I then persuaded the others to have a go at Africa. I’ve played this a couple of times before and enjoyed it but Mark K and Nige have played once and both took a bit of a dislike to it. Admittedly, it is light but I think there are a fair few things to think about.
I seemed to keep picking up monuments and had an abundance of basecamps to place. Nige managed to pick up a fair number of goods and all of us tried hard to acquire gold and gems for the endgame bonuses. Unfortunately, I was unable to place my last basecamp so missed out on a few extra ponts, potentially, and Nige managed to grab enough from his goods and the gold/gem bonuses to claim victory. However, the scores were extremely close and Mark and Nige reckoned it had played much better than on their last encounter with it.
