Another session of this excellent game and first time with just four players - it still worked just as well, apparently, which is good news as this is one of my favourite games of the year but I've only played with five or more up to now. This time, Guy and Mark had the non-military pact, while Nige and Steve looked for military points. Guy went down the science route and, although the scores were close, everyone expected him to win - which he did.
