On this map, it is possible to achieve the highest score anyone has achieved on any map in 20 turns. The map was actually designed for this purpose as part of the Paradies-Puzzles. 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, and Herman, with his head full of the five and six shares' Paradise puzzels which led to this map, was blind to the real optimal strategy.
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 Herman'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.
