AZ Gamers Tikal

Just finished a game of Tikal on spielbyweb.com with Matthew Frederick, Jason Maxwell and Dion Garner. Jason had only played once before and not the auction variant, and it had been forever since Matthew had played (not sure if he played auction variant either). The bidding got a bit out of control early on and Matthew took himself out of contention fairly early. I capped a 10 and 7 in the early mid-game and rode that to a comfortable win. Don't put too much into that given the inexperience. I'm going to see if these guys want to go again, and I'm sure that things will be much tighter. Final scores: Matthew 59, Dion 85, Jason 90, Charles 106
