KOing your teammate

[August700212]

OK, I can not sleep so I will give more details about my first team adventure. (warning, memories are not 100% accurate and details may change depending on which person tells the story.)

Li, Jacques and Alexander were playing against Jake, Dr. Z. and Sharon. Jacques' team was hit with the card that required +2 fortune to win the game during the first turn making our win target 38. I hate Jacques. his bonuses do not warrant a +2 fortune penalty per teammate plus no sidekicks!

Jacques and Li did a great job acquiring artifacts. Alexander was targeted with every evil event card from the other team and spent must of the time KO'd and unable to help in adventures. When our team was at 15 fortune the group decided to use 20 for the victory condition instead of 30 due to time restrictions.

Alexander was able to make his first contribution to the team by meeting Jake in Los Angeles to steal his artifact and then sell it for 4 fortune bring our team up to 28 (enough to win now we need to get to anyone's home).

The next round Li made it to Rio and Alexander was KO'd as normal. This time it was due to a fight with something in an empty space. The other team was able to get to 21 fortune with Sharon in Moscow and Jake and Dr. Z. in Los Angeles. Jacques was equal movement between Rio and Hong Kong but did not roll enough to get there so he picked Rio as his destination. As he moved through a jungle space Li hit him with Malaria trying to KO him and get him to a starting city. He did not get KO'd but ended his move in an artifact location were he adventured. This at first sounded good because he could keep pushing it until he failed then we realized that the other team had enough to win and was only 2 spaces from a starting city. If he gets stuck in a cliffhanger it will be an automatic win for the other team. Luckily he ran across Nazis with flame throwers and was KO'd during his adventure giving our team the win with 28 fortune to 21.
