Tonight we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to start playing a two-part Twilight Imperium<\/em> game using the expansions. Because of this, I thought I should get last week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s game in here for the record books.<\/p>\n

Once again we tried out Egizia<\/em>. We liked the game the first time we played it. But now with one game under our belts, we wanted to try out our new strategies. Whatever strategy Mike was using, it was working. Throughout the entire game he had a very solid building force with lots of food, stone, and builders. We all we pretty sure he was going to win; all except Ben. Ben held out hope that he might pull off a victory. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not to say Owen and I were doing horrible in the game\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwe weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. We just didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem to have the resources the other two guys had accumulated. The game ended in a titanic struggle for either Mike or Ben to win it all. After numerous recounts, lawsuits, and general unrest, Ben was declared the winner by one point. Ben had 138 points, while Mike had 137 points. I ended up with a respectable 129 points, with Owen one point behind me at 128.<\/p>\n

Egizia<\/em> is a fun game that plays quickly. Even for a bunch of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Turn Angst\u00e2\u20ac\u009d players like my group.<\/p>\n

We still had time for a short game and chose Kachina<\/em>. Kachina<\/em> is one of Mike\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s favorite games and the rest of us like it too. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s another game where \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Turn Angst\u00e2\u20ac\u009d can get you as you struggle to get the most points out of every play. Mike seems uncanny in his ability to score big points no one else sees.<\/p>\n

For a while Mike and I were neck and neck, with Mike always taking the lead. I feel behind towards the end of the game and Ben replaced me as Mike\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s main contender. Owen was just struggling to stay up with us for most of the game. But as usual, Owen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s big point surge came near the end of the game.<\/p>\n

Mike did win with 70 points. Ben had 65 points. Owen had a surprising 64 points and I came in fourth (not last) with 59 points.<\/p>\n
