Crossroads (2)

Trader (4)
Spice Merchant (4)
Nomad Camp (4)
Remodel (4)
Library (5)
Festival (5)

players:
smartdude1212, inDheart, [raeko + roundbox hydra]

notes:
Crossroads -> Library made for some pretty disgusting turns. Oracle remained untouched and many golds were sacrificed to become provinces with Remodel. Two platinums also died in the process, remodeled into colonies. Theme of this game is +3 actions from Crossroads.

[smartdude1212]

So it was my first time playing with Crossroads, Oracle, Merchant, Trader, Spice Merchant, and Nomad Camp (I have only the 1st edition base game, and don't have Hinterlands). I really like this setup because there are a lot of ways to start building your deck, and the three of us sure started differently -- the hydra and I each had a 4-3 start, and inDheart got what I would call a pointless 5-2 (because I think almost any 4 here is a better start; it'd be great to pull off the second-turn-5 from Nomad Camp). Despite these very different starts, the scores were sure close at the end (we each had 4 colonies, so it came down to other points). I ended it with a Remodel of platinum into colony, but the hydra would've clinched it with a colony gain the turn prior, and had I prolonged the game by getting province/duchy instead, I'm sure inD would've taken it home (Festival + Library is always scary to play against).



My deck started out a lot slower than either of the others -- there were a few colonies gone when I was still drowning in estates. I think the tide finally turned after I trashed all but one of my copper and had a bunch of Remodel/gold combos (what I was going for from the start), along with turn after turn of decent Crossroads hits. The only actions I used were Crossroads, Village (I think just once for my final turn), Spice Merchant, Remodel, and Library.

The danger with going heavy Crossroads is getting Britney'd, but as long as your shit money is gone and you've got enough green floating around, then even if you pick up four victory cards and a gold (platinum) you can still get a Village (Festival, probably) to chain with Crossroads and Remodel; throw in Library and you're just begging to shuffle your deck again and again. I could see Village + Merchant comprising a ridiculous money deck though, since Trader sets you up nicely for a Merchant orgy and then you can get rid of it.

And a final thought: taking out Remodel and putting in Replace would make this a tremendous shit-show (and then Celery should play so I can spread the curse love).

e: did I really write this much aarrghh my post-graduate life is showing

i also got the wrong end of the 5-2 (it went 2-5), so i couldn't salvage my second turn by buying a nomad camp

i had a bad setup to buy silver as well, so i just started buying festivals as better silver, and having them led to me skipping nomad camp entirely

Oasis is a bad card, and here's why!

It's literally just a copper, if even that. You get +1 card and have to discard a card, aka it's a net zero, but also consumes a card. Then if you draw oasis off a non-action giving draw, it's worth even less than a copper! Not to mention it costs the same as a silver, so even if it was a copper and a half like in some best-cases, it would STILL be better to just buy a silver.

Oasis is a bad card

Oasis is just an expensive copper

what the fuck is oasis

you cant even use it for treasure mechanics lma0

ban oasis


good band though

[smartdude1212]

Library Watchtower Mint Counting House Harbinger and excessive card draws in small decks (to name a few) all work well with Oasis and Celery's refusal to admit this will be met with punishment.

Probably in the form of curses.

oasis has synergy with stuff, it's just been strictly inferior to other cards in a few games we've played with it

fuck

So gryggyrz & I tied with 56 (after he forgot to count his 2 points from Goons buys), and tiloco was breathing down our necks with 50 and the most aggressive Counting House strat I've seen; once again, anybody's game.

[inDheart]

king's court X expand OTP

i bought the only expand of the game and probably won off it because i kept drawing this combo

[smartdude1212]

Best combo.

If anyone is on the fence about getting TTS, apparently it's currently 50% off on steam.
