We finished off with a quick game of Paris Paris. Mark K was the only one not to have played this before. I started off getting my tourist traps nicely grouped, but suffered later on with my nicely developed network getting hammered. Nige also set up a nice network but fell behind in the scoring. I made a key error, advising Mark G not to remove one of Nige's pieces at Pont Neuf, then to find that Nige got some great connections and scored twice as many points as he would otherwise have done on two of the final Grand Tours. This was enough for him to grab a come-from-behind win. Although this game is getting mixed reviews on the internet, I still enjoy it a lot, as does the rest of our group.
