Summary
 
That was another fun game and a interesting one too..Turn 2 start well for me, until the 4 fail activation..since I really only had about 7 left..it didn’t help the cause. Although Mathew had his share of Fail activation, he was better to able to soak some of it and still do want he need to do..
 
 
Anyways till next time..
 
Regards
Greg
