Summary

The game began with each player building their board state and setting up their strategies. Matt, playing Sauron, managed to maintain a strong board presence throughout the game with his 'Dread Horde Invasion', continually amassing an army. Eriette, piloted by ARA, utilized enchantments to strengthen his creatures, but faced a significant setback when Matt redirected 'All That Glitters'.
