Tikal

After teaching Nathan Winchester Tikal, I got him online in a game with Dion Garner at SpielByWeb. We played without the auction (since that just is painful online) and ended up Dion, Nathan, me for turn order. Nathan had done well getting treasure in our two player game and tried to translate that to this game, but that didn't pay off for him. Dion capped two 8s early on (the first costing him a huge number of workers including his prime). This was interesting because it kept any of the other pyramids from reaching 9, except for the one I got to 10 (and capped). I was able to push a load of stuff that was hard to get to to 6s and my treasures gave me enough of a boost for the win. I pulled this out 119-112-96
