PREV Summer 2015 Adjudication: NEXT

Well Scott of Denmark looks under the tree this morning to find...a solo! Though it's not a surprise to anyone at this point, Scott has finally assimilated his 14th center and thus achieved a very well deserved solo victory. Congratulations to Scott!

I also want to recognize the sustained efforts of all our other players; Max of Canada finishes in 2nd place with 9 centers while Jerry of the USA, Kevin of Norway, and Michael of Russia all tie for 3rd place with 1 center. I find it especially impressive that Jerry and Kevin were able to survive for so long with one unit, and of course special thanks goes to Michael for stepping in as a replacement.

As you all know, this was the first playtest of Arctic Diplomacy, and I thought it went very well. The game definitely slowed down towards the end, both in terms of on-board action and of progression in real-time, the latter of which was mostly my fault and for which I apologize greatly. That said, I learned a lot about the variant from the playtest, and definitely plan to make some changes for the next go-round. I will send another email soon (probably tomorrow) listing all the potential changes and would love it if you all could comment on any or all of their potential effects in your EOG statements. So once you all have had a look at that, please do send and EOG commenting not only on how this game in particular went, but also on the variant as a whole.

Again thanks for a great playtest, and congrats to Scott for the well-deserved solo!

Matt
