[details=Thoughts][spoiler]
I realized belatedly (a couple hours after posting my last turn) what I should have done. I should have built Tech III and the Tech Lab, and used the Lab as a feint. I think he might have had enough to take out my Heroes’ Hall, but not my Tech III if I patrolled correctly. If I had brought in Zane instead of Geiger, and managed to float $1, then I could have given myself a chance to draw Octavian, bring in Geiger this turn, and give Octavian haste. It was just a chance, but it would have been cool.
I have to give Cesare props for the Bugblatter win condition. I love it.
I’m could have Zane and Hound trade with Oni, leveling Geiger and Cal, and Build my Tech III. Then I hope that he doesn’t kill Geiger and break my Tech III, assuming that breaking my Tech Lab, Tech I, and Tech II is good enough, and Tech in Octavian. I need Geiger for Now! (assuming I draw it and Octavian; big “if”), so I can’t patrol him. No blockers means two bugbladders and Cal waltz in and destroy my base directly.
If I just put down patrollers, he will either kill them and take out my base, or throw wave after wave of his own frogs against them, weakening my base to almost nothing, then take out my base.
If I exhaust Geiger to draw and hope to draw Chameleon Lizzo, I could take out a Bugbladder, but then (again), that brings my base down to 10, everything is vulnerable, not enough money for Zane and Tech III.
So. I have lost this. I get to choose how I go out. Let’s get the spite kill on Oni. And if I’m going to die, it’ll be by bladders. So screw Tech III. Let’s Tech monkeys and see what Geiger draws!
Chaos Mirror! Interesting! A fine way to go out!
Mirroraculously, I didn’t take any bladder damage on this turn. I’ll get some as I die, I’m sure.
