Raiders needs some sort of log. I am actually not sure how @doublebullout has 15 VP already. Are they from the Long House?
3pts from raiding 3 Harbours, 1pt on the Valhalla track, and 11pts total from the Long House.

Cool, I have to pay more attention to the recaps. I don’t think I have been valuing the Long Houses enough maybe.

Yeah, GG. That is just my 2nd full game, and I thought I was on track to get one of the last attacks before the game ended, and then the game ended…
That is the 2nd game (out of 2) where I needed 1 more turn to get a last attack in.
I still need to figure out how to be more efficient with my turns.
From my experience with the game, you’ll always be one turn short of doing the last thing you want to do…

Hey ladder players - here’s the practice thread. Post here if you want to get in a game of one of the upcoming ladder games:
Isle of Skye
Raiders of the North Sea
Galaxy Trucker
Also looking for folks interested in “vetting” Shards of Infinity since that one came in as a potential new game entry.

Have had steady Shards games since it came out. It’s a solid app other than the very occasional times it force closes itself.
Also I would do practice games of all three.
Me too!
I’d do Isle of Skye and Galaxy Trucker
And I’d also play Shards
My problem with Shards is that they use a login system where they send a confirmation email…that they never send. I got a new phone a year or so ago and have never been able to link my account back up. I’ve tried dozens of times.
@js619 @whovian223 @Blackfyre - looks like you’ve got 3 for Isle of Skye (the next game in the ladder season) but I know there are a few others interested so let me know if you need a more experienced player at your practice table.
Im fine with both options.
I am total newbie to the game , only tried to learn the rules yesterday and lost against the medium AI and beat the medium AI only with one point.

ok, I beat the AI in Isle of Skye, I guess it is time to lose to real people

@kennfusion - sent you an invite to a practice game of Isle of Skye with @zen4one and myself.

Practice game results… I’d love to say @kennfusion played kingmaker by buying a very expensive tile from me in the last round, but the truth is @zen4one had this in the bag the round before. 
GG!
Its only the 3rd game I have played, the first 2 against the AI. I am not sure I really understand scoring yet.
Some of the tiles aren’t totally intuitive - if you tap on them in the game, you will see a description of what they are. And then the key mechanic is that scoring criteria “A” is scored after the first, third, and fifth rounds, etc., etc.
End game scoring includes bonuses from the “flags” on your tiles (eg. +1 VP for every two sheep) and 1 VP for every 5 gold not spent (rounded down.)
Hope that helps!
