clearly deserved win anyway, I think I played too fast and recognized too late that tiles are running out. at that point I was two farmers behind and so the game was lost. MrNumbers discovered and occupied all farmer spots very well so even if I recognized sooner I guess chances were low to win

Very exciting and thrilling game. Almost the whole game I waited for rrrf tile to equalize the main farm, after that I thought the game was mine, but another danger came in: second farm grew almost as big as the main one, and there was a chance I could lose it. Fortunately, I drew the last fffr cloister tile.
Great and very enjoyable game! Thanks, Steve! Good luck the the rest of your games!

The final score of the game is not at all reflective of how close it was. I won the ...-point farm with the last tile of the game.
I can tell the same about my game vs Chooselife, except that it wasn't the last tile of the game but my last tile. The final PD is not really deserved, but we could already get used to huge farms in this World Cup group stage, and by winning that farm one can claim big victory.

Sorry Adror, but I was hoping to catch up with you on Thursday or Friday, but Christmas got in the way. We have visitors here for Christmas, and we are off on holiday to Barcelona for the new year ( while we are still allowed in Europe). I should, however, be available some time between the two, so I will PM you some suggestions when I know when I will be free.

By the way, I am blaming you for my bad form in this competition as we have broken with our tradition this time around!! I always play my first game against you in every competition...except this one!! It has brought me my bad luck, I believe.  >:D

ouch - I am sorry to have brought you bad luck. but after we have played our game, I believe your bad form suddenly will disappear and luck will return for the rest of the competition. (y)

 :blue-meeple: Chooselife 190  -  224 Adrornalin  :yellow-meeple:

That was close and very intense during the whole game with some ups and downs on both sides. Chooselife made more points in every category (although I could manage to close the cathedral city!) - except the farms. The winner tile I guess was the cfrr from I&C. It connected my double meeple on the big farm (which was closed then!) plus gave me points for a road with inn plus the opportunity to start another city with the phantom.

Thanks for that game Chooselife and good luck for all coming games in the WC!

Interesting game, with much luck from BabyGamer's side connecting the farmers (like my luck in game vs. Adrornalin). Despite of loss of main farm I balanced it with satellite farms.
