@whovian223 over @Mirefox
Good game! I think I auto-passed my way through half of it…
Thank you! GG!
My strategy in both games was to go for button wins, and I ended both games with 41 buttons.
I felt like I was behind for most of the game, with @feederofgoats going for a button heavy strategy. I had to takes some weaker pieces just to try to keep up with his income. Eventually, I got the opportunity to chain a few low cost/high value pieces to finally pull ahead in board position, and picked up the 7x7 shortly after that. By the end of the game @feederofgoats had double my income, but I still managed to squeak by with a narrow win.
Good game!
Feederofgoats over @geigerm 35 to 18.
Well played @geigerm!
Patchwork was much more fun than I remembered it to be. I had no idea who was winning in either of the games I played until the end (and couldn’t say for certain what I did wrong in my game against @Hardco or right in this one!) but the decisions each round were very satisfying. Glad we played it!
@doublebullout over @SpiceTheCat
@SpiceTheCat won the 7x7 bonus, and we both had successful runs with multiple turns in a row. GG!
@Codington over @doublebullout
I managed to overcome an early deficit and one total disaster (I tapped stitch instead of rotate!) and win by buttons. GG!
Everyone with a 1:1 record in our group
Yes, there are a few groups like that. I’ll be calculating tie breakers soon!
(BTW, I was out of town when our game ended so missed the chance to say GG! )
Tie-breaker calculations (total points differential) for the 1-1 tables:
Table 3
@Baelnor 14
@JammaTal -1
@Schlotzky -13
Table 5
@SpiceTheCat 11
@doublebullout 0
@Codington -11
Table 7
@whovian223 16
@HostileApostle -4
@Mirefox -12
GG! It came down to the last couple of turns. I probably should have passed on my last turn instead to save my buttons and make sure I had the last pick.
Patchwork is one of those games where I always think I’m doing better than I actually am.
Nice work everyone - that wraps up event #9 in the Decathlon in less than two weeks!
I’ll post some info on Wingspan in the next few days and then share the penultimate standings and final table match-ups.
(Spoiler alert: 1st place for the 2021 Decathlon could come down to the wire! )
