Sunday started off with a coffee and chat with Chris (a friend who had moved out of town) at the Tesco Costa to pick up a copy of Lords of Waterdeep for Diego.

This was followed later in the day by playing a four player game of Brazil Imperium with Jeff and his family.

Mandy didn’t want an aggressive game so I chose the map below for our game. Which does look awesome.

It was interesting playing a non-aggressive game. This was more a race to get an engine going so you could complete your era mission cards. A totally different feeling and experience to my first play Friday evening.

With the Capital cities being so far apart each faction had space and time to build and get an engine going without fear of being attacked.

I had some pretty good synergy between my era cards that involved collecting paintings.

I was lucky getting paintings that aided me a lot, like being able to build anywhere, ignoring the terrain restrictions on buildings.

The end of game was triggered by me completing my third era.

Once all the dust had settled, scores tallied. Jeff and myself were tied for first place. The only tie breaker in the rules gave victory to the player with the most science tokens on the map. In this game it was Jeff who had a single one sitting on his church! I had none.

Jeff was the winner on a tie breaker.

But I had a great time playing the game with such great opponents and friends.
