7/10 Pizza Day!

Today was Pizza thursday! Today's game went pretty quick. There were solid placements available and everyone started in good shape. Bill got off to a quick lead with longest road and was threatening to build on an island. He immediately became a target. Zalman built the first city and got the brick port. Ap and Crispy both started out slow. However, things soon changed. While everyone's attention was on Bill, Zalman's numbers just stopped rolling and he couldn't do anything. He wasn't on a 6, 8, or 11 and they just kept rolling. Crispy got brick on 5, 6, and 9. He also got wood on 4 and 9. Basically, he went wherever he wanted and quickly was running away with the game. As soon as he got on the 8 of stone, he was able to start building cities.

A weird occurance happened when Bill, Ap, and Crispy all ran out of settlements. Bill also had the longest road at that point and was doing his best inpersonination of Kong. Once Ap had 5 settlements, he was pretty much done. He has sucked for 2 straight days. The game came down to Crispy getting the longest road and only needing one point to win. Zalman had a soldier, but decided not to rob Crispy. On Bill's turn Ap and Zalman were able to trade with him so he could get the longest road. However, on Crispy's turn, a 9 rolled and he got 3 roads. He then used all of his remaining cards to build a settlement and win. If Zalman had robbed him, he wouldn't have been able to win on that turn. Therefore, Zalman blew the game.

Current Standings:
Standings (Wins / Blown Games):
Bill: 5 / 3
Crispy: 2 / 2
Zalman: 1 / 3
AP: 5 / 4
Kongo: 0 / 4
