We're playing a game on the forum and I need a place to document it. Here seems best!

Game Kill the King: Pin vs DaWizard (in progress)
Played online through diagrams.
Quick recap: all rulles of the recruitment phase
- For the recruitment phase we have 11 points to buy balls. The cost of a ball is equal to the number on the ball. The King is free.
- Balls can only be placed on your own half of the table.
- The 8 is a neutral ball and is placed in the center.
- The last player to place a ball does NOT start.
- If you don't spend all your points you can reorder your recruitment queue (balls that have not been recruited). If you don't have a point to spend, they're sorted in numerical order from weak to strong.
Before placing our first ball we messaged our ref Tomatoshooter which ball is the Assassin (=a secret Kingslayer.)
Behind the link are the remaining points noted for each player.
Pin: 11 - 3 - 6 - 0 - 2 = 0 points left
Neither of us has points left to reorder our reservist queue and Pin is to start, since I was the last player that placed a ball.
So that concludes the recruitment phase, and that got us to this position:
View attachment 697345
From here on the player has two options:
1) make a shot (preferably pot an enemy ball or shoot balls in a more favorable position)
2) recruit the first ball in line from the reservist queue (Pin places his on the right half, I place mine on the left)
