It was my turn to pick and I picked a monster, Twilight Imperium. This game has so much going on that it is difficult to keep everyone on the same page. April, Zeb and Mark had never played, but they kept up with it all very well. April, playing the Jol-Nar, was very fortunate that a couple of the public objectives were tech-based. And Mark nearly accomplished his secret objective, but Zeb shut him down. Sure, it went long. And, sure, it was like drinking from a fire hose. But I had a really good time. We cut the game short (a first for me) at four turns, we all got a turn to pick the Imperial Strategy Card. It was getting late and we were all getting tired.
Twilight Imperium Standings:
April: 10.0 (five victory points)
Zeb 10.0 (five victory points)
Mark 8.0 (four victory points)
Joey 8.0 (four victory points)
