80 points to toss-up - Birthday game event update

It’s Sunday and I just got back from Easter lunch. As I vegetate here watching enchanted with my daughter, I wanted to update the Guild at Board Game Geek with some images, only to see the site is down. So instead I will add a flavor image here until I can upload the rest, and tell you the results of the tournament.

Thing stayed very close throughout, and as I had hoped even those who did not do great in every game were still in the running all the way through.

Game 1 was two tables, one playing China, the other playing Betrayal at House on the Hill. Tim M and Jim got first place on those.

Game 2 was also 2 tables with a double helping of Game of Thrones, both 4 and 5 player flavors. Here 2 Myers boys game out on top with Tim and Andrew taking first place in each.

Game 3 was Nexus And Starfarers of Catan. Finally the Tim Myers winning streak was Broken as Dave took Starfarers on the last turn, and Andy took Nexus Ops.

Finally Game 4, almost 12 hours of gaming, and it all come down to Age of Empires III and Coliseum. James and Dave took respective victories in each game, and as a result also tied for first place. Zack and Tim tied for third place. So in a major upset, James and Dave took it to a game of toss-up, and Dave came out on top stealing first place.

Tim and Zack played out another game of toss-up with Zack taking 3rd place.
All in all it was a great Birthday and a great set of games. I plan to add more soon, but for now enjoy the image of our second place winner.
