Second game of the night: Torres! This is fast becoming a favourite of ours, apparently. We didn't build any huge castles this time around, which made things a bit tight for all of us. There was one interesting move at the end... We have this castle of area 5, and Tony was standing on level 4, with a level 5 space right next to it. I wanted to block Tony from going to that level 5 space, so I placed two blocks, one to enlarge the castle by one so that I can use the other to increase the level 5 space to 6. Then I thought, what if Tony had a "jump 2 levels" card? So I placed another two blocks, one to enlarge the castle once again so that I can use the other to increase the level 6 space to 7. Surely that would be ok now. Unfortunately, what I forgot was that Tony might have the "door-to-door elevator" card, and he did. So his knight on level 4 jumped down, added 2 blocks to the level 4 space to make it level 6, used the elevator card to move the knight into the level 6 space, then easily moved up to level 7. Oops...me bad. So by doing this, I lost 4 blocks, and I couldn't increase my score much, hence I lost. Even with this move Tony wasn't able to move ahead much, so he finished last, meaning that Zhentao won.

Final scores:
After phase 1: Me 34, Tony 28, Zhentao 31.
After phase 2: Me 100, Tony 81, Zhentao 101.
After phase 3: Me 216, Tony 197, Zhentao 226.
