Players Don Lisa Leslie Trish
I had gotten this the week prior and was looking to get a second play in. I started off grabbing some good support, and then picking up some of the cheaper airships. The bonus airship floated around the board a bit, with Leslie controlling it most of the time.
Leslie set herself up early with some black power and ran through grabbing what she could with it. When the hindenberg opened up she grabbed the top two competetions on it, and was working on getting the 3rd, but her red support wasn't as good.
Lisa ran into some problems with slightly lacking support, combined with bad rolls making hard for her to grab support cards and airships. She'd ever roll 3 3's on white to get a 2 die 4, or roll 3 1's
Trish had some good plays, but kept having what she wanted taken by Leslie. Partway through she realized you could stack airships ( i guess i didn't explain that part very well) But what she did grab was worth points, nearly giving her the game.
I ended the game keeping the hindenburg incomplete to limit Leslie's scoring and hopefully help me. It worked out in combination with the ones I grabbed early kept me above Leslie and tied with Trish, but i had more ships.

Players Don Trish SteveZ
Trish had mentioned earlier in the evening the she hadn't played this, and when there were just three of use looking for a game i suggested it and we set it up.
Trish and I ended up lined up near each other after the first round or so and i started bringing in water, only to have Trish define how we'd be playing by detouring away from one of my 3 house developments. Well the led to some interesting water paths as we worked on getting ours fed, with out helping the other.
Steve meanwhile built up a few areas and supplying themselves outside of our little war.
By the end of the game, we had the usually spread of houses, but some interesting water paths going on. Steve ended the game when he made sure one of his 4 house developments got water, giving trish a chance to roll and earn a few more points.
In the end i had managed to get the most supplied.

Players Trish Mona Mark SteveZ Don Alan
Alan had picked this up and wanted to give it a try. None of the rest of us played it. After fumbling through the directions we managed to get the hand going with only minor mistakes.
I managed to score a bunch of places early while the board was setting itself up. I also had been dealt a very good hand with one void suit and one with just one card. So i stacked my end of round money there.
In the end of the hand i had the most. We decided we weren't overly impressed and didn't play a second hand.

We wasted some time waiting for Ra ( i think ) to finish up and player a couple hands of Escalation.
I was it for the game, and kept getting stuck with the big sets of cards.. Repeatably...

Players Don Mark Matt Alan
Alan wanted to give this another run, i liked it and was interested in doing so again.
I started off making sure i had some money, and well money was the course of my game, in the end i was pulling in 15-20 gold on the scoring rounds. I played the game trying to make sure i completed islands and was up with the longest. I got both of these bonuses by myself. The one place i was short was defending ships for VPs. All three of mine were fended off, but two of the three were worth money only.
I did still pull out the win, though Mark was pretty close, if i hadn't earned all the bonuses i could, he would have had it.
