Twilight Struggle (26 October 2009)

Anne and played again yesterday. This time the game ended at the beginning of turn 4. I was aiming for control of Europe as a way to a quick victory, which I didn't achieve. The Europe score card came up twice (in Anne's hand) which annoyed her as it was a nett 5 VP to me each time. Anne was doing well in Asia and while we were evens points-wise in the ME, she probably had the better long term position. I was getting a lot of her events so I rushed up the Space race for another 7 VP (man in Earth Orbit) and as turn 3 came to an end I speculatively grabbed a bunch of weak African countries.

At the start of turn 4 I was on 16 VP and was dealt the Africa scoring card. Anne felt a bit jipped at how quickly it ended. Nett 7 VP for me.

Obviously quite a bit of luck was involved!
