This week we managed one four player game.

Sam Asambonsam Ghoul > Stevan group 3 vote > Graham 419 Spam > Paul Obeah steal/bleed

Quite a brutal game, with Stevan suffering an early beating as Lucinde, Alastor got sent to torpor on one blood. This meant that he was always on the backfoot and struggling to keep going. Graham bought out numerous Osebo weenies which combined with 419 put pressure on Paul. Paul bought out Matthias but his blocking was hampered by Grahams Thrown Gate attacks. I bought out a number of Tzimisce who powered up and got the Ghouls up for defence. This allowed me to push forward, although some cross table rescues slowed me down. Graham also pushed forward, with the 419s taking their toll all be it slowly. Paul kept going as best as he could, getting some steals in and sliding in couple of big bleeds which I couldn’t always bounce forward as Stevan played Two Wrongs. Graham got the oust by overstocking his 419s, which meant that when I bled Stevan and burnt the Edge I got the pool lost by Paul. I then got the second oust and it was a straight fight. Graham pulled out the 419s, but I started smashing and burning vampires putting all of Grahams vampires in torpor. He then conceeded me the game with 20 minutes to go.

No changes of position, although I have closed the gap on Geoff.

Next week

Hopefully we will get some more players next week, although we are not going to see either Kieran or Richard. Perhaps Andy and Geoff will be available to boost the numbers? The other option for the second game is to try the Rapid Thought variant – embrace the three player game!
