Game Report: Andy T, Andy S, Rich, Ilaria & Marc

Another five player game and the only new rule (first two villages can be anywhere on the board) is a good one and things look interesting from the start.

Ilaria turns Evil in the first turn and those terrorists get in the action early, within a turn they start popping up, Illaria taking the initiative and trying to 'free' Italy from the clutches of Marc. Andy S hots things up as he decides to try and wipe out Andy T's fledging empire in one turn. A nuclear bomb removes his target from Asia, then a volley of attack cards almost cleans him out Nowhere: Andy T starts his turn with a single village. This all proves too much for him and he turns terrorist early in the game.

Andy S moves into Asia and looks strong. Meanwhile Ilaria has been fighting on two fronts, Rich's South America and Marc is trying to hold her off in Southern Europe. Marc and Ilaria drop several nukes on Asia, some out of spite, others tactical. Andy S's empire takes a knocking and it could be anyone's game. Marc moves into the waste land of Asia while Rich tries the same with Nowhere. Andy S returns with an A-Bomb of his own, demoralising Marc who caves into terrorism. Rich declares to the board that the terrorists are going to win and joins them in the fight against colonialism.

Ilaria and Andy S's empires remain. The influx of cash to the terrorist cause helps a lot and they manage to knock the wind out of Andy S's sails, at one stage close to forcing him to the dark side. This is four and half hours into the game and as it's a school night, we decide to call it a day without a winner once again... But after a bit of a brainstorm we think we might have a 'tweak' which will help resolve the game quicker... Bring on the next game.
