Mainly to stop Adam from getting it (he had St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica) but I was able to turn him into a point generator.  My second and third era leaders were not so good (William Shakespeare and Elvis Presley).  Fortunately, I was able to draw the assassinate leader card.  And discard it eventually when I didn&#8217;t think that my military would get up to strength.  Sadly, after that, Adam jumped out into the lead with Sid Meier.  I was only able to attempt a raid on him which he defended against.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen the game was in its last round, Adam declared war on me.  Usually, the defender gets a chance to respond and build up its defenses.  But not in this case.  And I had just spent my military in getting a +11 victory point colony.  Flawed!\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen the scoring was over, I was able to pip Marty by a couple of points for second place!
