Title: Valheru's session reports
Post by: Valheru on February 25, 2016, 03:34:15 PM

Because it was just one game, and I don't want to open a topic each time, I decided to make a general topic on my 'sessions'.

First one is a one game session with two others, using only the base game. I was stupid enough to take the overview photograph after the counting, so there are just a few meeples still standing (mine, being red). Sorry about that.

The placement of the river made sure there were trapping possibilities. I've noticed that I've learned a lot these past months regarding trapping and farming and was determined to use these new things in a realtime game. I succeeded pretty well. My friend playing yellow got trapped with 3 meeples in total (one on the c-river-c-river tile and one on the adjacent road). Both because of my tile-placement. +1 for you guys on the trapping tips!

Next was the farming. The main farm on the well of the river was claimed by my friend Black. I succeeded in joining the farm on the bottom of the screen. Next was the total control of the farm. It looked like a friendly hand on the big city (controlled by yellow) but I managed to connect the farm yet again and claim it for my own.  Again +1 for this forum on the farming tips!

While I was pretty confident during the game that I would win this (I looked in total control), yellow suddenly emerged (with 3 meeples down!) as a threat. The big city on the left got finished and was worth a smashing 34 points. The big city on the right didn't get finished and was shared by the three of us. With some cloisters and long roads for yellow as well, I was starting to doubt my winning possibilities. Luckily, I managed to win in the end with just 2 points!

Played a game of Guillotine as well tonight. What a fun game that is!
