tough game! i think i'm still happy not going for overthrow, with both daggers r2 it was kinda a r3 setup from the beginning -> combat lured me to go for sm missed the bene bump first for intrigue and more info in r6 (at least noticed it later ingame so i didnt have to get mad now:)) but r7 i missed to place a spy from double agent, which i belive would actually win me the game (placing it on research station i would have drawn 3 on r8 and get tsmf, and then win by spice tiebreaker)
Could bounce have split up getting the money from shipping and getting the faction bump, to play opportunism in between? If so, he could have gone down twice with BG, and then taken his bump up with BG to get the intrigue from crossing the 4 influence threshold. That would have gotten him devour, and with a worm he would have gotten plenty of spice for tiebreakers. But shipping might be one of those "atomic actions" so I don't know for sure.
Question. If you can spare ONE troop is there ever a reason not to throw it into the mix to try for third place in a conflict. Worst case you at least force another player to spend more to win third.

Congrats to the winner and thank you both for the commentary 👍🏻
Hey everyone! We're about ready to go. Lanni joins me on this commentary. :)
Great win. Super close.
Tough game and well played everyone!

You should be able to do it. I was also hoping he would go for that.
GG!
Lanni is perplexed.

I think generally it's probably ok, long as you know what you're gonna do with a loose spice or whatnot.
@@BlackShadow993 So basically, have a plan to either use that spice/water/etc you win later or to use that soldier later. Makes sense.
@ 19:34, how did Margo draw 2 cards when she went to Arrakeen?
She optionally decided to recall her spy there for an additional draw.
Josh didn't have fremen bond so only 5 persuasion
Yep I missed that.
Margot's kingmaking combat intrigue move was ridiculous. Lucky Irulan.
ridiculous how? It's a competitive game you shouldn't hold back intrigues knowing it's the last round.
@@JoshTheWag Ridiculous for the player getting inadvertently hurt by it, I meant. Ridiculous like, "I can't believe that's happening." lol
i dont want to watch this one :(
