Summary

The gameplay was highly interactive with each player making strategic moves to gain an upper hand. The game saw a lot of back and forth as each player cast their respective commanders and tried to establish board control. John (Tegwyll) and Tom (Gylwain) had strong early games, establishing board presence and applying pressure. Extras (Alela) and Sam's (Ellivere) strategies took longer to set up, but once they got going, they were able to make significant strides. However, it was Sam who managed to outlast his opponents and secure the win, with his 'Elevator of the Wild Port' and 'Catilda, the Unhard Martyr' plays proving decisive.
