I'm just trying to make myself feel better about this situation
After several failed attempts and 1 success at Chapter 1 with my family, they're not as interested in continuing soon as I am.
So. I've gone off and started my own "parallel campaign". There I was, my first solo game of M&M.
Almost 2 hours in, I'm just within reach of success in Chapter 1. I even have Miz Maggie's Ally token!
I'm on the Courtyard tile, and there are no minions remaining.
The hourglass is at Page 5 (where Page 6 is "The End").
There are 5 Cheese on the Wheel.
3 of my mice are safely sitting inside the tree.
The last in initiative order, Nez, is completely undamaged and 3 spaces away from victory.
...
and I roll a 1 for his movement. The slowpoke can only make it 2 spaces!!
The crow gives him an irrelevant love-bite.
But because I've hit the end of the round with no minions on the board, I would trigger a Surge, aka Game Over.
I decided that after all of this effort, and what looked like relatively smooth sailing, I would fudge things just a tiny bit and call it a win anyway.
What would you have done?
