Rowan Tree and Red Thread

Last Sunday we pulled out Attika for a second game before our memories of the rules faded. We set up without problems and got rolling with a rather uneven starting draw. Both Alai and I drew our capitals as our first black tile while Sam was without Thebes until she reached the bottom of her stack.

We played more defensively this time, blocking with each shrine with our buildings as best we could. The additional land gave me a run for Sam's shrine but I wasn't able to bridge the gap and Sam blocked me easily. Then Alai placed land allowing for a run for my shrine. I couldn't stop him, nor could Sam. I think now I should have defended my shrine with land tile rather than reach for Sam's shrine with it but them's the breaks.

Good game, and over in about an hour. I must try the 2-hander with Sam.
