the game was technically over.
(rulebook page 4: “As soon as 1 player has covered their entire Forest Floor with Leaf tiles, the round is played until all players had the same number of turns [edit: we all had completed that round], and then the game is over. Count the number of empty spaces on your Forest Floors to find out who played how well.”)
only remaining nuts had to be placed.
when all other players had done that and your timer had been expired again i thought it would not hurt to let the computer place your remaing nuts just for getting the final score.
did not know that your score would not be shown then.
so here is the corrected final scoreboard, as @JaneHatke did not resign.
I feel I still have more to learn about the strategies here. In any case, thanks for the delightful games and thanks @JaneHatke for organizing — perfect time of year to fit the theme.
congrats to @SleepingGiant on a great and convincing win!
many thanks to @JaneHatke for conducting the tourney!
and now…i feel like needing more Indian Summer action
it’s fast and easy with great potential for depth. a rare and delicious blend.
what about this idea:
a “league” challenge thread for simultaneous all-players-action instead of an inactive waiting list?
the first 4 players battle it out on the premier “league” table.
next 4 are playing in the major league, next 4 in the summer league and so on, depending on number of interested players.
the last two players on each league table must descend to next lower league.
the first two players ascend to next higher league table.
and the new “season” can begin.
