Me I played 5-player Earth on tuesday. It was fun playing it with the full group and amazing how it was still basically the same play length! What wasn't so nice was that I got absolutely wrecked in terms of points.

On wednesday we had our last DnD session for a while. After this there's like two months where at least one of us is away or busy every week. We hoped that we might be able to finish the campaign but the dungeon just continues with no end in sight. After discovering yet another arm of the network the wizard and the cleric suggested to the group to storm the previous horde of monsters with the very tough enemy that whomped us previously. They were eager to put their new spells into use, while the other two were very hesitant to risk another potential wipe. It ultimately came down each player rolling persuasion. The cleric and the wizard succeeded and the battle was swift and decisive. A 1-2 combo from the cleric's and the wizard's made short work of the zombies while a few rounds of concentrated fire on the baddie subdued that one as well.

On sunday my GF and I played Thanos Rising. After rolling nothing but red infinity stones (unable to heal heroes or use bonus tokens) for a while and getting a very nasty sector with 3 enemies it came down to a risky move. Go in and risk getting 2+ damage on every hero but or not go in and likely still get 1-2 damage on every hero. My GF went to a differerent sector and got hit with a full salvo. Since Thanos also activated the red infinity stone she was unable to use her two healing powers and lost half her team. So I decided to go in, got the full beat down but thanks to a very lucky roll managed to deal 3 damage and thus heal everyone on my team enough to survive. After that the game turned around. And we were able to easily defeat the remaining 3 enemies needed to win. I suggested trying for a higher difficulty (more enemies) but my GF wanted to quit while we were ahead.
