something like that can be expected from the “Master of Heavy Games” (what a nice and catchy appellation by Snotty) 
LOL
ah, no, TM is nothing but just another light Euro, right?
haha, just kidding 
serious: i did not expect to win, but i knew i could stage a strong finish.
a 3rd town and a nice bonus tile were a good foundation, but key was to set you back for 6 points in the temple and to win 9 last-minute-points in those sacred halls.
there are players who say TM would be a “simultaneously played solitaire”.
what a nonsense!
fierce competition all the way through and always trying to outguess opponents.
can it be that TM is “the one game to rule them all”?
btw i would give a little finger for a digital Gaia Project!
