Kingdom Builder 7th August 2012
4 player game of good ol' Kingdom Builder. Easy to play, hard to master and a breeze to teach. Couple that with a new board everytime you play and custom winning objectives, and you have the recipe for a stellar
game!

Pavvo - playing Blue
Iayats/Cuddle - playing Orange (as usual)
Darthraider - playing Black
Cavalock - playing White

Victory Cards
Gameplay
The turn started off fairly uneventful with Pavvo and Iayats each claiming one corner of the board. Darthraider tried to fully surround one of the location tiles, denying any other player besides himself and Cavalock.
Pavvo decided to start off around the Stonehedge, netting him an extra placement every turn, while still trying to get foothold on all sections for the Farmer VP.
A couple of bad terrain draws saw Pavvo creeping up to the wall of Darth and Cavalock, while Iayats was happily minding his own business populating elsewhere.
Whoever said Kingdom is not cutthroat has obviously never played with this bunch of gamers before. With the lock on the lower farm, Pavvo attempts to head northwards toward the other special location, only to find himself blocked again by Cavalock and Iayats!
The board position at game end.
And the final scores......
Iayats surges ahead with 42 points, leaving Cavalock in 2nd and Darthraider a close 3rd. Pavvo, however, was left biting the dust. :(
