What a game!
In the last round I went against my nature and defended Mecatol Rex for the first time ever. I never like fighting (I'm a coward) and usually retreat. Ceding the planet over to the invader, but my spider-sense was tingling and something told me I had to stay.
This guy had me outnumbered and had all the cards to take me down, but somehow I ended up defending the planet and saving myself from defeat (as he had a card that would have let him win the game immediately afterwards)
Without control of the planet, I through the board into chaos. Snatching someone's empty home planet as a distractor, while all the while knowing I was scoring 2 points regardless of whether I could hold on to it for the end of the round or not.
With the chaos abroad I scored a secret objective and struck fast before the others could figure out what I was doing.
Since I was down and needed 3 points to score, I also successfully got someone's "Support for the Throne" which got me the extra point I needed to win the game. (we'd been kind and helpful to each other the whole game, so I successfully convinced him to trade support for one another)
Another incredible game for what still remains #1 on my list of best boardgames ever!
