 After a long and competitive season, we finally concluded Series 7. Sven came out victorious and can call himself the Emperor of Band of Boarders.

Jona came first with both Dume Imperium and Powergrid, Sven was the winner of Puerto Rico and Cities and Knights and Ibe won Kemet.

Series 7, The Beginning

Hey all

Been a while since my last post.

The trial period of Series 7 has started.

The first game we are trying out is Dune Imperium, so far, everyone loves it, even though we are still figuring out all the possible strategies and tactics, even after 5 games played and a lot of research on Boardgamegeek and Youtube we still feel very newbie.

So it will probably take us another 5 games before we start player Ranked games of Dune Imperium.

I am sure we will have a lot of fun and competition in the new Series.

Now let's play!

Series 6 is finished, we have a winner.

After several years of trying, Ibe won Series 6 and from now on will be known as Jedi Grand Master of Boardgames. He also won the subtitle Jedi Master of Puerto Rico.

Roy did come quite close in the end and finished second, and receives the title of Jedi Battlemaster of Boardgames. He als won both the Catan and Cities and Knights competitions and reveices the Jedi Master title for both.

Sven finished third and reveices the title of Jedi Sage Master. He also won the Powergrid competition and reveices the title Jedi Master of Powergrid.

Finally Jona finished fourth, and had enough points to receive the title of Jedi Master of Boardgames.

Thanks all for a fun but competitive Band of Boarders Series 6 competition.

 

Series 5 Finished

Series 5 is finished, Sven took First place again in the Overall Boardgame Ranking and can call himself Jedi Grand Master during Series 5.
Ibe was able to take first place in Catan Cities and Knights and can call himself Jedi Master of Cities and Knights.
Roy placed Third in the Overall Ranking and earns his first Master title: Jedi Sage Master.
And Finally Jona made it to Sith Lord in the Overall Boardgame Ranking.

Congratz all, and let's hope Series 6 will be as fun and exciting as Series 5.

Series 4 - Game 43

Hey fellow Boarders

Last game was a Trial Game of Kemet ( as it was Roy's second game ), but a good one.
Ibe took an early lead in points with an aggressive Red strategy, but not much later Sven his White Economy build start working well. Jeroen tried to block and attack Sven a couple of times, but that didn't work out very well. Ibe thought he still had time and was amassing a powerful army, but Sven managed to quickly finish and win the game before Ibe could get his troops in place.

All in all a great game of Kemet.

Next time it will be a full Ranked Game and there will be some scores to settle :)

Series 4 - Game 6 and 7 - Kemet and Alhambra

Hey Boarders

Friday we had another fun boardgame evening.

First we played Kemet, this was our last prototype trial game, to iron out all the rule issues and implement our final houserule draft.

Regardless of the rule implementation stuff, it was a fun game. Ibe took the lead early with an offensive red strategy. Jeroen tried to play out his defensive strategy with blue but had a hard time keeping up his defense against the agressive attacks from Ibe. Meanwhile Sven was trying to build up his economy strategy with white but he had to change his plans several times to try and slow down Ibe. Sven managed to hold off Ibe from Vicory for a while, but in the end, there was no stopping the red warmachine and Ibe won the game with Sven in second place.

Next up was Alhambra, where Ibe took again an early lead with a long wall, but Sven and Jeroen were able to keep up and in the final count Sven won the game with Ibe going second.

I am looking forward to play our first Kemet ranked game next week.

Series 4, the beginning

Hello Boarders

On Wednesday Series 4 took off.

It was a fun evening with some 4 and 5 player Catan games.
Sven dominated by accumulating a total of 32 points in Catan.

Sunday we will have a rematch, hopefully the other Boarders will make it a bit harder for Sven.
