Roads & Boats Puzzle "Tierra del Fuego S11"
Goal: |
Find how to get the most points on the map shown |
Conditions: |
You may take advantage of the
Planes & Trains expansion set; skip the first four rows of the wonder; play twenty turns. |
Current Record: |
230 (1 share, 1 coin, 7 wonder rows)
(by Herman Haverkort) |
Level: |
difficult |
Status: |
well-studied |
This map has just enough tiles to be able to produce bombs, and if you use them
properly, you can make (at least) one share, even on this extremely small map.
Transport is hardly a problem on this map: everything is close together.
Your main issues are: when is pasture built upon (putting an end to geese
production for the wonder), and which buildings are blown up to make place for
at least a paper-mill, a mint and a stock exchange?
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 be very interested if you break the record on this tiny
map. See submitting solutions for guidelines on how to describe your
solution to us.
