Another epic game.
And a few "firsts" as well!
First off, this was the longest game I'd ever played. Clocking in at over 6 hours, it was aggravating how many times players sat there without a clue as to what their next move was when I was thinking 5 moves ahead each turn. My turn took 30 seconds to execute, it was an average of 10 minutes for the others.
My nephew was running away with the lead the whole game and would've won but someone took his home planet, blocking him from scoring.
It opened up the game for me to make a big move, scoring 4 points in one round and moving into a tie for first.
Panic set in as the other 6 players did NOT want to grant me the win (since I'd won Spartacus the day before) so a "Support for the Throne" card was played, giving my other nephew (not the one in the lead previously) the last victory point he needed to defeat me.
I don't mind losing that way. To be honest, he may have beaten me in the next round without the free point, but it was expected since I knew they were dead set against me not winning back to back game days.
I may be retiring the game for the rest of the week. Still have another game I brought to the beach I'd like to get played a few times before the week is thru. Either way, this was another great game.
