Istanbul Tournament

We are all about to get destroyed by Irishdomer so I wouldn’t worry to much about it

So, to move to a place you have to leave an assistant there, or pick up an assistant that’s already there. It’s a way of making you think about how you move around the board. You should definitely be able to perform the cards action if you’re moving onto an assistant that’s already there.

I can only think with the jail thing was perhaps they were already on the jail card? After I finish a cards main action I get a pop up if I can send someone back to jail.

Good game all!

I am having trouble getting a higher resolution image to upload. Here is a kinda blurry version. Anyone else have this issue?

GG! You killed us!

The Large Market Table has ended in a draw between @mikekroeker and myself with @JHTaube and @johnl just behind. A great game tightly contested by all players - Joe & John were both teetering on their 5th gems.

I slipped up at the end. My last but one move was to the Tea House. I saw that Mike ((BigDaddy33) could get to 5 gems on his next turn and I thought that was it - my last turn would be at the Tea House. I forgot that I would get another turn after Mike reached 5 gems and thus I would also get a 5th gem.

At the Tea House I went for the absolutely guaranteed 5 lira (I had the red special ability). If I had tried for 6 lira then I would have got it unless I rolled double 1 twice and I would then have won (by the tiebreaker of more lira - Mike had no bonus cards so I knew no hidden 5 lira there). How many times have I told myself - pay full attention!

I think that you will agree that the above is indisputably a truly fascinating story.

But mostly - apologies to @JaneHatke who has to sort out what to do with us now!

The tiebreaker is gold so the shown rankings are correct. Good game everyone!

Good game everyone!

Mikekroeker · August 10, 2018, 6:36pm

Great game!

irishdomer08 · August 10, 2018, 6:38pm

How about both tied winners go to the top table?

When you return to the fountain, why would you not return all assistants? I’m brand new to this game but I can’t see any advantage in leaving them out.

Snotty128 · August 15, 2018, 1:43am

I could see a situation where the next place you wanted to go already had your assistant on it.

If you return all assistants then you’d have to leave an assistant on that space to move there.

If you didn’t return all assistants (left that one that’s already on the space you want to move to) then you could move to that space next turn and pick up your assistant and still have a full stack.

@JaneHatke @Dave I’m sorry for the late invite!

@Kevindamazyn, no problem.

Dave · August 18, 2018, 4:24pm

Sorry about that. Just gor home from the hospital. I just joined.

Hardco · August 27, 2018, 4:31pm

The Winner table is done!

In terms of strategy, I bought a wheelbarrow on the first turn, which gave me enough room to pick up all four bonus tiles before someone beat me any of the 3 resource bonus tiles. Since the tiles only cost one of each resource, I had enough resources left over to trade for a ruby, and one refill short to trade for a second. With a little gambling and buying a ruby for cash in the middle, I picked up the 5th ruby on turn 17. Good game all!
