Fortunately, Adam left me alone during the game.  During this game, we were all rock poor.  And I did not want to spend any of it building walls which could have been easily torn down (everyone was wood rich).  I purposely did not extend towards Adam&#8217;s section and did not build any more roads than I needed.  When I built my stock market, Adam worked his way down to use it.  There was really no point in trying to stop him (lots of wood can tare down walls easily).  I was trying my best to speed the game up and end it soon.  Unfortunately I could not end it one turn earlier and Adam was able to build some stock certificates.  However in the end, we were tied in gold\/coins\/certificates and I out scored him in wonder points.  A close game!\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWe tried some mini-bridge hands after that.  But my brain was used up from all the previous meatiness.  Adam tried to teach scoring to us but I was retaining none of it&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roads and Boats Adam wanted to play a meaty game after disc golf and Jon was the only other person interested.
