Mafia Game Threads / Mafia 43: Debate 2.2 (PNK vs. ICs): Rebuild is overpowered.

« on: May 30, 2014, 03:45:05 am »

As part of a forum mafia game, we are having a debate!

EFHW will argue for the subject.
Andrew will argue against the subject.

Each player will make one, and only one, post for their argument.  Afterward, I will open a poll for anyone to vote.

Thanks!


P.S. - this was going to be in RSP, but I expect howls of indignation.  Bonus argument: RSP posters are way too sensitive.  Both players may argue for the subject.

Game Reports / In which I finally "get" Vineyard...

« on: February 04, 2014, 10:25:39 pm »

Log: http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20140201/log.5138dd69e4b0cd4b5a40d1ac.1391254871600.txt

Code: [Select]

Vineyard, Courtyard, Black Market, Steward, Wishing Well, Plaza, Apprentice, Catacombs, Contraband, Explorer, Upgrade
So this ends up being great for Vineyard, and I'm helped by my opponent not contesting them.  I didn't even buy a Potion until Turn 10.

I get some Black Market luck to grab Goons, Merchant Guild, and Margrave for +buys.  In the end, 10 Wishing Wells, half the Plazas, and a bunch of random actions from the Black Market deck add up.  I think Marauder was a mistake for my opponent, who gave me 6 actions to boost my Vineyard VPs via Ruins.  If I hadn't trashed a Courtyard to Apprentice for draw early, I would have had 12-point Vineyards.

Seems like 25 turns is long, though, but maybe that's because he didn't contest?
