Okay, so perhaps the competition was a bit lackluster. Maybe there were only a total of 6 people in the game. Still, conditions were far from ideal. It was 8 degrees outside for one. And the 300 pound man with the bald spot and fingernails filed into pointy daggers was certainly an intimidating distraction. You try not to break out laughing as they discuss the merits of their D20 and epic duels between Bobo Fett and Luke Skywalker. And as the giant Edward scissor hands was sure to point out, he'd won this game in this tournament by $3000 in the past. This was no gimme.
You may hear rumors that Kilgore was actually a co-champion, owing to the realization after more than an hour of 1 vs. 1 play that the two remaining contestants were, in fact, richer from repeatedly passing GO and no closer to bankruptcy.
In all honesty, Kilgore did dominate the houses, took the Harvard boys by complete surprise (they apparently never thought of buying up all the houses before) and should have won if just a single player had actually gone bankrupt on one of HIS properties.
Congrats.

To be fair, I was winning more than he was winning when we finally decided to call it...
Plus, I took home the grand prize: my very own copy of a first (and VERY limited) run edition of "Civil War: 2061," which I am expecting we will play next time 34B gets together.
With stirring state mottos such as "We fight for agriculture and commerce."
I liked the disclaimer in the instruction book:
Please remember, it's just a game! I am only using fighting between the states as a metaphor for how we argue about who we were in the past, who we are in the present, and who we will be in the future of the United States of America.
There is a civil war of good and evil inside every man. Remember, anger is a poor interpreter of life. We have freewill and can choose. Try being a warrior for freedom and go be who you really want to be, and keep doing it.
