Runewars Boardgame Gameplay

[Jow]

technically wouldn't I be going before Zurai based on total influence (I have three, he has none)? Shouldn't have any effect on this game based on the orders given, but would still be good to know.

[Turtle]

Turn order fixed.

Turn 1: Daqan Lords (Lagom) 3-Conquer

It is now Lagom's turn.[/quote]
Lagom plays the tactics card:

Favor of Kellos - Play during your turn. Choose 3 uncontrolled areas not containing rune tokens. Take 1 dragon rune and 2 false runes from the pile of unused tokens and randomly place 1 facedown in each chosen area.

Lagom places the tokens in 8B1, 8C1 and 1B.

[Jow]

Perhaps our myopic Uthuk lord would savor turning his aggression in a direction more... suitable?

Uthuk Y'llan (Scoop) - HA HA HA. Can mere elves fathom the intentions of Demons? Still, the Uthuk Y'llan are willing to listen to your groveling. We assume you would like us to destroy someone?

[Jow]

I just thought, with runes just placed on our doorstep, you might be sentient enough to realize their value over something as mundane as a barbecue.... My expectations are not high, however.

And what about your alliance with Team Zombie?

[Turtle]

Lagom's turn continued...

Lagom activates 8C1, moving in 1 Knight from 6B, and 1 Knight and 1 Siege Tower from 6C. He then attempts Diplomacy using 3 Influence tokens.

Diplomacy Fate Draws: Failure, Success, Success.

The Dragon in 8C1 allies with Lagom.

Jow must decide whether to use his Supremacy Bonus for this order.

[Jow]

And what about your alliance with Team Zombie?

You shouldn't have come a-knockin, especially considering you just wooed two giants to your cause. If you still wanna dance, bring it, but Lagom is going to walk away with at least two runes if you decide to be petulant.

[Jow]

nope, no supremacy bonus this turn.

Edit: the world is about to explode.

Jow gains 1 influence from his title card.

[Jow]

i have been forgetting every year that the food effect happens BEFORE the end of the year... talk about myopic.

[docD]

I just thought, with runes just placed on our doorstep, you might be sentient enough to realize their value over something as mundane as a barbecue.... My expectations are not high, however.

And what about your alliance with Team Zombie?

We prefer Team Evil (Nasdaq symbol: Doom). Yes, I am stealing that one, but it was too good to pass up.

[Zurai]

Whoops, I think we're waiting on me

[Turtle]

Abundance of Power Influence Bids:
Waiqar the Undying (docD) 0
Latari Elves (Zurai) 0
Jowatal Elves (Jow) 0
Uthuk Y'llan (Scoop) 1
Daqan Lords (Lagom) 0

Result: Failure, no one receives a Dragon Rune.

All players must submit their order cards for this season.

Board updated.

[Zurai]

Board updated.

The board does not seem to be taking into account the secondary effect of the season card. Namely, Jow has more troops than food in JB and 5C.

Yeah, I got mixed up again.

Due to the Winter Season Secondary Ability, Jow must choose a unit in 5C and JB to destroy.

[Jow]

hey guys, where are we hung up on this one?

[Turtle]

It's me, been having a good and bad kind of month. Good because some new games have come out, bad because I've been depressed about work and other things.

I'll get this back on track tonight and will make sure to have proper updates at least daily or bi-daily.

Y3S4T2

[Scoop20906]

Please rout the Flesh ripper to 2A1.

[Remus West]

Please rout the Flesh ripper to 2A1.

Rout, not retreat. Routing just tips them on their side and removes them from the final fight tally.

[Scoop20906]

Please rout the Flesh ripper to 2A1.

Ahh. Thanks. Rout Flesh Ripper.

[Jow]
