I would like to play my games with sincerely tonight but haven't heard from him emoji code15]
Did you arrange a time to play with him? I thought you were playing earlier in the week but kept missing each other?
Anyway, on to my match with Leven:
Game 1:As fun as this game was (for me), it wasn't one of the best that Leven and I have played. The tiles were definitely on my side and as Leven began to feel the game sliding away from him he took increasingly risky chances which never seemed to pay off. As nice as it is to draw all the tiles that I needed, as well as the ones that Leven needed, it didn't feel like a very balanced game and although I was very happy to take the win I did feel that if this had happened during a game in person I could rightly have been accused of rigging the tiles!
Game 2:This was quite a long game (it took about an hour) with lots of contemplations from both sides. Leven was always quick to leap on any opportunity to block one of my meeples and although I was usually able to defend myself I was always on the back foot with regards my meeples as Leven always seemed to have more at his disposal than I did. This said, I never completely ran out so didn't skip too many points.
In the end, the luck was fairly evenly balanced with both of us picking up most of the tiles we needed (significantly the final cccr for Leven). This meant the scores were generally close throughout; often there were just a few points between us.
In the closing stages of the game I was ahead by a handful of points, but had two farms to myself and was sharing the top farm with Leven. With three tiles left to place he attacked this farm and won it outright with the last tile of the game which secured him a 2-point victory.
So the match was 1 - 1 with +39 PD to me and -39 PD to Leven
