Things would have played out quite differently if that had been Kidnapping… For starters, I wouldn’t have just won the game. :wink:

Thoughts

Welp, that all lined up perfectly. I guess I had even better luck with that draw than he did with the Thieving Imp discard! Hasted Bugblatter + Crashbarrow is scary, especially when the opponent’s patrol just got wiped. Ironically, it would have been better for him to put Gorgon in Lookout in this case. Not that it would have mattered, since I had 1 gold left at the end of this play, but that’s the one I ended up wanting to steal! Still, that was a well played game on his part. I didn’t see any glaring mistakes anywhere in his play, so I’m especially happy I was able to win a real match!

@EricF, I did it! I figured out how not to lose! :sweat_smile:
I wonder what it says that I’ve only won with Red when playing online…
