's what happened to me a few days ago: I won the tournament
Brass
the Lair of the Goblin!
If you've read the report some time ago
remember a game session held at my house where I was beating the crazy variable Tuna. Having learned the lesson I boldly launched into the maw of Tana players, always among the toughest you can find on the net. I had a lot of experience behind the game, just a couple of games online to learn the rules and a couple live with those little fellows of flow (eh, eh, eh) and in fact in the first elimination round and I remedied third a second place for the skin of our teeth ending in the middle of the circle that gave access to two places in the final. Incredibly
in two games of the second phase are able to put what I thought was a winning strategy that is no longer to build cotton mills, which combined can lead to the ports (in fact) a lot of points. And so on in full by the final round in the company of the strongest players I've ever met (and I do not tell a joke, it's true ... try it).
so begins my two group matches and look at my opponent I get goose bumps. Avoid the last place is my minimum goal with these Marple I do not think you have no escape ... and so I begin with what I do: cotton mills / ports. Except that it is better to initially develop the buildings at the top level so as to place tiles that remain on the map even at the stage of the railways in order to generate points twice. Play two games at the same time requires a lot of clarity and sometimes one gets confused on the strategies and moves made so I try to go as far as possible with the same moves in both races. noted that practically makes me even my opponents are trying to implement a strategy similar to mine, and in some cases are even more ahead of me, that I hesitated to build mines and steel mills to meet the demand for raw materials, we need a change of course .... I decide to drop the cotton mills and choose the alternative: the complete line of steel on one side and try to do the same using other heavy borrowing (as opposed to my principles as the loan is in fact lose a move). At the end of the respective phases of the channels I find myself with a decent score more or less the same level of my opponents, but with a slight advantage: all, or nearly so, my cards will remain on the map by bringing as many points at the end of the game. Point and then to build the shipyard, giving 18 points to ensure the card, but require careful timing and two or three moves to be able to build them, with the danger that opponents might hinder the whole. I work too (see the large capital with which they are invoking the debt) to make the building more rail magnate and possible routes in the most profitable. Other meanwhile battling to build ports and cotton mills and just ignore me .... when they find stolen I am to win is too late!
In the first game almost having a monopoly of the railways, I can also build a shipyard (the other me cunningly block), but arriving exhausted at the end. They have no money and missing two rounds (practically do nothing and watch the others), the opponents go back but can not displace the first place: it's done! I won the game! In the second things get complicated: I have sgam
and the two shipyards that build I wanted to be blown out from under the nose of my fiercest opponents. Opto then to swell the rail and I dedicate myself to the completion mines and steel mills that building on those opponents prezioni taking away points. At the end victorious and I find myself amazed: I just crushed the competition with the mines, steelworks and not even build a port, a cotton mill or a construction site. Second victory and the trophy awarded with merit!
I have to say that Brass amazed me for the way you can change tactics and race through the streets leading to the victory that they are well balanced and varied. I thought that the strategy of combined cotton mills to the ports were the most successful and instead I was wrong.
Now if you want to challenge the
Champion Brass 2009/2010 Lair of the Goblin
get in line.
