League Updated to 10 August

Filed under: League Commentary — Stuart @ 10:45 am

Steve S is still at it, after winning the cup in the 2008-09 season and with Mark being the current holder he wants to win back the cup and re-house it in it’s rightful place on his mantle piece where the gap has never been properly filled.  However, Jerry is the new kid on the block and after gaining 5 points on Steve since the end of June he should soon be able to smell his fear (I’ll bring some wet wipes for Steve’s seat in the next session). Mark has dropped further back loosing 5 points on Steve over the period, perhaps he doesn’t want to retain the cup (does it clash with his decor?).

The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style

Hello from exactly a month from now! Doc Brown here, although I think I’ve only played (unsuccessfully) Chrononauts once, so I’ve encouraged those Looney Lab fellows to create this clever twist features scenes from the trilogy of Back to the Future movies.

League Updated to the End June

Filed under: League Commentary — Stuart @ 8:55 pm

Steve S is making an early claim for the coveted Bernard Cup and has opened a 13 point lead over Mark and Jerry. Remember the old saying ‘what goes up must come down’ and with Jerry and current cup holder Mark both prowling in the wings, I’m sure that this is going to become close over the coming months.

For now though, all hail Steve S the king the winner of the 1st quarter of the year. Lets see if he can keep his cool over Summer and maintain his lead.

How are games scored?

Filed under: Board Games Blog — Stuart @ 10:00 pm

Now I know there are lots of questions around how the games are scored and Scott our league scorer and referee has provided the following guide as to whether the games we play are classed as ‘Big’ or ‘Small’. So here goes:

Large: HURRY CUP, DUNGEON QUEST, MARAKESH, ESCAPE FROM ATLANTIS, SCOTLAND YARD, SABOTUER, GUILOTINE, ADVENTURERS, DOMINION, YEAR OF THE DRAGON, FORMULA D,ADASTRA, TRI 3D, AVE CAESAR, INCAN GOLD, RACE FOR THE GALAXY, PUERTO RICO, WORLD CUP 1966, PANDEMIC, GRANADA.

Small: TRADING ROUTES, HEIMRICH & CO, DAVID & GOLIATH, BIG BLOKUS

Now the points scored are:

Large Game: Winner 5pts; 2nd 4pts; 3rd 3pts; 4th 2pts; Others 1pt

Small Game: Winner 3pts; Others 1pt

If the game is longer than 2 hours all points are doubled.

Scott – please comment if any of this is wrong!
