<p>I had?almost completely given up this game of Colosseum after a hideous second round, which had netted me only 14 points. I?passed a whole turn without a cent to my name, there was no way I could win.</p>
<p>When suddenly, I?managed to buy &#8220;Mare Spielbergum&#8221;, and everything came together. I had stars, I had a huge colosseum, I had season tickets!</p>
<p>I rode high for turns III and IV. I was doing the impossible, I was winning! In turn V, the end, I made my final production with 71 points.</p>
<p>Then, out of nowhere, Casper starts put on an amazing show. I was sweating every second, until&#8230; she came&#8230; one point short! One measly point! She rested at 70.</p>
<p>I had it made&#8230;?until Pottse and VitaminZ started doing the math. Pottse was out, way out. But Z had a chance. Slim, but a chance.</p>
<p>So, Pottse, being the martyr that he is, sacrificed himself to position the nobles for Z&#8217;s next turn.</p>

<p>Final tally&#8230; 72 for Vitamin Z, and the win. Stolen.</p>
