Ark Nova | Using Early Determination For... Tempo?!

[@kaikulimu]

The second game is a perfect display of how strong release projects are

BDWSSBB is a goddamn genius. That determination play won game.

[@NoWondersTV]

Yeah, I'm starting to think he's pretty good!

@31:40 I want to wait on assoc for one turn and draw panda/panda.

[@NoWondersTV]

Yeah I think that could have worked out pretty well. Like generally you would prefer to have Association higher than Cards, so it's a "bad tempo" move that you won't often find higher rated players make. Being able to play the Panda is a guaranteed way to close out the game which could make the tempo loss worth it. At the same time BDW doesn't have Asia partner zoo... so maybe not.

[@danielmdubois]

@@NoWondersTV FWIW, I think "bad tempo" plays would be a good idea for a strategy/educational video. Or, more broadly, a video that covers common mistakes/traps that "Strong" (i.e., not "Expert"/"Master") players will make. Have you ever done subscriber replay reviews?

I feel dwarvintime should have cause break unlike building his four size, could win the race to 10 money and uni no? 52:12

[@NoWondersTV]

It is the most interesting part of the game. Causing the break does guarantee him the 10 money and uni, but it also means he will never be able to release the Alligator because the America release project will fly off the board. Causing the break also slows him down because now he has to build an enclosure in the next round instead of this round. Strong arguments either way
