Ahh, useless necros have been shooting blanks all game. Though, I think Infidel may be about to wrap the game up this turn, depends on how many true runes he is sitting on.

Good game! Now I can finally reveal my horrible objective condition:
The Giant’s Horde
If there are not any Giants in play during your turn, you may discard this card to gain 1 dragon rune.
Discard this card and draw a new Objective card if there were not at least 2 Giants in play at the start of the game.
So yeah, normally that one isn't so bad, unless someone actually recruits a giant and then sits on him until the game ends
Big thanks to Mr. Blarney for keeping this so coordinated despite how long the game went. I think the mechanics that make the game work so well on the table actually work against it somewhat in the PbP format.
Yeah, Runewars didn't transition to PbP format as well as I'd hoped. That's just how it goes sometimes, eh? Now to figure out if I should try running another Runewars game, or do a BSG game, or try thinking of something else to run...

I bet I can beat that, Kias:
Friends Indeed
If you are allied with at least 8 neutral units during your turn, you may discard this card to gain 1 dragon rune.

Next turn I was going to start doing the same thing, and just got a "turn in the reward card for a dragon rune" quest item.
Good game, Infidel! I wish some people had decided to oppose you more :-/
