I’m going to pull the plug on this game now.  Japan is contained and I see no way to get 8 VC for Germany before destruction.

Good game, I really enjoyed it.  You have a different approach to most people on the board and it’s nice to see a fresh view.

@variance:

Hey thanks PGMatt.  You can have a rematch anytime (same bid flip sides?).

I dont think I have enough games to play a third against you yet, our fall game last year ran into this season so this is your second victory against me already.

I’ll contact you when I’m over the threshold and we can have another.
