Its been mooted that they can unbalance the game a bit so it's good to see here that's not the case. (Not because you lost Sam!). Apparantly the expansion, which I can see myself getting, deals with this.

But then Andrew (wisely) decide to just sit it out.<br /><br />Really good to play Istanbul again too. I still rate it quite highly. And I'm confused as to why Mord Im Arosa hasn't been seen more often, it was great fun!Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05595365074869478107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-72261578606789206662015-11-30T07:48:14.875+00:002015-11-30T07:48:14.875+00:00Call me crazy, but I felt Eclipse was almost over ...Call me crazy, but I felt Eclipse was almost over too quickly! I wanted to gather my forces and make some sneaky move. But I think perhaps we were all over-cautious in blocking each other with hex placement, so the interaction between spaceships was pretty minimal. Still fun though.GNN Reportshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982778341361220607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-28242747021530041182015-11-29T23:39:38.889+00:002015-11-29T23:39:38.889+00:00We all came first, second and third!

...We all came first, second and third! How lovely.<br /><br />Eclipse was epic, as only Eclipse can be. I'm still a little sad I didn't send my swarm of wasps into the final battle, but I won anyway, so my sadness is tinged with the glorious taste of victory.<br /><br />I misjudged Istanbul, since I thought we had another gem to collect, but it would have made little difference. And Ian's performance in Mord Im Arosa was impeccable. I'm sure he had no cubes in the tower at all.Ersbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012602968152264418noreply@blogger.com
