My first game. With subterfuge Being advertised as a game of betrayal, I did exactly that to BOTH my allies (who were not allies at the time) by stealing reds mine, then blues mine.
Problem was I didn't realize how long neptunium takes to accumulate, nor did I realize my actions would unite these two players against me.
What took place was truly terrifying (at the time) as I had to fight solo to hold reds mine, then decided to martyr blues mine because I couldn't hold it. Seeing Red gift his other mine just to help blue beat me made me regret my actions. The game went from cheerful conversation and Intel, to cold silence.
I won the game. Just. I hit 200nep with blue stalled at 195 after his mine blew. But i snatched that gold medal with bloodied hands. I literally had trouble sleeping for a few nights knowing I had betrayed two people for selfish ambition. Nearly didn't play a second game...
Moral of the story: if you have solid alliances, don't betray. A 2nd or 3rd is more honorable, and you won't lose sleep.
Ps. The movie and best selling book of this story is due out in fall.
