Teratons in game 3<\/a>. Most of the game saw eleven monkeys on the pitch, even though one (with a Skill upgrade!) was knocked out of the game permanently (to be declared an ex-clone after the game\u2026)<\/p>\nThe far strike zone was defended by a Keeper and a Jack, so one intrepid Zee sprinted all the way to the end to Sucker Punch him before I realised that that little monkey did not have a high Strength. Still, he provided a useful threat hex for a different, better clone to knock him down. The Zees got away with every foul \u2013 the Forge Fathers didn\u2019t like following up Slams (aversion to Evade rolls, and wanting to be able to run into next turn\u2019s Slams) so there were lots of unthreatened monkeys around the referee ready to distract.<\/p>\n

Lots of one-sided luck left the Forge Father lying prone and the four-point lane open. No Zee with a Skill upgrade was nearby, so trusting on luck got the ball in our cheating little hands\u2026 a running throw, dozens of crossed fingers and what remained of the big pile of coaching dice landed the ball for four points ending the game in a landslide win for the Zee!<\/p>\n

Game Five of the Tri-Star League! I bought two cards before the game, to try to squeeze a few more actions into the Zee, rather than more bodies. John\u2019s Forge Father team haven\u2019t had great luck in the league so far and this game didn\u2019t break the streak. The guards hit pretty well, but not … <\/p>\n
