It's going to be this evening before I can try to get up to speed. Lo siento

I'm about to go to the airport, so it'll be late tonight or tomorrow when I get stuff updated.

Issy might need to redo his turn after getting bad info from me.

No rush. This game is already speeding along at about thrice the pace of its quickest competitors here.

Portugal plays Governor and 2 Treasury to place a Booming City in Angola, and gains 1 Prestige. The next City must be 3 or higher. All goods shipped with Merchant must now ship black goods first, giving Portugal 1 Treasury.

Qantaga, it is your turn, choose Scientist or Missionary please.

So they must ship *your* black goods first, instead of (say) choosing to ship my black good and giving me 1 treasury?

Yes. They must ship 1 of mine before their own. Remember that the color of goods shipped only matters in one situation, when slavery is banned after someone reaches 10 Economy.

England's Scientist will advance Seafaring to 2.

Here's the real rulebook. I found it in some respects more illuminating than the remix, even though some rules have evolved or been deprecated.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 1:46 am

For research, is the treasury cost whatever "level" you are researching to? So, in other words, does researching to the next level of economy (4) cost 4 treasury? And researching to level 3 logistics costs 3?

Viceroy: A treasury counter to Arabia.

Whoops, El Guapo needs to decide what he is going to research? as well.

Portugal will use their Scientist to advance Economy from 2 to 4, paying 4 Treasury.

SpaceLord · Post by **SpaceLord** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:36 pm

The action's now on Qantaga.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:44 pm

So economy helps:

(1) Move more goods from market to treasury
(2) Found booming cities
(3) At higher levels, gain access to goods
(4) At 10, ban slavery

Anything else?

I came oh, so close, to using my Scientist to advance Economy. However, I completely spaced on the the fact that you built a Booming City of 2, not 1. Had I understood the importance of that distinction (my noob lack of understanding thought Booming Cities would be increased one level at a time and didn't realize, until it was too late, that skip building was allowed), I would have advanced Economy, instead of Seafaring on my last action.

Well played.

I'm just getting home, so I'll need an hour or two to formalize my move.

England's Explorer will sail the ocean blue in an attempt to explore the West Indies.

Difficulty for West Indies=5, -2 for Seafaring for England = Success on a 3+.

Success! England has explored the West Indies, discovering the New World.
England gains 2 Prestige.
England, pick a Merchant Fleet or Treasury token to place in the West Indies.

SpaceLord · Post by **SpaceLord** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:42 am

Vorret, it's your turn to play, choose Sovereign or Conqueror.

Vorret · Post by **Vorret** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 7:32 am

Spain will use a Conqueror and found a colony (Company).

Viceroy Egypt

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 10:59 am

Couple quick questions:

(1) Qantaga / England now has a monopoly on beige, right?

(2) If I explore and put a token down on a separate gold resource, that doesn't count as "breaking a monopoly" on gold, since each gold resource constitutes its own monopoly, right?

SpaceLord · Post by **SpaceLord** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:41 pm

El Guapo, yes on both counts.

It is also your action.

The great nation of Spain does not like this move.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 1:17 pm

My apologies. I meant to say, I will send an explorer to New Holland, which is somehow mislabeled on the map as New Spain.

Much better.
