Tuesday evening with John and Tim (2/2)

Second game of Puerto Rico. This is one where no one wanted to end the game, since none of us knew if we would win or not. And when it ended, all three game-ending conditions were met, each occurring during one player's turn. How nice is that? John won this one, but later I found a rule that we played wrong, which would have given Tim the win...heh. The rule that we played wrong was the Mayor phase...apparently in addition to placing the new colonists on the board, you can switch around the current colonists as well. Since we didn't allow this, one of Tim's large buildings went unoccupied, losing him about 4 or 5 points, which would have been enough to win.

Final scores (VP chips + building VPs + large building VPs):

Me: 26 + 19 + 15 = 60
Tim: 30 + 25 + 7 = 62
John: 37 + 19 + 9 = 65
