Actually getting my armies to where they needed to be to win the game was a slog. Most of the time wasted just getting around. To the point that I see this game more lost by Marignon than won by me. Mari had 3 thrones and was pretty much adjacent to the last 2 but never made a move. Despite finishing research quickly. Even if I saw the winning attempt there was no way for me to deny one of their thrones before they won. At least that's how I saw it.
