It also means that if we don't beat the Grail soon we'll get a bunch of Despairs back to back and probably never beat it.

[Kuildeous]

Our goal is to get more white swords than black. So, if we can get enough white swords in time, then catapult spam won't be an issue.

I dunno; I can understand the desire to keep catapults off our front lawn, but I wonder if this is too cautious. Then again, I've only played this game with a bunch of catapults, so maybe I was doing something wrong. I never played a game where someone advises against completing a quest, but it also took our group a while to figure out that Chapel does more than trash Curses.

Having the Grail at least means that someone can spare to lose 4 life to keep catapults away, but that doesn't seem like a good trade-off. The white swords and extra cards, however, would be nice.

It's worth checking out to see what's the worst that happens if we don't get the Grail. We slowed down the despair so that maybe the black swords won't come out from this quest. That's not too bad. But can we make up the number of white swords and extra cards by letting the Grail fall? It seems unlikely to me.

[Tables]

I'd rather have 6 despairs hit the grail than 6 siege engines, personally. We can keep putting down grails and doing other quests. We can't kill siege engines indefinitely. I guess we can merlin them... maybe...

[Jorbles]

Hm, okay, well I'm still not convinced those 3 white swords aren't worth it, but for now I will draw a black card.

[Tables]

Well, I'm no expert at the game. In my experience, it isn't worth it, and also in my experience, you generally want to finish multiple quests at once to end the game and avoid Siege Engines.

King Arthur Jorbles please perform an Heroic action. You may use your Special Ability if possible and sacrifice one Life Point to perform a second Heroic Action.

[Jorbles]

Pretty average Black Knight card I think. (I don't remember the distribution)

[Jorbles]

Hmm before we go on, I want to have everyone weigh in on whether or not we should beat the Grail quest because it will determine what I do this turn (who I trade with etc). That means I would like to hear from Eevee and bozzball before I go on.

[Eevee]

I couldnt find the most recent hand update from Qvist but I'm pretty sure I'll just be useless to anything but this excalibur thing. So I concede to your expertise.

[Jorbles]

It's not something that necessarily needs your help. I just want to know if you think it's a good idea or not. It's a debate of should we beat the Grail and embrace Siege Engine spam or should we abandon the Grail and focus on other tasks in order to avoid Siege Engines.

[Eevee]

Do we stand a chance of winning the excalibur? Would help with fighting the siege engines?

[Tables]

We could go focus efforts on Excalibur, but getting Excalibur will create more siege engines.

Hmm... we're at 3 swords.
Grail is 3
Excalibur is 2
Dragon is 2

We need to find 2 more swords of quests we care about, and then completing those three will win us the game. Maybe I've been a little too hasty in dismissing the grail... maybe we're getting towards victory. But I think we need a solid idea of our other two swords first.

[Jorbles]

Picts seems possible, Saxons and Black Knight aren't looking good right now though.

[Jorbles]

bozzball? I still want to hear from you. I think we should decide as a group whether we go for the Grail or not, and you haven't said anything yet.

[Jorbles]

Okay, I guess I've waited long enough though I still want to know what bozzball thinks. I am going to setup Kuildeous to help with the Grail so we can do it if we want to.

Play a Grail card.
Trade with Sir Gawain.

I offer you this card in return. It may shock you at first, but keep in mind that Sir Galahad could make better use of it than you or me.

Holy crap. I missed this not once, but twice. Bad knight!

I follow my liege, and this last exchange compels me to go to the Grail quest.

Lose one life to play a Grail.

If bozzball is awol can we replace him? I'd still like to finish this.

I searched for replacement already a couple of times. If you know who is willing to replace him, I'm more than glad to do that.
