Awesome tips & vid! The way Luca explains "set up other players to deny tiles" is so next level haha
@nimrod06 15 күн бұрын
I don't like the first advice. It's a gamble whether you can finish the T3, if your opponent is paying attention. Also, 5/20 of T3s are 7s, 5/20 is 73s, and 5/20 is 363. There is no rush in getting good T3s - random draw also leads to a high chance of getting a good T3 if you managed your reserved slots well. And your opponent can't really stop you from what you are doing since it is hidden. T2 that guarantees doability, and good T2 is also efficient in developing engine. Also, good T2 are more rare compared to good T3s. So reserving good T2 is my favorite strategy.

I’m not really understanding what you mean by a 2 x 6 for the base from watching … each tile counts as ond I assume bug is there a specific pattern of connection your trying to connect t them at the bottom … a straight line etc? Any help would be great cause I just started playing and am getting crushed. Thanks much.
@boardgametotears 18 күн бұрын
@skepticalthomas4088 The 2x6 base are the tiles that will be covered if you are going for a stack 4 tiles high. This means 2 rows hexes that are next to each other 6 hexes long. However, this strat seems to not work as well for me lately. There is a new spread out meta that uses blue more that seems effective.

I've read conflicting strategy advice on so called "hate drafting" where you reserve a card to deny your opponent a chance to reserve said card. If I understand the champ in this video, he's saying this is NEVER a winning strategy. Am I understanding right? Trying to grasp Splendor at higher level play so my wife stops kicking my butt

In a 4-player game specifically - because you're only denying one player, maybe two, and wasting a turn vs the others. It's probably viable in 2-player play, maybe dubious/obscure in 3-player, in 4 player it's unlikely to be optimal.

It sounds like shes got great strategies for 3-4 player games. Most carcassonne national championships exclusively play the game competitively as 2-player game, and its the same for the Carcassonne world championships. These strategies won't always work there, as the game works very different for 2-player

Never heard of WSBG, but it sounds fun to try and really compete (for once, I'm such a carebear 😅). What about solo or co-op games? If you take a less lucky one, and play a few times to mitigate bad luck, I could see that being cool, especially with an audience. There are times playing Warp's Edge that my heart is my throat, and I'd love to hear a crowd gasp at my bag draw.
@boardgametotears Жыл бұрын
The WSBG is a great time! Also, I have played in a coop and solo board game competition before. I competed in Pandemic a couple times over Zoom during the pandemic. Everyone had the same cards drawn each round by a moderator. Not sure this in the scope of WSBG but I will research where you can do other competitions this way.

Interesting that minus 3 is advantageous but minus 4 is too much to risk. I guess you gotta draw the line somewhere. i dont mind taking 1 or 2 points off but i generally stay away from 3 in a single round.
@boardgametotears Жыл бұрын
The negative scoring jumps from -2 to -4 on the floor. I will take more negative points to get the tiles I need or to deny them from someone if those tiles are crucial but you have to count to see if those negative points are worth it.
@barnacles8037 2 ай бұрын
The other thing to consider is that only having 2 tiles on the 5 row ties up that row and requires at least two turns in the next round to fill in the remaining three. By contrast three tiles in the 5 row likely only requires one turn to get the other two to complete the row. Even still you are tying up the 5 row for at least two rounds in this situation and if you could use the row better in a different way -4 points may not be all that much to overcome to keep your options open.
