In addition to the games listed below, Jill, Annie, Sam, and Karla also played a game of Coloretto and a (somewhat...variant) game of Ra. I'm not sure how those turned out though Sam confessed that he was pummeled in Coloretto and Ra by Annie. I saw the scores for Coloretto after 2 rounds and they were ridiculously high - I think Sam was low with 49 points.

Notes: Dan and Annie were way in last place, and Sam and Mike were almost about to win, but Dan rolled like a fiend to grab the come from behind victory. Although Jill and Karla were in last, they were only one notch away in two numbers.

Notes: This was everyone's second or third time playing. Everyone collected a bunch of cards, and we established a good house rule. The Boss of the deal must count to three before announcing the completion of the deal. This rule made the confusion at least a bit more orderly.

Notes: Yup, three times! All three games were very tight, close affairs. Mike won two thanks to some luck and some well-timed bidding. Once he came from down 4-2 versus Lee to win the duel, and another time down 4-3 versus Dan.

Notes: Dan & Annie won thanks to Annie's controversial 4th sugar selection and tons of VPs garnered by hogging the size 8 ship with sugar. The order helped them out: Sam-Lee-Mark-Dan/Annie-Mike. Lee and Mark consistently took the craftsman (Lee especially, since he could always ship a big crop with his wharf), and Dan & Annie were always able to amass big VP chunks. Mike's building strategy gave Dan & Annie a final run, but he had too few shipping VPs.
