LOL Table 2 proving me wrong on Table 3’s scores being high… (obviously the score is greatly impacted by which objectives each table has… or I’m just not that good at this game! :stuck_out_tongue:)

I will assume the app correctly broke the tie for 2nd and 3rd place.

Yup, @geigerm had one more private objective complete than I did.

My turn just came up 15 minutes ago, but won’t let me load in the game. Anyone else having trouble?

I sometimes have to close the app (get to the list of running apps and swipe up on Sagrada to completely close it) and then restart to get online games to load.

Hi all! Since we have some tables of Sagrada already wrapping up, I figured I would kill two birds with one stone (I promise not to use that analogy when we get to Wingspan! :stuck_out_tongue: ) and post a couple of links related to Le Havre including a reminder that there is a thread for finding practice partners for the Decathlon games…

For those that are familiar with the basics of Le Havre, here’s an extended video:

And if you really want to go down the rabbit hole, there are a ton of strategy forum articles over at BGG.

Frankly astonished to win this one after not placing the last die. Gg @Codington and @jason1002 :blush:

Yep, it came down to the last turn - I used the special power to re-roll the last 4 dice (any of which would have fit colour-wise) and needed to get a 1, 5, or 6 in order to fill the last space. A 5 would have won me the game - I ended up having to place a 6. :roll_eyes: Still, an exciting finish!

Congrats to @SpiceTheCat and GG to you and @jason1002!

First time my color bonus has ever got me that many points.

Nice work!

I’ve been playing through the Campaign and there have been many scenarios where a decent colour bonus has made the difference.

Mathematically, doesn’t color bonus have the potential to be the highest scoring category?

Um… yes… sometimes the most obvious things elude me… :stuck_out_tongue:

In theory, you could get 60 points from colour bonus alone! :rofl:

I know the math can go a few layers deep depending on the mix of objectives but sometimes it can even be advantageous to play a private objective dice and mess up one of your rows or columns, considering those objectives are worth 4 or 5 and you could possibly place a 5 or 6.

Nice win, @whovian223!

As expected, Sagrada has gone by pretty quickly…

Just checking in with Table 1 to make sure things are going smoothly… (no rush)

We’re on round 5 right now.

Thanks for the update - sounds like the rest can spend some more time getting the hang of Le Havre… (Jump over to the Practice Arena thread to find a game!)

This is true. If a 6 in your color comes up, it’s rarely better to pass on it just to avoid messing up a row/column bonus.
