Catan: Seafarers Recap

Players: Dan, Kevin, Lori, Scott

Dan started us off by giving a rules refresh and we decided to play scenerio 1. The wood hexes were on really bad numbers in this game. Wood hexes had the numbers 2,4,11,12 and one island was a 5 so everyone was always hurting for wood in the early game. Dan jumped to an early lead by getting to the Gold island that had the nine. By the mid game Dan had had the robber on the gold island so much he was only able to get a resource of his choice 1 or 2 times. At roughly the mid game it was clear that Lori was in the lead, Dan was next and Scott & Kevin were way behind.

After the mid game things got a little different. Lori was able to secure 2 Cities on a Wheat 10 and an Ore 6, and she had a 3:1 port and 2:1 Wheat port. She was clearly running away with the game. Kevin and Scott finally started getting some traction and moving forward with building, Kevin became known as the Development card guy and sheep guy, he had 2 soldiers showing and 3 development cards not yet revealed. Dan's progress had started slowing at this time and he was fighting with the pack.

At the end of the game Kevin's progress quickly increased and he was able to get a run to 10 points showing on the board and then he flipped his 3 development cards for the WIN! This caught us all of guard, Lori was most disappointed because she felt she was going to win on her next turn. Dan, Scott and Kevin all got to an island, Lori stayed on the mainland. 

In the end the final score was:

13 Kevin 
12 Lori
08 Scott
07 Dan
