Castles of Burgundy Gameplay Rank #1 vs Rank #2 (with Pistol Star)(Board 9)

[@kevintheplantman]

Great stuff! I'm still in the 100s of CoB and all your content has been quite helpful. I feel like my overall scores are getting higher, and the wins are hopefully close to follow.

19:42 Wrong. In case, we take 3 boats, we still must play a boat before our opponent, so they still can stay 1st player for D1. 21:32 Wrong. In case we roll 3 3, we still have to pay the maximum of 3 workers to secure both boats, which we would pay regardless. The average cost of taking 2 tiles from 1 and 4 is 1.94 workers. With our boosted Castle joker (tile 11), we reduce the average cost of getting both boats to 0.92 workers, thus saving us 1.02 workers + more afterwards, because we will not have to continue as often with a clogged hand. 31:42 Wrong. The move we played was probably the best, because if we (must) delay our boat until D5, we can not place our castle. Our opponent can then in E1 take a castle, place a castle and gain 8 points instead of 5 points for their castle, while our castle would be reduced from 10 points to 5 points. So that would cost us a total of 8 points and extra workers. With a black market boat in E1, they can use their extra castle action to place their black market boat, which would be another 6 free points for them. So not placing the boat in D3 would be a blunder. We are clearly winning, so we just have to play safe.

Please i ask to you a big question where i can see the stadistics of diferent games on bga?

[@NoWondersTV]

Hi David. There's 2 different places, but I'm fairly sure you need to be a premium member to see them. After you finish a game on the game results page you can scroll down a little bit to see the stats for that game. On your profile where it has your ELO and win rates under each game is a link to "My statistics for this game".

I had to report Forza Binda recently - he came on and began to insult because he could only manage a draw against my 8 year old daughter who has only played a few times. There is something clearly wrong with him

[@NoWondersTV]

I think he does have a bad reputation as being rude, which is a shame because he's still a very good player. Hopefully the report is resolved quickly

Forza Binda is a complete asshole. I've played him multiple times over the years and when he's behind he always blames it on his opponent receiving special treatment from paying for BGA Premium (something he doesn't pay for). I wish he was banned from the platform.
