Pakora at DP: Dol Guldur for LotR 59, Pandemic 12
Tags
CC stopped by for a couple of games.
We kicked off with "Escape from Dol Guldur," (Game 8) using decks I built from Progression series IIRC. Caleb played Leadership/Spirit, I played Tactics/Lore. Eowyn was the hero which was captured.
Right out of the gate we got hit with Necromancer's Reach 3 times in the first few turns, which put loads of damage on heroes. That was bad, reducing ability to take on enemies later in the game. We managed to get through the Nazgul and a load of orcs and whatnot. However, we ended up in location lock with Ungoliant Spwan, Chieftain Ufthak and a couple of orcs on the board, which put us out with Threat 50.
I think we did pretty well overall though. This was the first game CC has lost, so that was good. We had gotten pretty luck on the first three games we played.
In between games I whipped up a batch of pakora using Hari Ghotra's recipe (youtube). This ended up taking a lot of me, as I was almost too tired to care about playing any more.
Pandemic was next; we (CC) set up the "In the Lab" expansion while I finished up the pakora, then tried to look interested in the game while we (CC) figured out the Lab rules. It turns out the Lab rules are pretty interesting. I don't quite understand how they work yet, but despite being exhausted and (relatively) disinterested, I'd like to figure out how to beat the Lab game. Really seems to bring a lot cool twists to the game.
That was all I had for the evening and went to bed right after.
