On this page, I'll put an occasional report of games that
we've played,
when someone writes one, additional notes can be found on Gordons'
company website at
http://www.vectordisplay.co.uk/gameshome.htm
.
These are Gordon's thoughts on this game, one of my favourites,
which we
pulled out recently on the occasion of Mike being on holiday (it's not
one
of his favourites). Introducing a few new players to the game we set up
using
one of the suggestions in the Rule book.
Great game of Robo Rally. We did not get time to finish the game but
based on the board position when time was up my prediction would go:
Daniel 1st
Dave D 2nd
David 3rd
Gordon 4th
Dave C 5th
There was a great flow to this game. David took a commanding early lead
but got waylaid a little around the spiral conveyer belt. I was well
back
following 2 visits to the bottom of a pit. Daniel dashed around the
double
speed belt to join David at the number 2 flag. Meanwhile Dave D and
Dave
C bashed together in a messy manor holding them up for me to whip
through
to make headway on the leaders. Dave C recovered first from his tussle
with
Dave D bashed me aside on the fast belt to pip me through the doorway
to
the 2nd flag. Dave D, taking a different route, zapping me to within an
inch
of my mechanical life, bullied Dave C onto a conveyer belt to hell and
neatly
took the flag. David in a odd dance powered down just prior to dropping
down
a pit. We called time with Daniel making a break for the final flag
hotly
pursued by Dave D. David was about to come back to life on the second
flag
with myself powered down on the same spot. Dave C who had missed saving
his
position by touching the second flag by a whisker had come back to life
miles
back at the first flag.
So those are Gordon's thoughts, personally I'm inclined to take
issue with
the predicted result, because I reckon I had a very good chance of
winning, but we'll never know for sure(Dave D)
