The game started with everyone building right in the middle and lower right parts of the board, with 5 players, this was a sure sign of lots of aggressive moves to come.
Indeed it was, with the pieces being replaced quickly, and oftentimes 3-4 times for one spot.
Final scores (lower is better): Laura 2 (7) Doug 2 (10) Dave F 2 (16) David B 4 (10) Eric 4 (12)

An interesting game where you have to hope to avoid others taking the same action you have, and to choose carefully what to do when you have taken the same action as another.
I highly suspect that this game, like Adel Verpflichtet, is best with more players.
Scores: (Cauldrons/Shelves + Vials) Dave F 21 (17+4) 1st Doug 19 (14+5) 2nd Leslie 17 (17+0) 3rd Aubrey 16 (12+4) 4th

Everyone did a good job of spreading their market booths into multiple cities. Fewer did well at converting barrels to victory points. Martha did a great job, sometimes gaining eight or more points in a single turn and walking to victory.
Scores: (barrels + city points)
Martha 46+12 = 58 Bob 35+12 = 47 Laura 26+10 = 36 Eric 24+16 = 40

A fun game of brinkmanship and planning, with a healthy dose of luck...
The battle to stay put was hard fought on the lucky dog tiles, and David B was able to gain one but unable to get a bad luck tile to use it on! Poor Todd rolled a 1 on his penultimate turn to stop David from getting the -10, but he ended up with the -6 and -10 himself! Leslie had a HUGE stack of tiles, almost all negative, but did get 2 lucky dogs to help her out.
Doug 14 Dave F 11 Leslie 6 (2 dogs +8 +3) David B 6 Aubrey -3 Todd -12 (-16 on last two rolls!)

The Blue Games are a series of small but fun games that all come in a blue box. (The most played Blue Game in our group is Democrazy). In Dragon’s Gold, players deploy a team of adventurers attempting to kill dragons and steal their treasure. Killing the dragon is the easy part; afterwards, the players who contributed to killing the dragon have one minute to divide the treasure. Failure means forfeiture of the entire treasure. In this case, Aubrey was by far the best as he trounced us.
