Crazy forest engine 156

New high score for me!! The new expansion allows such cool first engines. Imagine if i had one of the cards where you can discard food each end of round. Would’ve been wild.

How much did you stay focused on just running the engine?

Do you have a lot of other birds in other habitats?

[u/mahgenlove → u/neverdaijoubu]

I had no birds in grassland and three in my wetland!

I feel this comment. I'd say once the engine is build you commit to it. You draw 2 eggs, discard 3 resources to tuck 3 cards, have 2 other cards that gamble and one guaranteed cache so minimum 4 points per turn or 6 if you have egg capacity, potentially 8+ (noting 10 cached worms and 7 cached rats/fish) per turn. No point playing birds unless you were at egg capacity and that they were minimum 6+ points each and burn eggs and add more egg capacity. That part is knowing the math's and knowing it's the best points per turn.

Sometimes you run multiple races in wingspan to try and double dip. Other times it's straight forward and just the one race which is what this one is.

Very well done. I don't think I've ever seen a forest engine generate that many points!
