the troll and the magic room? That's totally bonkers and rude. In that case I'll pick up the witch and the trap room.

Alright, might as well kibitz on overall play. Broken Loose has picked up first choice of room and first choice of monsters, and gets a card peek. Not a bad start at all for Year 1 Winter. Not sure I like the pairing of Troll+Recruitment though - it makes for a very hefty food drain in a Spring season where everyone has something of an incentive to slot Food. Istvun snagged second choice of three solid monsters and grabbed a room with a slot 1 play. An audacious move that paid off. The trick for Spring and Summer will be building out the rest of the engine to match, but the baseline is there. burger time is playing conservatively, assembling the resources needed for (hopefully) a stronger play later. 5 gold at end of Winter is quite solid, but future fortunes will depend on Monster+Room flips at the right time to make the raw resources go the distance. The initial Spring flip is... not that promising. Tekopo... reveals why I personally like to alternate Mine/Dig actions, rather than going both at the same time. At least Mine isn't locked, and there are options for later in the year (especially with some solid room buys, that can actually be placed in safe locations). All in all, though, gotta grade this as the least promising start of all four players.

Full disclosure: I haven't played this in literal years, while having been literally on the other side of the world when I did, so I'm probably rusty and absolutely appreciate people discussing how hosed players are or aren't. Personally I think everyone's being way too nice.

The first spell is Fireball. Mages are free. I'm in a good spot on the evilometer.

Bacon In A Wok posted:Alright, might as well kibitz on overall play. BL: Agreed, the magic room is very good but a Troll at this point is too pricey for me unless you're using him to staff a resource room. Using him to further deplete your food is pretty bold! I'd have taken the witch if forced to choose here, it's been a while since I played the base game but IIRC being evil is managable as long as you don't get a year 1 paladin. Istvun: The trap room is ok but requires a lot of imps for year 1 and is quite vulnerable without digging to put it at the back of your dungeon. Good chance Istvun won't get a room this season either, I'd have swapped reputation and room orders OR done something like reputation/rooms/imps because I think you should take 2 imps when they're practically guaranteed! BT: This looks most like what I would do - decide that the board sucks, wait for later. A little unlucky to get only 1 imp but mining is almost always worthwhile and getting your trap early helps a lot with planning. Tekopo: I'm interested to see how this pans out - it looks inefficient sure but Tekopo has mining available again and 5 imps, and digging is a required but kind of lovely action that's out of the way now. Hard to tell who came out best but it's clear that BL and Istvun have less stable positions right now. A lot will depend on whether BT and Tek can take advantage of that. Beffer posted:Also Special Event Rats. Rats is actually great for BLoose because it comes after payday, he'll have nothing to lose.

There are a lot of reasons why I took the actions that I chose, mostly due to my locked out choices. It was less efficient than possible but it was a safe play than some of the other things I considered.

Shouldn't we note that BL has 3 imps + troll instead of 4 imps? IIRC trolls can't dig or mine, just activate rooms, and dont count as imps for lots of other stuff. maybe mark it as 3T?

Tekopo and BT doing exactly what you'd expect - Hire Monster first means they can use it again next season, it costs a gold but they have plenty. They both put rooms last because it guarantees Istvun can't snipe a lower room spot. The middle has to be food if they want to ensure buying something other than a Troll. Broken Loose has to place food first and won't take Imps/Monster/Room. Reputation makes sense since he played it first last round and probably wants to avoid being the second-nicest player. Two-symbol thieves are the devil. Istvun had a bad round all up but I can see the thinking - no real need for food, doesn't want to use imps for digging or mining (they'll go in the trap room), and can't pick monsters or reputation. Comedy evil option is to go food first anyway just because it's likely to screw someone else over - a friend of mine would definitely have done that! Next round I think we'll see BL and Istvun pick up another room, probably some mining/traps/reputation from the other two. Hire Monsters will be interesting as everyone will have it available.

I would have been very interested in doing that, but I don't have a lot of gold to play with right now so I'd rather not buy the food, and landing the mint would have been a rather large coup for me.

I want the mint, to be clear, the room that goes in the bottom two rows and I'll put it at the back of my dungeon. I'll hire the troll. And I'll use the mint during production.
