Whelp, I 'won' in the Mulligan round of Bitter Woods and advanced to the second round tomorrow. My opponent was a very experienced player who is friends with Randy Heller (designer of Bitter Woods). He was gracious enough to coach me through the first couple turns. That combined with his ice cold die rolling allowed me to hold on for a win as the Americans. And I literally mean hold on. I don't think I made an attack all game. I fell back and denied him the victory hexes.

I have a feeling I am going to be squashed like a bug tomorrow morning.

The real upside is that Compass is offering pretty much all of it's current games at 50% off here at the Con. Looking at picking up Korea: Fire and Ice as well as South China Sea.

Wait, isn't Bitter Woods still in shrink on your table?
 >:D

Congrats and good luck tomorrow!  :bigthumb:

Timely response to the thread ;)

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

Don't change the subject. How'd you do? I may be the only one that doesn't know.

I bailed on the second game. The hotel had multiple false fire alarms on Friday night and then my eyeglasses broke about 45 minutes before the game was supposed to begin. So I was tired and grumpy and in no mood for 4 hours of me being crushed like a bug.

Bitter Woods is a really good game.

Bitter Woods is a really good game.

It is, but until you've played in a tournament with the designer and his long-time gaming buddies you really haven't played it  :D

Did you not have the feeling you were being toyed with, though?

Congrats, btw. I think I would have been way too intimidated, especially if the guy was coaching me through the first few turns.

Ice-cold die rolling is my specialty. That would have been on me.

He helped me get through the first 2-3 turns. His dice-rolling was so atrocious that he stopped helping me after that and I managed to hang on for the win  ;D
