First game of the afternoon. Against someone I've not played games against since keeping track here on BGG.

Third play for the afternoon.
Got shut out of claiming the six black tracks because I hadn't expected my opponent to have the cards to take it, or even be wanting it.
Had also taken cards at least three turns more than I should have while waiting for the 'right' cards.

Six players, two expansions and at least one person really wanting a quick game.
I didn't get around to putting any farmers down and that's a significant part of why I did so poorly. Being unable to finish my city with a cathedral also kept me from getting about 40 points I think.

My second game, made the mistake of ending the game instead of getting myself more points. Also refilled the board halfway through when I should have just made do with what was still on the board.

Second play of the evening, with tiles from "Inns and Cathedrals" as well as the special meeples from that and "Traders and Builders"

One new player, so I hadn't been going to deal with the farmers. One of the others decided he would be though so farming was explained, briefly.
Competition over a 'big' city and the single large field led to a concentration of effort for most of us.

First game using the "Abbey and Mayor" expansion. Also used the "Inns and Cathedrals" and "Traders and Builders" so longer than I'm used to.
First of two plays in the evening.

First play. Neither of us used the barn but the Wagon and Mayor were both used a bit.

Came down to the second to last turn, final cards from the infection deck brought on two breakouts when the next turn would have seen the final disease cured.

First three player game I've been a part of and while the extra cards seemed a little weaker there seemed to be more choices than normal once we got past the first few rounds.
I don't know if it was better planning than normal on my part, or the lessened competition, or different strategies, but I got to the end with no negative points in my final score.

First four player game and the difference in the auction was noticeable. Having the wrong number of Freedoms available (because we had been going to play with five and didn't remove the fourth of each when that changed) made things not quite as they should have been but didn't seem to affect the outcome.

I'm obviously missing something, even with the simpler game each of my opponents was out in front of me by a significant margin.
