I'm going to stray once again from the original intent of this weblog. As the sub-title states, I'm supposed to be talking about the battles between HL and HB, but last night HL and HB teamed up in a game of Puerto Rico. The main reason for this was that we had 6 people for a 5 player game, and also because HB just finished teaching HL the rules, and it wouldn't be fair against experienced PR players.
As a team, we played in the 4th position and tried to execute a construction hut - hacienda strategy shipping corn and indigo with the help of a wharf. We were in pretty good position for most of the game and was also able to pick up the residence with 12 plantations for a whopping 11 pts. In the end, we came in 2nd place with 41 pts because the game ended quickly 9 or 10 rounds (i think) due to heavy "mayor-ing". The 3rd position player was able to sustain an early lead by trading and shipping sugar and then coffee before anyone else could stop his monopoly. He ended up with 45 pts. Not bad at all for HL's first go at the game.
