Carcassonne Bowl XLII

In the hours leading up to the 2nd most watched television event of all time, we decided to find out for ourselves who would be victor via German Board Games, which hold more truth than the general public is currently willing to admit.

Carcassonne, the Spiel Des Jahres of a few years back. A brilliant game, in which a match between us was played with the blue pieces (the Giants) represented by Rachel and the grey (Patriots) by Eric. The following was elucidated: The Patriots received the kickoff, and made an impressive runback. However, they were quickly dominated by the Giants, who took control firmly, until the beginning of the 4th, when the Patriots briefly took the lead by a very dramatic Hail Mary. The Giants' final drive put them back into the lead, and despite a valiant final drive by the Patriots ending deep in the red zone without anything to show for it, the Giants won 27-23.As you may or may not know, we did get the winning team right (against the odds) and our final score was only off by the tens place digit. Some of the superfluous details may have been off, but I think we all realize the real thing when we see it.
