Innovation Game Reports / Helicopter to the Rescue
« on: December 15, 2013, 04:22:43 am »
A game where I was on defense half the time, but somehow pulled off a victory.

http://innovation.isotropic.org/gamelog/201312/14/game-20131214-184004-356cfe0f.html

My Fermenting scheme got razed by Parachute, which in turn was nullified by sharing Railroad. I started over again, but that spared Cord enough time to grab six achievements. In turn 18, I had no choice but blindly melded a card with Experimentation, and, tah-dah, Helicopter.

Then I literally obliterated his board in one action, leaving only Bangle and City State as his top cards. As he struggled to find a way out of early age, I tried to get ahead in scores since my Helicopter gave him massive point lead, and just in time when he got 7 on his board, my Computer connected me to Globalization and there it is. What a game.

His last turn says it all. My score was over a hundred, so my opponent had to either do something with Jackie Chan or try to get ahead in scoring. Unfortunately, he chose the second option and, as you can see, his attempt to score backfired and gave him three unwanted achievements ([9], [Emp], and a solid flag) and "won" for a millisecond until my Jackie Chan blew his finishing move and stole it away. It was my first time drawing him, so I'd say that my win rate with Jackie Chan is 100%  ;D

Innovation Game Reports / Cell Phone
« on: June 22, 2013, 03:37:10 am »
Cell Phone is one of the cards that look cool but I never had a chance to try it out. I get to try it in this game, but it draws me only two cards for the first two times. Disappointing. Then my opponent is about to win next turn and Cell Phone is the only card on my board that seems useful at the time, so I give it another chance and, wow, four achievements in one action, as you can see from the image. However, it's not good enough since I'm behind in score and I need one more achievement to win by Self Service, so looking for all possible moves, my only hope is to achieve Heritage by tucking a blue card with Colonialism, and I made it.
