Yep welcome @lich! Always happy to have more players. @dwarddd is right that tourneys are great for getting a bunch of games and the other thread is the best place to look for games, not match threads like this one.
Nicely timed tech break @dwarddd and I didn’t draw for a stellar response, but I will hope you aren’t holding Origin Story and see what can be done here!

My Thoughts
Not shocking but not great. I could have Zane and Mad Man kill Argo, could maxband arg after, or I can save it and maxband Rook. Rook gives benefit of being much thicker but origin story would make for a bad time. Not that bad really but losing the tech 2 again for sure. I think that’s still best though, as I can keep options for Dinosize or sharks next turn
