Thoughts & Observations:

• This was a Battle.
• I started out Round 1 with 70 points.
• Stevenik's point total didn't change for the entire game.
• We all counted down the Doomsday Clock pretty aggressively this game.
• The new table-setting got a good reaction.
• The last round of the game was pretty tense with the lead changing hands and everyone trying to figure out how to win.
