I got 312 once, but it was a peace game (no wars = more culture). My highest proper score is 225 (although I didn't win that game, I lost by over 50 culture); my highest proper winning score is only 215

General Discussion / Re: World Cup - Brazil 2014

« on: December 08, 2013, 08:04:54 pm »

the game was one kick away from having the Keepers take penalties, something I have always wanted to see

In South America, the goalkeepers often take the 6th penalty in a penalty shootout, which I find a bit weird. Also, according to wikipedia, a Brazilian goalkeeper has scored 112 goals- 59 free kicks and 53 penalties! (I believe the 53 penalties do not include penalties taken in penalty shootouts)

Goko Dominion Online / Re: So... When is dominion going to be in the App Store?

« on: October 12, 2013, 11:43:43 am »

We were told by Kate Connally, the new CEO of Goko,  that in early September it would be available in the App Store. It's been over a month later and still no dominion Goko app.

One of the problems with Goko is that they set release dates, and then never actually release their products anywhere near this date. My guess would be Christmastime, if you're lucky, for release date.

Joseph2302 3-3 HiveMindEmulator

Game 1: http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130822/log.5062f3dc51c3843e7939eb9f.1377188308481.txt

Not convinced by the Mint/Squire opening here, and I did get quite lucky with minting golds twice (turns 10 & 13), ultimately my first turn advantage kept me ahead on VPs, so he couldn't end the game and win.

Game 2: http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130822/log.5062f3dc51c3843e7939eb9f.1377189157958.txt

Cultist was the main card here, with Border Village helping. I get some provinces, but his contraband stops him getting valuable cards, such as Rabbles and later Provinces. I get ahead and (quite easily) run out the Cultist pile to end the game.

Game 3: http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130822/log.5062f3dc51c3843e7939eb9f.1377189986539.txt

Ambassador game, with Junk Dealer & Tactician as other main cards. I buy an altar, which doesn't do much, and my ventures were a bit hit and miss (like they tend to be), ultimately was close but won on a last tactician turn by him.

Game 4: http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130822/log.5062f3dc51c3843e7939eb9f.1377190772127.txt

Another ambassador game, I counterfeit my coppers away, whilst he uses armory/plaza- seemed to work quite well, as coin tokens can be saved. He also gets more HoPs, which help him eventually win on a big last turn, coming from behind.

Game 5: http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130822/log.5062f3dc51c3843e7939eb9f.1377192370078.txt

I open Silver/Remake, which I think is better here than Smugglers/Remake, as it's essentially a big money board. Just a big money + remake/jester, which I win.

Game 6: http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130822/log.5062f3dc51c3843e7939eb9f.1377192809105.txt

Such a close decider, unfortunately I lose by a point.
He goes for many Noble Brigs, whilst I buy an early Apprentice, his Torturer wasn't even used, and was eventually trashed. Greening including tunnels (to block NBs) starts, and I eventually lose narrowly, after a well-calculated last turn by HiveMindEmulator to win.

Thanks for the games, and so close, a good "shared victory".

Note: When writing this, I hadn't read the writeup of HiveMindEmulator about our games...

Remake isn't great on a Poor House board.

Game 1: Definitely got lucky drawing at the end, and won on turns, but was an interesting game.
Game 2: Was massively surprised that torturers worked so well, maybe should have taken a curse or 2 rather than discarding, but hey hindsight is a wonderful thing and good strategising.
Game 3: Probably should have gone for steward not lookout, it was the main difference in our strategies, and I lost.
Game 4: Having not played butcher much, it was interesting to see it work, and was a fun card to use.
Game 5: Definitely wouldn't have gone remake if I'd seen poor house on the board, a massive error on my part.
Game 6: Another fun game, and it appears that planning Marauder/Soothsayer worked well here. A close game, but running down the FG to 1 was definitely regrettable when he took the lead.

Thanks for the games and your patience when I was late, when we had to restart games to get turn order correct many times, and when Goko gave us exactly the same board twice (this was very strange!!). Good luck for the rest of the tournament.

In, however I'm interested in the details.(specifically the time of day)

Each round lasts a full week; you choose a time with your opponent for each round.

Will there be some protocol if people are away for a whole week? I'm away for 8 days in August, and would prefer not to lose by default that week.
