Summary
The game started off with players quickly deploying their commanders with The Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, River Song, and Missy making early appearances. A key turning point happened when the player with River Song cast Jessica's Will, providing a significant boost to their resources. However, this was countered by the player with The Fourth Doctor blasting River Song, disrupting their strategy. Despite this setback, the River Song player managed to recast their commander and continued to apply pressure. The game ended with an intense counter war over Dance of the Dead, which was intended to reanimate Hoarding Broodlord. Unfortunately, the player could not pay the cost of Pact of Negation used in the counter war and lost the game, leaving the remaining players to battle it out.
