Guess who's another year older!!!

Basically Yup.

Meh, played again tonight and started to play more by the rules and lost to my brother. By the end of set up we just had the rule book to look up confusing shit and continued to mostly play by our own rules for it.

Sounds good.

No, first play through last night or on the 21(different time zones whatever), I ended up with 7 castles and strong holds. Tonight's(the 22nd) game lasted to the full ten rounds though like I side we were playing by our own rules and doing each order token group was done all at once instead of for example one march token per player at a time... if that makes any sense.
