Thoughts & Observations:

• This was a Battle.
• I thought we were going to have to roll off for everything but Micah came in light.
• So all we had to do was roll to determine primary attacker.
• Things got messy as everyone collapsed inward across Micah's perimeter.
• My dice mojo was horrible right up until that moment in the last turn.
• This game was pretty dynamic.
• There was also a lot of trash talk flying around.
• Despite having the smallest descriptive paragraph, the third round had the biggest point swings of the game.
• This was my 70th game.
• This game took roughly 3.5 hours from set-up to tear-down.
