That faji was immense.

Big mergers that close to the end are so tough to call. I ended reasonably happy with all the boats, when I was expecting to be right out at the bottom for a lot of the game.

Also, Rex, it's your go in HIS.

Hmm.. I even looked at the Indonesia rules this time.  For some reason, I thought it went one more turn after the companies are snatched up. 

It might be the fever dreams.  I am having trouble focusing.

Yeah, I know. I should be able to get to it this evening. It's tough to make plays during the work day on it. I should have done it last night, but forgot all about it.

Do you guys want another game of Indonesia? I really like the flow of it online.

I couldn't remember how long it had been since the last notification. Was it only yesterday? Sorry!

It technically does. Era/phase change is the first thing that happens in a turn. But the game ends immediately when Era C ends. So we went to the next turn, the criteria for an era change was met, and the game ended.

I screwed up in the first game thinking that era a or b would last an extra turn because 1 of the companies was left out there because I didn't realize that it was triggered when 1 or 0 was left.

Yeah I'm happy to keep Indonesia going. It works well online.

I wonder how 'normal' our scores are. Both games have ended quite similarly:

1 - 1762 - 1780
2 - 1256 - 1275
3 - 1234 - 1222
4 -   943 -   843

I think it was a day or two before that...last night was just when I had time to do it and didn't.  ;D I probably needed the reminder again anyway...it slips my mind if I'm not able to get to it immediately.

Both times the Siap Faji master won, no?

I think that's true, but Woodall just had Siap Faji the very last round. It was more that he came out on the better end of the mergers than everyone else. If I let you have the rubber company at a lower value, then he's pretty cash poor going into the last round and I'm pretty cash rich. If all the companies get snatched up again, I probably win. I gambled on the game going at least two rounds...though I don't think I would have been able to out-earn him by enough to have been able to catch him had it gone two rounds.

If you get the chance to okay it it face-to-face I'd give it another go. It's actually loads of fun with a high banter capacity. I don't rate it as an online game either.
