Bab Bowl XXIX took place on April 25th, 2009. The Crusade expansion was used for a sixth time. This game used a deck size of 100 cards. As of Bab Bowl XXV, using a Crusade deck is optional.
Sean = Minbari (Delenn)
Simon = Humans (Clark)
JP = Centauri (Londo)
Final Score (Total points in all Bab Bowls in brackets)
JP = 28 (501)
Sean = 23 (473)
Simon = 16 (500)
The longest game in recent memory. Simon played a Clark/Shadow deck with Managed Growth as his agenda. JP replaced Londo with Councilor La'Shan and caused not small matter of headaches for all of us. I went with a Minbari / TechnoMage / Ranger strategy. JP started the Shadow War only to cancel it a few turns later. Quite the bold move.
Ranking (Major Victories, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in brackets)
Simon = 68 points (4-7-9-9)
JP = 63 points (3-5-12-9)
Sean = 58 points (1-8-9-11)

Basic Deck Building
Deck building is an art. It can seem great on paper but suck royally in a game. Your starting hand sets the tone for the entire game.
According to the rulebook, a starting hand can include the following cards:
Another philosophy is to add cards that can all be played quickly for maximum effect. Something in I did in Bab Bowl 23. I played all 4 cards in the first turn. Can't always do this, but it sure is fun to have an empty hand so quickly. However, you are now at the mercy of your deck and good cards coming out to continue your quest for victory.
