Stately Play Decathlon 2022!

Table 4 is nearing the final round. Should finish in the next day or so. It’s very tight and anyone’s game at this point.

Good game.

Table 4 is done. Scoring is so hard to monitor during the game. I was certain I was fighting with @JaneHatke for 2nd, so I spent nearly the whole 8th round playing Intrigue cards purely for sabotage effect.

Good game all! Congrats to our winner!

Just an update since we are down to only Table 1 … we just finished Round 6 of 8 and it is a close contest as expected!

For the rest of you, don’t forget Concordia is next (and last!) so now is a good time to get the app and play some practice turns/games if you haven’t already.

An excellent game with a nail-biting finish - thanks and kudos to @feederofgoats and @Schlotzky!

As often seems to be the case with Skullport, the penalties made the difference - and I was able to grab the quest that lets you return an extra skull each time. GG!

Great game! I think this one is much more satisfying than the sum of its relatively simple parts would suggest.

Sorry I played a bit slow compared to the rest of you.

Excellent game, I agree I always end up enjoying myself more than I think I’m going to going in with this one.

Well, folks, we made it - again! Here comes the final game of the (ahem) 2022 Decathlon!

And we are going out on what I’m sure will be a high note - a new game to the Decathlon which has an excellent BGG rating of 8.1 and ranks #21 amongst all games (#19 in Strategy!) - Concordia!

There are a ton of maps and features available as DLC with this one, but from the base game I would recommend the Italy map (a little tighter for a 3P) or if you have the Salsa expansion (my first choice) then pick the Hispania map and throw in Salt for more of a challenge!

Sort out those details with your table and then the first player at each table will please start a Private game with no time limit and max players 3. Send a DM to your table partners with the password for the game.

The winner will please post a screenshot of the final scores and then I will tabulate the final standings for what has been another great event!

Here are the penultimate standings and table groups - I’ve included scores and number of wins since we are down to the wire and I figured some folks will be interested… (reminder: the tie breaks for the final rankings will be number of wins followed by head-to-head record if necessary.)

Happy gaming!

I love the standings.

@feederofgoats and I need to make sure @Codington comes in last for one of us to tie for the lead.

If @Schlotzky or @irishdomer08 win their game, they are likely to tie for 2nd place.

And wins from @Hardco, @Baelnor, @Notsew12345 and @doublebullout can all still tie for 3rd place I think?

I will spend some time in the next few days looking at the tie breakers for obvious reasons! :stuck_out_tongue:

In case the tie breakers include shameless flattery, let me just say that @Codington has been a most excellent and marvelously effective tourney master. Incredibly good looking, too, I’d wager. :grin:

@kennfusion - ok, you prompted me to finally update all the key info in the rankings sheet

Key follow-ups to your comments/questions, focusing on just the “medal” standings (top 3) :

  1. If Table 1 ends up @kennfusion beats @feederofgoats beats @Codington
  1. If Table 1 ends up @feederofgoats beats @kennfusion beats @Codington
  1. If @Codington wins Table 1
  • @Codington wins the Decathlon on points
  • If @Schlotzky or @irishdomer08 win Table 2, they beat out 2nd place at Table 1 for Silver in the Decathlon (more wins)
  • If @Hardco wins Table 2, there’s a possible log jam for Bronze
  1. If @Codington places 2nd at Table 1
  • @Codington wins the Decathlon on points
  • Winner of Table 1 takes Silver
  • Winner of Table 2 can outright take Bronze or win the tie break (getting too complicated to lay this out :wink: )

That’s about all I have the brain power for at the moment except to say in the “Most likely to want revenge” category, @whovian223 has been bested by @SpiceTheCat the most of any head-to-head match up. :stuck_out_tongue:
