So eventually 12 methuselahs turned up, from the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Slovakia and Hungary. Excellent hosting by Brouwerij Maximus!
Game play was fast and furious, only one table timed out. It was notable that there were at least 5 Anarch decks present.
Final:
Martin (Ashur/Liquidation bleed) - Rolf (weenie presence) - Josef (Malkav politicians feat. Lutz) - Zsolt (Gargoyle Anarch wall feat. Alabástrom) - Bram (big hands Anarch Wall feat Matasuntha, Qawiyya, Khurshid)
Rolf's weenies started off fast and hard, Jozef had little chance to play before he was overrun. Zsolt had some time to set up the wall, and the weenies would have problems ousting him. Martin was highest seat (by dice roll), and Bram realized Martin would win if he could get 2 vps, so he decided to speed up the game and help Rolf get his second VP, and Zsolt was also ousted. After that, Rolf was ousted by Martin's stealth bleeds, although the weenies managed to block some with Elder Intervention.
Martin and Bram had the highest seatings for the finals, hence both of them still needed an oust to win; if they would draw, Rolf would be the winner, so we had a very tense endgame. The wall deck with permanent intercept, and contesting the Parthenon and Pentex, managed to slow down the Ashur/Liquidations pool gain. Eventually, Martin ran out of stealth, resulting in several torporized minions. Congratulations Bram!
