Back home, and back to five players this week.

Game 1

Sam New Ventrue > Geoff Malk Bleed > Stevan FoS Bleed > Nick Lasombra Bleed/Vote > Paul Tempting Succubus.

A rapid start from everyone as they surged forward with the stealth bleed. Unfortunately for Stevan he had no bounce and little intercept and was quickly ousted. Nick also surged forward putting lots of pressure on Paul who was also ousted. Meanwhile I had built up considerable votes, and started to push forward myself. Geoff fell quite quickly, and it became a two player struggle where my additional minions helped swing it my way.

Win
Sam 3vps GW, Geoff 1vp, Nick 1vp, Paul 0vp, Stevan 0vps.

Game 2

Geoff Malk Bleed > Paul Tempting Succubus > Stevan Assamite Toolbox > Nick Lasombra Bleed/Vote > Sam Mexican Sisters

With a quick switch of seating and decks we started off. This time I tried to bring out the usual hordes of Sisters, which worked well in the low intercept environment. What didn’t work so well was the lack of defence, and Nick quickly ousted me. Stevan struggled with conflicting cards, but put up a strong defence. Geoff went forward, while Paul finally pulled out some Succubi to do his dirty work. Stevan was ousted by a wave of Tempted minions, while Nick pushed through Geoff - Nick was again in the final two. Both players pushed on, but the stealth and big bleed of Nicks minions won through.

Win
Nick 4vps GW, Paul 1vp, Geoff 0vps, Sam 0vsp, Stevan 0vps.

Total: 16 Games (13 GW, 3 Draw)

A couple of changes of position, although Paul still has a substantial lead.

Next week (16th April) Steve should be around, so should have around six players as Kieran and Richard are away, and Graham is still tied up. If Andy can get some transport then perhaps he can get off the bottom of the table.
