I got dominated by Smugglers on this board. In hindsight, it seems like it is just a good card here, but who knows, I'm sure I played badly in several ways here. My hopeless last ditch effort was to buy lots of VP and hope Silk Road could save me, but all of that just got Smuggled too...
So...
Is Smugglers a key card here?
and
If so, any pointers on how to identify what type of board vaults it out of the trash tier and into relevance? (No key terminals to compete with it?)
