Gameplay Summary

The game kicked off with some strong early plays, notably from Alex who piloted Francisco & Kraum, and Jerry with Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer.

Alex had an impressive start with a turn-one Orcish Lumberjack and Francisco, using the Orc to ping Jerry.

Jerry responded in kind by dashing Ragavan into play and targeting Elliot, gaining advantage from both Ragavan and Grenzo's triggers.

In the following turns, the players continued to develop their boards and set up their strategies.

Jan, with Minsc, Beloved Ranger, notably fetched Drannith Magistrate via Imperial Recruiter, reinforcing his board state.

Eliot, piloting Grolnok, the Omnivore, played a risky game by revealing his combo pieces early, ramping up the tension at the table.
