While we were waiting for others to turn up, Andrew and I kicked off a game of Master's Gallery. Anne and both Johns joined in. It was John R's first game. I should have played my last green card in the third round when it would have been worth plenty of points. Andrew seems to be good at this game.

This time we played the German side and ended up with 2 "no demand" tiles. It was the first game for Anne. I started in the French corner while the others started near Berlin. This was a mistake as it pays to have at least one other person in your area. We were very short of resouces through out the game. If anyone built a coal mine or iron works, it was emptied by the next two players. I still haven't "got" this game and ended up over building quite a lot of my stuff, while Anne used my ports leaving me with unflipped cotton mills. Unlike Brass, unflipped tiles still score points they just don't give you money.
It was Anne's first game. And she rightly complained about a lot of down time. It doesn't seem as easy to plan ahead as it does in Brass. Or may be we are just not used to it.

We taught Lance this nasty little, no luck, race game and we probably shouldn't have as he gave us a right royal thrashing!
