“A fun game that the Cthulhuish probably should have won, but my usual sub-par luck on AG rolls, some general weirdness, and a strong game from Bluetooth left me with the tie.

The game started off with 6 starspawn who missed the first drive due to a handicap roll, so the Norsemen were able to get a pretty easy TD. I then managed to get the Fungi from Yuggoth into the endzone despite an interception by the Redbeards to pull even by the end of the first half. The second half started with a perfect defence by the Norse, which when combined with two failed target 2 dodges (with rerolls, of course) and a double skull (rerolled also) led to a 3 turn Norse TD. With the team down by one, and running out of time, the team put their heads together, dug deep, and gave up a blitz. Some good blocking and dodging (for a change), a lucky bounce, and a good toss from Cthonian to Nyarlathotep, however, led to the turn 13 equalizer for the Evil Squids. I then actually managed to get a perfect defence, and was able to hold him off for the remainder of the game, and get the tie.

Income was terrible for the second game running, further frustrating my attempts to get a Witch Elf to replace the one that died in her first game. I have to come up with a new merchandising gimmick - maybe some sort of Elder Thing planter set... At least the FF did not go down, which is good.

All in all I was not as frustrated with this game as with the last few. My luck remains bad, but not losing helped, and Bluetooth's ability to have fun and be fun to play helped more. He probably could have won the game by delaying that first TD several turns, but he realised (and said) that this would suck from a fun standpoint, so he let the game and fun of playing actually happen. I am certain that I will play him again, and recommend that others do too.
