May 25, 2012 - Age of Steam

Location: Barton

Players: Dan (1082), Brett (1068), Mark (1000)

Brett looked good early.  Mark took control in the mid-game.  Yet Dan proved too good at the end.  This game highlighted just how good this game can be as it does not necessarily succumb to the "runaway leader" problem as was my initial concern.  Not only that, we all were making money early in this game which made it much easier to play from the get-go.

Result:
1) Dan (122)
2) Brett (108)
2) Mark (108)

Game Time: 4:30
