:violet-meeple: Leven 122 - 161 Adror :yellow-meeple:

first game for me in this world cup took place. nice expansions, cool game. thanks Leven for playing spontaneously today.
controlling the majority on the main farm by connecting some small farmers always one step ahead before Leven could do, was the key for success. and of course luckily drawing some good tiles here and there.

OK, will try to catch you then.

By that time I had my first game on this Cup, vs. Chooselife.
254:147.

At the beginning we were very even, but then, along with the fight for the main farm, I started to get away with points. Two cathedral cities and big city in the middle helped me much with it. After I connected my big meeple to the main farm, I relaxed a little bit, but Chooselife fought till the end, fortunately I luckily drew some tiles to prevent his tries to equalize the main farm.
Good game, Chooselife, and good luck with the rest of your games!

I was highly benefited by the fact that BabyGamer didn't really know some of these expansions. But now that she has some experience in them she will have better chances in her remaining games. At least I hope so. :)

Playing against you is a learning experience for most people! And you're right, it has been a while since she last took part in one of our tournaments...

MrNumbers vs. Adrornalin
181:128

And again, this game was all about the huge farm. I admit, that I was extremely lucky with connecting new farmers to it. If I remember correctly, all my placed additional farmers were connected just in the second turn after placing! At the beginning Adrornalin took away a big city from my phantom with his big meeple, then trapped my big meeple in the nearby city and got first 6 (!) Festival tiles, so I couldn't get back any of my trapped meeples! I decided to concentrate on the main farm and started above described procedure. Adror collected himself only when 12 tiles left in the bag, and it was too late to recover.
Good and very eve game, if we don't count the farm :) Good luck with outstanding games, Adrornalin! 8)
