Donner Party of Seven

WCW Club Season 2012 Games
“Don’t stand between a fat man and his burger,” Don Glass warned early last night at the Red Lion in Lincoln Square as he excused his way back to his seat. By game’s end, you could replace burger with supply centers, dispense with the warning, and you’d have a pretty good idea of how things went for Glass. He ate every player he could reach.
 
Game 169 ended by time limit after Fall 1907 in the following center counts:

Insult to injury

WCW Club Season 2012 Games

First, the Detroit Tigers signed Prince Fielder. Then, one of their damn fans topped the board last night in Game No. 168 at Guthrie's Tavern. And in just his second game ever.

Kevin Schiferle kept predicting an imminent comeuppance as he gobbled the East, slowly at first and then in large chunks. The time limit came first, however, leaving Schiferle atop the board with 13 centers.

WCW Club Season 2012 Games

Prime Weasel Dan Burgess prefers the host's apron to the diplomat's pen. That's well known. But every once in a while, he'll pick up the pen and try his hand at the game we all love. And on rare occasions, he'll even top a board. Today was one of those occasions. When the dust settled on Game No. 167, played at John Gramila's home in Logan Square, Dan Burgess was holding a handful of nuts.

The game ended by draw vote in Spring 1908. The final center counts were:

Jeremiah was a board topper!

WCW Club Season 2012 Games

We fought a lovely little war at the Red Lion last night. Our club's 166th game and 17th of the season ended by draw vote during the Fall 1905 turn with all seven players still on the board.

Jeremiah Peterson shocked us all by volunteering to play earlier in the day. Typically his arm needs twisting. He surprised us again by proposing a draw with his France topping the board at seven centers and sitting in or positioned to acquire three more. He figured that was as good as it was going to get for his France. Meanwhile, it appeared that winter was coming with Russia poised for expansion. The draw passed, so the game rolled back to the 1904 center counts, which were:
