, nice win…well played

GG @irishdomer08

My strategy in both games was to go for button wins, and I ended both games with 41 buttons.

Hardco (31) over @feederofgoats (23)

I felt like I was behind for most of the game, with @feederofgoats going for a button heavy strategy. I had to takes some weaker pieces just to try to keep up with his income. Eventually, I got the opportunity to chain a few low cost/high value pieces to finally pull ahead in board position, and picked up the 7x7 shortly after that. By the end of the game @feederofgoats had double my income, but I still managed to squeak by with a narrow win.

Good game!

Well played @Hardco!

Feederofgoats over @geigerm 35 to 18.

Well played @geigerm!

Patchwork was much more fun than I remembered it to be. I had no idea who was winning in either of the games I played until the end (and couldn’t say for certain what I did wrong in my game against @Hardco or right in this one!) but the decisions each round were very satisfying. Glad we played it!

@doublebullout over @SpiceTheCat

@SpiceTheCat won the 7x7 bonus, and we both had successful runs with multiple turns in a row. GG!

@Codington over @doublebullout

I managed to overcome an early deficit and one total disaster (I tapped stitch instead of rotate!) and win by buttons. GG!

Everyone with a 1:1 record in our group :smile:

Yes, there are a few groups like that. I’ll be calculating tie breakers soon!

(BTW, I was out of town when our game ended so missed the chance to say GG! :slight_smile: )

GG! It came down to the last couple of turns. I probably should have passed on my last turn instead to save my buttons and make sure I had the last pick.

Good game to @JaneHatke

Patchwork is one of those games where I always think I’m doing better than I actually am.

Nice work everyone - that wraps up event #9 in the Decathlon in less than two weeks!

I’ll post some info on Wingspan in the next few days and then share the penultimate standings and final table match-ups.

(Spoiler alert: 1st place for the 2021 Decathlon could come down to the wire! :open_mouth: )
