Game played: Phantoms of the Ice ( White Wind ) BGG Id: 1705

We then moved onto an old favourite. Phantoms of the Ice is a game I’ve played a lot and it is always terrific fun. Steve and Phil hadn’t played before but it’s so easy to pick up and we were soon constructing our unstoppable teams. Well, some of us were creating unstoppable teams: I seemed to trade bad for worse and John must have been doing the same, as he never challenged anyone to a match the entire game. The nice thing about the game is that the strong teams don’t stay strong for long as everyone wants to trade their dross for your superstars. Phil started with a dismal team and lost three quick matches but then managed to get a decent team and grab 3 wins later on. Mark K and Nige ended up in the final with Nige’s team looking the stronger on paper. Luck was with Mark though as he scraped a draw in regulation time and took the title in the sudden-death play-off.
