[FINAL RESULTS] SP Race for the Galaxy Three-Man Challenge

Tournaments
#228

Our first semifinal could probably start at any time.

The top three finishers were @SleepingGiant (25 points), @Hardco (23), and @Baelnor (22). And, yes, you guys have to play each other again. I was hoping our modified Swiss thing would break things up more.

For anyone curious, @Baelnor won a tie-breaker against @Snotty128. The two never played against each other, according to my notes, and @baelnor had a better record against our first-place finisher.

Start the game whenever you’re ready, @SleepingGiant. The top two finishers advance to the finals.

Obviously I would rather have won the tiebreaker and ended up at the top table, but the way this is done seems entirely fair to me

Invite sent! It is unfortunate we didn’t get to play other people more, but I think it is great you are sticking to the format you set out, and I think it’s a great format, thanks for organizing @TheDukester

Close game! I had many windfall worlds and the 6 dev that went with them.

Okay, that sets up our second semifinal.

@Snotty128 should set up a table with @KYakerDude and @jason1002. The winner advances to the finals; the others are sent to labor camps.

Great game @Snotty128 and @jason1002. I had a great starting hand for a military strategy and the military cards I needed kept coming my way.

Scores:
KYakerDude: 40
Snotty128: 35
Jason1002: 24

I needed it to last a few more turns so I could do consume X 2 , produce, rinse and repeat.

#236

Great game, and very tense from my point of view as I was always just behind Js619. Sadly the Spartans and their +12 military was just too much to handle. A game worthy of a semi final

#237

Argh, I just chose my action and clicked ok, then it didn’t seem like it clicked so I clicked again and it passed. That’s a bummer.

#238

@SleepingGiant that sucks man! Was that one of the double sell actions?

This game is so damned close. Coming into what may be the final round I have a narrow lease on 40 vs 33 vs 33.

@Hardco has 6 goods on his planets, so he has a stack of points to flop from that (at least 10).

Should be a tight finish!!!

#239

I clicked settle so I could place black market world and then trade in hardco’s trade phase, but then double clicked and missed both. The game should allow undo if nobody else’s move is visible yet. I guess the lesson is wait longer between clicking. Ah well, it is still an exciting game.

#240

Well, after getting spanked in our last two (three?) I came through with an incredibly efficient pay for military, with cost reduction. Never ran out of cards.

Great game guys!

#241

Great game, I don’t think my misclicked turn would have changed the final standings, so that is a relief! Good luck to both of you in the final rounds!

Good game all! I think that’s the most production planets I’ve ever had in play…

#243

Down to the final table. Drama!

Gird your loins, @Baelnor, @Hardco, and @KYakerDude. Only one can be the Galactic Master.

If there’s no objections, let’s have @Baelnor send out the invite, since he won at the “featured” table.

Begin when ready.

#244

Invite has been sent! May the odds something something…

#245

So, I was fortunate enough to have a dream run. Windfall military + 4 card blues + fat 6 devs.

Good game!

Yeah, it was a close game until the last turn. I had to hope that you didn’t draw into a fat 6-development with your last trade. But with a full hand it didn’t seem likely that my 9 point play was going to hold up… Good game!

#247

Is it over?

Can someone spell out the final scores? I find those screenshots difficult to read.
