This is the first time that I have played with five people.  Usually, it is just with three.  In this game, I chose to go after Mining instead of Cloth making.  I passed on the first two forts and was able to get the last fort for cost.  And I was able to secure a Granary for two extra store-houses (which I needed since I wasn&#8217;t going after Cloth making).  With available workers and the mining card secured, I concentrated on building up my economy.  Fortunately, there were no cards that I needed.  Jon was off to a great start.  However, instead of building up his economy, he decided to buy different cards.  Mike had mining as well, but he took a time-out to buy Cloth making as well.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOnce I got my economy up to six income cards, I turned my sites to victory points.  I bought two city centers and one city wall for the win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bunte Runde Since we were waiting for Nick to show up, we started off with a light filler.
