Hey Chris - I wasn't sure of your username on here. I was going mainly off memory which was a bit fuzzy given that I had to sort of run the game through most of it, and of course several beers didn't help. I'm pretty sure my details of the combats are at least a little off, if not completely wrong, but the general flow of the game should be accurate at least from my point of view.I'd be interested in seeing a report from you and the others to get an idea of what your thoughts were at different points of the game as well as how the different factions skewed views of the game. For example I didn't feel like the traitor cards unbalanced the game as some others did, but they are a main strength of the race I played as.
In the end I do think all of the factions are unbalanced in their own way, which probably results out to some close balance as a whole. In hindsight, while the 3 vs 2 alliance felt brutal, the two of us were really just that one play away from winning the game. It actually came down to the very last phase of the last round and that makes me think balance is there.
Hopefully we can get it played again sometime with different race selections as it does seem to be a game that you can't judge on a single outing.
