Decathlon Practice Arena

hello @whovian223, do you know that you can see the moves of the other players in Ticket To Ride?
when you tap on a player’s avatar you will get to see which cards were taken or where on the board a connection was established.
it’s not so bad. a kind of “illustrated log”.

I didn’t know that. Thank you.

yeah, it’s well hidden. no idea why the game doesn’t show this as replay :man_shrugging:

Nice play guys. Congrats @jason1002.
I learned a lot by watching.

Thanks, I got the large building section in the middle at the very end. Only 2 of the buildings were identical–fortunately I grabbed the knowledge tile that allowed me to do that. You guys took all the mine tiles early on.

Congrats @jason1002 but also kudos to @JHTaube for playing “kingmaker” - not being able to get one last boat definitely hurt me! :stuck_out_tongue:

Yikes. Did not know I was playing “kingmaker.”
Still trying, unsuccessfully, to maximize my own points.
It’s time to go after the AI for a while.

@JHTaube to be fair to all, having those boats would not have been enough for me to win.
@jason1002 completing the building area sealed the deal for him.

I’ve really enjoyed learning CoB through these practice games. I’ve picked up a few games against randoms as well, and I’m holding my own.

Thanks to everyone who voted this game into the Decathlon. It was on my wish list, but I probably wouldn’t have bought it unless it went on sale, and I’m glad I have it now.

Yeah, I agree, I am enjoying it so far and was going to pick up a game or two against randoms. I like Sagrada also, which I had not played before.

Last year’s Decathalon I picked up Through the Ages and Race for the Galaxy as part of my regular casual fun play.

Now…if after 3 Decathlon’s I could figure out Brass! I have a feeling I would need to spend a day playing Brass on a board live with people to really get it.

Anyone up for a 3 player learning/refresher match of Through the Ages?

I’d play some TtA for sure … definitely more of a learner, though, even after several games over the years.

I’m with you there, even after coming this close to developing the mobile version! :stuck_out_tongue:

We’ll see if a third learner wants to join us, otherwise I know there are a couple of Decathlon players who will likely be happy to “school” us. :rofl:

I’ll join. I’ve played several games. Or rather I’ve lost several games.

If there’s a space left, I’ll gladly join a TtA game. I’m already in one so it won’t be another game to check. :slight_smile:

two open slots in a Terraforming Mars practice game! who’s game?

I will play.

Looks like @geigerm, @KYakerDude and I to start the first 3p TtA for learning/practice. I will set it up!

@kennfusion needs two more players for a practice game of Through the Ages. Tagging a few others that are finished Brass and waiting - @SpiceTheCat @jason1002 @Mirefox @whovian223 - anyone up for it?

(I’ll keep @Hardco and @JammaTal off the list because being crushed by them is not necessarily the best learning exercise… :stuck_out_tongue: )

I’m game for one (unless I already got invited to one that I’m not aware of yet :slight_smile: )

Yes, I need an intro game too…
