Take a heavy. Let’s catch the banana before he splits! hawhaw
Yay! Cool hand to play with.
Bought 4 heavies. Pretty close to telling this game to go screw itself.
Our draw pile contains 3 apps.
We currently hold 3 heavies. Cultist, of course, plus:
- buy more heavies
- burn the hand
?
8 runes. Too bad there’s no Orb out there :)
I wonder if we will get to see the brainy chart and where the prolixing part stands at in the chart now.
Also curious as to where the Props from iron stands in the chart :)
Might as well go all heavies at this point and end the game as soon as we can. It’s not going to be terribly interesting from here.

I am always reluctant to go past three (3) Heavies or Mystics. And this game isn’t quite as close to finishing as an all-red Center might lead one to believe.
Both of the Mercenaries subtract zero from the pool for a kill. And the Sower might only net 2 or 3 on kill. So of the imminently kill-able Monsters there’s not a lot of honor drain.
Plus we have a Spike Vixen I had forgotten about.
I’d probably punt this hand and see what the next recycle gets me. But I am prone to load up for a big hand. I would agree that the prudent move is just to buy a bevy of Heavies and go for the jugular. It just won’t be a sexy ending. (Though, perhaps, more merciful.)
This game is going to be pretty damn close to over once the center row monsters get cleared out, if it ever does get cleared out. There are 17+ point out there right now, plus whatever else our Everblooms grab.

I would load up, along with killing monsters, that is 4 more honor in our hand.
Cultist killed / Heavies bought. Hippos sated.
Too bad this game has been a laugher. Other than that discussion over the fiend, it’s been pretty automatic. Yeah, once those monsters are cleared, it’ll be a pretty quick game, as evidenced by Dave’s 9 infantries. He’ll definitely be killing a lot of monsters over the next few turns 9 infantry and 2 militia over 25 cards puts him at an average of 4 power each turn. Luckily, we’ve cycled as well, so we should be able to keep up.
I’m happy to give Dave another go here, but only if he gives us more Brainy Thoughts from his Brain.
Thanks for running the HM Scott! And wow the HM is like super neurony now. If we do replay, I hope the game is dynamic and intriguing.
The brainy thoughts will return for sure!
My favorite bits of HM thinking centered around doing what it takes to win. I usually can’t control my desires for sexy cards and a hawt deck, even when it puts me at risk of losing.
I need to learn that and this game (and discussion) helped a lot.
Hearing no objection, and using my Hive-y powers to eradicate all memory of what has gone before, I’m sending Brainy Dave a new challenge as if for the very first time! He is like a virgin!
