Well, seems the main option would be: Drive to Karachi, Drive to Riyadh, Treat, Drive to Karachi (to ensure I have enough moves to cure yellow next turn if I don't draw a fifth card - Delhi, Miami, Get Card, Cure).

Any better ideas?

Tables · « **Reply #252 on:** December 31, 2012, 01:42:35 pm »

What about driving to Cairo as your last action, able to build a research centre there the next turn?

mith · « **Reply #253 on:** December 31, 2012, 01:47:23 pm »

Yeah, that's probably better... might make things a little bit tighter with the cards? But probably worth it.

Tables · « **Reply #254 on:** December 31, 2012, 02:22:03 pm »

Hmm... yeah. I think it probably is though, especially as Cairo is pretty much the only other city to be really concerned about.

mith · « **Reply #255 on:** December 31, 2012, 03:29:52 pm »

Alright, let's do this...

1. Drive to Karachi
2. Drive to Riyadh
3. Treat
4. Drive to Cairo

mith · « **Reply #257 on:** December 31, 2012, 05:20:35 pm »

Discard Madrid and Tehran.

Tables · « **Reply #258 on:** December 31, 2012, 06:32:09 pm »

What do we want me to do? Something I can do is double treat LA then fly to Milan and treat that... doesn't cost me any cards and leaves me in position to treat Black some more next turn.

Tables · « **Reply #259 on:** December 31, 2012, 06:33:12 pm »

Maybe flying to Mumbai and moving to Cairo and treating it once would be better? We can have an epidemic next turn at the earliest.

mith · « **Reply #260 on:** December 31, 2012, 06:37:38 pm »

Davio is well positioned to come my way (Mexico City card can be discarded at will, Cairo-Riyadh-Karachi-Delhi cleans up the area quite a bit). I think the Milan plan is better.

mith · « **Reply #261 on:** December 31, 2012, 06:40:05 pm »

Actually, if we want to gamble a bit that Davio won't draw the Epidemic (or that Riyadh won't come up if he does), he could fly to Milan, get the card from you, and then drop down to Cairo. Puts him in prime position to cure blue.

Tables · « **Reply #262 on:** December 31, 2012, 07:46:45 pm »

Yes, I quite like that. If it doesn't work out, no big loss.

Treat disease
Treat disease
Fly to Milan

I'll try my best. But it's not under my control.

mith · « **Reply #266 on:** December 31, 2012, 11:28:41 pm »

Meh.

With both of you on three blue, we could play it safe (and Davio run around the black triangle) and wait to see how the draws come out.

I think Davio getting the Milan card is still the right play, just because we're getting to the point where we're going to need to take some risks to get to the cures. But it's close. (If he draws the Epidemic, I'll have to put off curing again (which sucks), but if he doesn't, I think it's worth the risk for me to go ahead and cure yellow and then hop to Jakarta and pick that up to get to four red.)

Davio · « **Reply #267 on:** January 01, 2013, 04:40:20 am »

But I can only receive the card on Tables' turn right?

The transfer knowledge action doesn't let me just grab a card, correct?
This means I need to end my turn in Milan and I could something like:

Fly to Riyadh (discard Mexico City)
Drive to Cairo
Drive to Istanbul
Drive to Milan

Like I said, you guys haven't had the best luck drawing cards (except against me of course).

Mwuhahahahahahaha.

You can grab a card with share knowledge.

Davio · « **Reply #270 on:** January 01, 2013, 01:56:17 pm »

I didn't know that, reading the rules I would think it would only go one way.

In that case, I'm going to:
Charter Flight to Milan (discard Mexico City)
Share Knowledge (get Milan card)
Drive to Istanbul
Drive to Cairo (remove 1 cube)

Davio (Containment Specialist) draws Special Orders, Bangkok
Special Orders During this turn, the current player may move one other player's pawn (with permission) as if it were his own.

Rapid Vaccine Deployment Play immediately after a cure is discovered to remove up to 5 cubes of the cured disease. These cubes must come from connected cities.

Davio (Containment Specialist), please discard a card.
mith (Archivist) is next.

Tables · « **Reply #272 on:** January 01, 2013, 10:43:41 pm »

okay so I guess if I ended my turn on Algiers, Davio could give that to me and then I have 3 Black, which kinda gives us a workable plan:

Mith - Yellow, Red
Davio - Blue
Tables - Black.

In fact if Mith were to use special orders, he could give me Cairo right now, but that'd delay getting the Yellow cure one more turn.

Right now, I think Davio should probably discard Bejing, since it seems pretty out of the way, but any of the reds seems acceptable. We've already drawn 9/12 red cards, though...

Tables · « **Reply #273 on:** January 01, 2013, 10:47:31 pm »

Oh and just in case anyone noticed, I screwed up the infection card piles - there was no London (it was the player card Davio drew with the Epidemic, I accidentally saw London and added it)

Davio · « **Reply #274 on:** January 02, 2013, 02:32:50 am »

Discard Bangkok

I don't have Beijing.
