Turn 3
Once again I get my 5 straight early (always makes it easier). Sadly, though, the rolls aren't dropping this time and I'm filling the top of my sheet too fast. None of the AI is screwing up either, so a win this round is going to be tough.
But no sooner than I type that, when I land a Yacht of 5s! I rolled one 5 to start, and then 4 5s on the second roll! What are the odds of that?!? Oh yeah, 1 in 1296!
Even with the Yacht, though, I still have 4 of a kind and Full House open, with only 4 rolls left. Going to be close. The game taunts me with a roll of 6-5-6-5, but I'm unable to complete the Full House. 3 rolls left.
And then Roswell gets the Yacht!
At least he's in the same boat (no Full or 4 of a Kind with 3 rolls left) ... but then I get the Full House (phew!). Only need the 4 of a Kind.
...and then it falls apart. I roll 3 1s, take a gamble on getting a 4th, but it fails. I'm forced to take a 0 in the 4 of a Kind (don't want to waste Choice on 8 points).
After getting up to 6-6-6-5, I only get a 1 so I settle for a Choice of 24. That's enough, though, as Roswell just misses a game-winning full house:
Personal objective
Gold Collected This Round: 69 (Yacht + Winner + Mega Score)

Turn 4
Another early 5 straight...I think I'm getting the hang of this. Although once again the top of the sheet is filling up quickly. I see the opportunity for an Excellent Choice (worth 4 gold) and take it even though I usually save the Choice. While I won't go so far as to say I've lost this game, I know I got lucky last game and -- in a similar scenario -- I don't see myself getting out of it twice.
On the other hand, the AI is playing poor all around as well (I think I'm the only player with a 5 straight). Maybe ... Well, one other player (Chloe) has a 5 straight, but she's accepted low scores in both 4 of a Kind and Full House so that hurts her.
Hmm, thought I might get lucky but I had to take a 0 in Yacht. Que se ra, se ra.
I'm able to get a low point Four of a Kind, but I'm going to need to get a good Full House to win.
I get the House! 17 points, I'm 1 point ahead of Marvin and 2 ahead of Chloe, if I win this ...
I do!
Thus proving Sirian's First Law: Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. Not many gold, but I can't complain.
Personal objective
Gold Collected This Round: 27 (Winner + Excellent Choice)

Turn 5
Another 5 straight, this time to start off the round! Wow, I've never had this many turns in a row where the 5 straight came so easily.
Next roll lands me an Instant Straight! (9 gold) I slide it into the 4 straight category.
Next roll gets me a perfect 4-of-a-Kind (4 6s and a 5) ... I am on fire! Sadly, the AI is doing well too (but not getting their straights, and the AI gets a little obsessive with them as the game goes on).
I land another Instant Straight, for another 9 gold, but sadly the roll ends up netting me few points (nothing worse than a Straight when you have both Straights scored)
Solid game, but I don't get a Yacht ... one roll left ...
No Yacht. But if no one else lands one, this game is a winner ...
Oh yeah. Chalk another one for me!
Personal objective
Gold Collected This Round: 41 (Winner + 2 Instant Straights)
Gold Collected Total: 399
Gold to Go: 101
Turn 6
BTW, I just want to note: I have NEVER won 4 games in a row. This is a ridiculous streak for me. And to think, if I hadn't
the first game, it'd be 5 in a row! (Although perhaps the 4 in a row is positive karma created by the 1st game)
No early 5 straight so I'll probably end up sweating it out for one later.
Make an Excellent Choice for 4 gold, but halfway through and no 5 straight ... but on the next roll, holding only a 4, I land a 5 straight!
Roswell gets a late Yacht to move back into contention (was lagging far behind). Hmm, I think my streak may end this turn.
I do roll an Instant House, worth 4 gold, but nowhere do I need it (but I keep the 2 5s).
Chloe rolls a Yacht, putting me back more than 30, which means my final two rolls have to be for the Yacht (also have an open 4-of-a-kind, and it'd be nice for some points -- but I need that Yacht!)
The 4-of-a-kind gets a 0 when I fail my first Yacht attempt. My second attempt is going to be all for naught, however, as Chloe gets 3 6s to put herself out of my reach. The Yacht will get me some Mega Score points, though, so I will go for it...no dice (literally!)
Personal objective
Gold Collected This Round: 8

I can't believe all random events conspired in such harmony ... 
I just cost myself over 60 points! 
I'm confused, how many cities did we capture?
