Nige and Mark W were both back from holiday this week so we decided to have another try at Endeavor, a game we all rated very highly first time we played it. This time, I wasn't quite so enamoured with it as I felt it took a bit too long. I also made a couple of mistakes early on which really put paid to my chances. The same seemed to be true of Mark K, although we both clawed our way back as the game progressed. Mark K especially did well to score an impressive 44 points on the status track. Nige, however, took an early lead and never really looked back. It did make him a bit of a target and if Mark W had managed to banish slavery, it may have made a bit of a difference. However, the carefully conceived surprise attack was dealt a fatal blow when Mark K pointed it out to everyone and Nige was able to make sure he could retaliate and prevent that event from happening. Still, Mark W did put on a good late burst and ended up as Nige's closest contender but still Nige was not to be denied and secured a comfortable win. |
