I guess I'm going to do post-game comments in here since that is where most of us were at the end.

I can't believe that we didn't win Sparta on the day we won Athens. I think one issue we had early in the game is that we did not commit to which two cities we were going to win. On Day 4 we did commit to Athens and Sparta, while discarding Hades, based on our actions. But we had already had Danny use the Duke to throw a wolf down to Hades, which clearly was not a good move if we were trying to win Sparta.

Very, very winnable game for the wolves:
Small Game #1 (Athens): 6 villagers, 2 wolves, 1 sympathizer, no bodyguard or seer. We messed up the duke election, effectively giving away that weapon

Small Game #2 (Sparta): 7 villagers, 3 wolves, wolf duke

Disappointing defeat, all in all. I thought the villagers (especially Chief Rum and Lathum) played well in Athens and forced us to get creative down the stretch after some less-than-perfect early play.

Guess I'll read the Sparta thread at some point to see how it matches up with the accounts I got from Danny/Heinz/Jackal.
