This map, constructed by Uwe Gemming, is the smallest known map on which
five shares can be produced in 20 turns. It is hard to say whether or not it is
difficult
to match or break the record on this map. On one hand, the map was designed
to fit a particular strategy, so you might need to reproduce that exact
strategy to achieve the maximum score. On the other hand, the map might guide
you to the right strategy because everything is exactly in the right place.
Or... maybe the map is misleading after all. Could Uwe, being focussed on
making five shares, have overlooked a better solution with less shares, but
more coins, on this map?
You can start on any tile on the board. Before playing, fill the first four rows of the wonder with bricks of unused colours. This means that the first wonder brick in a turn costs two goods right from the beginning. The maximum number of points you can get in the wonder is 80 - the game ends at the two-player mark. You have only 20 turns instead of the usual 33 to finish the game: 13 neutral bricks will not be used. Play by the rules of the second edition. For mining, use the one-player rule (see scenario book).
If you are desperate, you may take a look at Uwe's solution. Of course, we would find it very interesting to check a better solution for this map. See Lösungen einsenden for guidelines on how to describe your solution to us.
