Game played: Rheinlander ( Parker Brothers ) BGG Id: 111

A quick report on this session as I'm just off on holiday. Four of us this week and Nige had brought Rheinlander with him and was keen to play. It had been a long while since any of us had played this and it took quite a while to go back through the rules. We still didn't appreciate one of the placement rules until part way through, but I don't think it had a major impact. We also misread the archbishop rule initially but again made sure this didn't affect play.

There weren't too many battles between duchies in this game. Previously when I've played, ownership has changed hands pretty frequently but nobody seemed to have the right cards to force battles. The main battle was between Nige and I for a valuable 12 point area, which I managed to protect after it changing hands a couple of times. The two Marks kept threatening to battle over another large area but both played to defend what they already had. At the end Mark K had the advantage over the rest of us in terms of dukes played, but I managed to ease him out by having the more valuable duchies and the spoils of my battle with Nige.
