Everdell has a similar play from the market mechanic. Easy to forget in both games. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the tips! I've managed to crash and burn about five times in a row, ready to level up my game play!

About #3 - you also want to push the break if your opponents have unused Association workers.

[Stuntovic]

Your #1 advice is so true! Even for more experienced players this is a great tip! ;)

I thought the coffee cup was an old bicycle brake - wrong kind of break! 😁
Thanks for the tips. 👍🏼

This is my number 1 game but I'm ashamed to say I didn't know about your #5 tip so thanks Josef! I must read rule books more thoroughly!!!

You're right that you want to get an early 2 point Conservation Project -- but you're wrong about what reward you want to take when you get it. You want to take the 'flip a card' at the 2 victory point spot, but you almost always want to take the 'extra association worker' with your first conservation cube.

Hi, tnx for video. Why do you think the pavilion near the kiosk will increase income?
in rules i find just this: "You need enclosures to accommodate animals, while kiosks
grant you income during every break."

Are you telling me that i can buy or excute actions directly from the market with out having to catch or capture the card?

The solo variant of 7-6-5-4-3-2 just doesn't work. At the beginning you have no money to do much, and at the end, when you have TONS of resources, you can only take two actions. My house rule is 5-5-5-5-5-5..and when you get good, 5-5-5-5-5-4, and down. This makes for MUCH better games.

Comment on tip #5, taking a null action to just get an X is wasteful and should be avoided if at all possible...

Beautiful game design is out the window.
I like the game but it's not a great design.

To the point a lot of nonsense talking
