Game Report: Andy T, Andy S & Tom M-J

We're off! Another classic three player with the original WoT boys and there's nostalgic talk of that first game back in August 2004... We're loving the new 'first villages anywhere' rule and the only other change is how the points system works.

Within a couple of turns Andy T is looking clever with a nice spread of oil throughout Asia and Europe, Andy S turns up the 'dirty propaganda' campaign. The Axis of Evil is seeing some action early in the game and Andy S is evil twice in quick succession, giving him a devilish hand of Terrorist Cards. Tom bungs him 50 million for terrorists and suddenly three anarchy cards (to be renamed) are on the table and Andy T's Empire is crippled: Andy S takes the upper hand.

... he's got The Bomb and starts a bidding war between Tom and Andy T as to who won't get nuked ...Andy T toys with turning terrorist but decides to fight on, trying his best to counter Andy S's invasion of Europe and Tom sneaking into South Asia. Tom and Andy S have some kind of peace pact going on which allows Andy S to build up a powerful empire, Tom only attacking when it's almost too late. Andy T gets his hands on a couple of nukes in a single turn and evens the board up a little.

A couple of turns later and Andy S is close once again, he's also got The Bomb and starts a bidding war between Tom and Andy T as to who won't get nuked. Andy T only has 30 million but pushes the price up to 300 million just for kicks, which Tom pays... Andy S drops the nuke on Tom just to spite him but it's all over anyway - little did we know that we just funded his last four cities and Andy S romps home with another victory for an Empire!

A two and half hour game... All of us finished wanting more. A quick brainstorm and that feeling of 'getting close' is still with us... We NEED a six player game.
