    I've read conflicting strategy advice on so called "hate drafting" where you reserve a card to deny your opponent a chance to reserve said card. If I understand the champ in this video, he's saying this is NEVER a winning strategy. Am I understanding right? Trying to grasp Splendor at higher level play so my wife stops kicking my butt

    • @blumousey
      @blumousey หลายเดือนก่อน

      In a 4-player game specifically - because you're only denying one player, maybe two, and wasting a turn vs the others. It's probably viable in 2-player play, maybe dubious/obscure in 3-player, in 4 player it's unlikely to be optimal.

    It sounds like shes got great strategies for 3-4 player games. Most carcassonne national championships exclusively play the game competitively as 2-player game, and its the same for the Carcassonne world championships. These strategies won't always work there, as the game works very different for 2-player

    Tigris & Euphrates is the modern game I've so often wished was globally competitive. Noted for its intensity, variability and depth, and compared to traditional games, I think its suitability for competition is even part of what puts some people off from playing it casually

    • @boardgametotears

      Reiner Knizia said in a recent interview that it is getting a reprint. I'm hoping that will help the game become more popular in the competitive scene. They do have it at the World Board Gaming Championships in Pennsylvania though.

  • @gillcaz
    @gillcaz ปีที่แล้ว

    Never heard of WSBG, but it sounds fun to try and really compete (for once, I'm such a carebear 😅). What about solo or co-op games? If you take a less lucky one, and play a few times to mitigate bad luck, I could see that being cool, especially with an audience. There are times playing Warp's Edge that my heart is my throat, and I'd love to hear a crowd gasp at my bag draw.

    • @boardgametotears
      @boardgametotears ปีที่แล้ว

      The WSBG is a great time! Also, I have played in a coop and solo board game competition before. I competed in Pandemic a couple times over Zoom during the pandemic. Everyone had the same cards drawn each round by a moderator. Not sure this in the scope of WSBG but I will research where you can do other competitions this way.

    Interesting that minus 3 is advantageous but minus 4 is too much to risk. I guess you gotta draw the line somewhere. i dont mind taking 1 or 2 points off but i generally stay away from 3 in a single round.

    • @boardgametotears
      @boardgametotears ปีที่แล้ว

      The negative scoring jumps from -2 to -4 on the floor. I will take more negative points to get the tiles I need or to deny them from someone if those tiles are crucial but you have to count to see if those negative points are worth it.
