Thoughts

Now I understand the value of Bombaster! If it werenā€™t for that, this would have been a lot uglierā€¦ As it is, it now comes down to whether he can break my Tech III building during his turn. If not, then Iā€™m virtually guaranteed to win.

22

I just realized that I paid for a worker last turn but didnā€™t actually make it. Looking at my hand, thereā€™s a pretty obvious choice, so Iā€™m going to remove that from my deck. This would also put me at 4 cards ending last turn, so Iā€™ll redraw the 3 (4 after technician) random cards. Iā€™ll also have 11 workers for this turn.

Does that change anything for you?

23

That all sounds good to me! I donā€™t see a need to change my turn, so go ahead and take yours when youā€™re ready. I wonā€™t be able to take a turn for a while, FYI.

24

As I suspected, there was no need for me to take a turn anyway ā€“ thereā€™s no way I can defend against T-Rex at this point. Good game! For what itā€™s worth, I actually had Pirate Gunship in hand, so if you hadnā€™t drawn it I would probably have won insteadā€¦ Getting both Wandering Mimics and giving them Haste and Flying with Nullcraft was quite the swing, though! I think I could have won if I hadnā€™t been forced to go so far down on cards to stop that.

@EricF, I probably wonā€™t be able to play any more games this weekend (Iā€™ll try to keep the one between us going, though). You can set it up if you want, but keep that in mind.

26

Good game! It would have been interesting if I hadnā€™t drawn the T-Rex. I still had two Momentā€™s Peaces which could have stopped your gunship, but that would have been a lot tougher.
