Last Saturday, we had a no-invitation board game session at the Kesners. And despite earlier hesitations of playing Civilization, Migo still force me to play it. :|
I was actually excited for that session because it's been a while since I played 7 wonders. But because it took us almost 5 hours to play a game of Civilization, I lost the chance. Huwaaaaaaaaaaah!
It's always my trouble learning new(super strategic or has lots of rules) games. Understanding and grasping the rules is always an extra effort. But I can always do it when I'm on the mood, but I was not in the mood for learning that time. But I didn't have a choice.
I was still grumpy on the first few rounds. Whining why I have to play it. So-so! Then slowly, I begun to understand and enjoy what I'm doing. Later, without me knowing it, I'm on the edge of winning. And like always, seeing the opportunity to beat others engulf me in flames of desire. And I know, I just have to win it by hook or by crook.
Of course, it wasn't easy. When others realized that I'm that close to the crown, they turned their target unto me. Boooooo! But of course, I didn't let myself to be an easy target. It helps that the first building that I have was barracks so I equipped all of my cities with that. Then wade my way into getting the updated version. I bought many units(for fighting). Put researched cards that could protect my empire. :P And then...when I can already afford Level IV cards, I didn't have second thoughts on buying the research card that has the ability to nuke other players' non-capital city. Ahaha! And with that, I started a reign of terror. :P It's only for a little while though. I lost the card to Karl. I tried to nuke his non-capital city but then he has a card that can cancel it. Tsk! Well at least, I tried. Lesson learned though. Next time...oooppps. There's no next time because I just told myself never play that game again. Hahaha! Well, for others who might, when you have a nuke card and decide to nuke someone make sure that someone doesn't have the ability to dodge it. :P
The game was really fun. I wish it wasn't that time consuming. For now, my decision is firm not to play it again. But who knows...
And...who won???
Of course, still me! Despite their cruelty. I can't believe Charry(..and I thought we're BGBB*) destroyed my 2 barracks rendering me a -8 defense against Karl who planned to attack my capital city so that I can't put the last card that would bring me the crown. Grrrrrr!
When Karl attacked I didn't really thought I would still win. I might have underestimated my survival power. Ahahaha!
And to end it all...
It really was a sweet triumph. And because I will not play it again...I will be undefeated until I'll change my mind. Hahahahaha!
