Nice discussion at the end.

1:28:00 all tiles in Zimbabwe are piece limited, that include water and shamans tiles - three of every kind

17:23 there is another option for Guerric in first move, twice use herd and place new monument. And there is advantages - not giving money away, at least one more monument is needed to win so why not right now, also one more cow from herd. Can anything bad happen? Not really, unless Allen is ready to go broke for monopoly (maybe Engai allows that) in clay goods that I would advise against. Without selling crafters can’t afford building again in second round so prices likely be same level. Also for crafters increasing prices will bite back as they lack funds to pay themself (with Anansi involved other players shouldn’t engage in price wars of course). In hypothetical scenario you should be able to increase both monuments at second round or third round with one action - well planed optimization.

52:19 yes! One more monument! Guerric you are obviously ahead and should be preparing for final stretch. Increasing VR now is defensive, unless you see clear way to come out of debt shortly.

1:14:56 how about pricing “Throne maker” one cow? Your concurrent is obviously wood piece for price of two while your throne will be priced three*. That one cow difference and given they both use up same wood resource will result of your placement being purely defensive instead of giving chance to bring income if your assessment of Lilly being leader is true. *Actually missed it’s not comparable, because bone already cost two. So maybe doesn’t change much.

About prices and economy in this game: placing and pricing defensively at game start is common mistake that hurts owner more that other players IMHO. Also there is god that gives alternative way to decrease/increase prices, certainly a neat possibility, thought not so powerful as other gods.

1:23:00 another defensive craftsman, Guerric? You scare me! Thumbs up for entertainment!

Best game with the worst looking TTS mod. I hate using it so much.
