    Option #3: Use borrowed time. Move GG to Madrid and Toronto. Move me to Chennai. Move Goose to me.

    On my turn, I can grab Chennai, fly to Moscow (using my power to keep the card) move to St Petersburg, and eradicate blue (assuming you don't draw a blue). Then I'll have five blacks and will just need to get to a research station on my next turn.

  • HedgethornHedgethorn Associate Professor of Historical Hobby Horses In the Lions' DenRegistered User regular
    Looking at my notes, the odds of your not drawing a blue aren't all that good, @Phyphor.

    The cards at the top of the deck are:
    Paris, New York, Atlanta, Toronto, Kolkata, Beijing, LA, Lagos, and Johannesburg. That's four blues in the next nine infection cards.

    That's 5 moves. Oh yeah borrowed time

    I like that idea best. Nullifying all the blue cards in our infection deck and all but one* of the virulent strain epidemic cards will make things easier. It also leaves my turn free to treat Istanbul, which is an ugly city to outbreak.

    *The "Hidden Pocket" epidemic uneradicates the disease and adds cubes to every blue city in the discard pile. It sucks.

    @Phyphor
    You drew Lagos & Epidemic! for your Player card draws.
    Sao Paulo got hit with 3 cubes because of the Epidemic.
    Would anyone like to play any Special card now, before the discards are shuffled back in?

    This would be a good time to play travel ban, given that we have three cities that could outbreak in the top 7 cards or so.

    Since we have a round of calm, you should defuse Istambul and in my turn I'll defuse Osaka, leaving only Sao Paulo as a problem.

    Grab Sydney Card from Goose;
    Cure Red with all the red card but Osaka;
    Direct flight to Osaka;
    Treat all cubes in Osaka.

  • PhyphorPhyphor Building Planet Busters Tasting FruitRegistered User regular
    Possible move for GG: use sao paulo to fly there, treat, move, move to lima. I warp to him, grab lima, pick sao paulo out of the discards, move to bogota, move preda to me. Preda gives me bogota, I then cure yellow next turn

    Edit 2: Forgot that Goose didn't have Sydney anymore. That messes up my plan.

    Hedgethorn on
  • HedgethornHedgethorn Associate Professor of Historical Hobby Horses In the Lions' DenRegistered User regular
    Okay, here's a fixed plan. If Preda draws a yellow, we can win on his next turn:

    - GG flies to Sao Paulo, treats Sao Paulo, ferries to Lagos, treats Lagos.
    - Goose drives to Toronto, charter flight to Chennai
    - Phyphor moves himself to Lagos, Preda to Lagos, me to Chennai, uses New Assignment to become the Operations Expert, builds a research station in Lagos.
    - I grab Chennai from Goose, fly to Washington, cure black in Atlanta
    - Preda grabs Lima from GG, Lagos from Phyphor, uses Re-examined Research to draw Sao Paulo, cures yellow in Lagos.

    If Preda doesn't draw a yellow, we can go with Phyphor's plan, but I think that will require almost two full rounds in order to cure both yellow and black.

    Where is lagos in the infection deck? Soon?

    We won't draw Lagos at least until your turn -- Bogota, Osaka, Karachi, and Istanbul are the top four cards on the deck (not necessarily in that order).

  • PhyphorPhyphor Building Planet Busters Tasting FruitRegistered User regular
    Hmm, GG fly to sao paulo, cure, move to Bogota, cure. I warp to GG, warp hedge to goose, then change to researcher and dump both cards to GG. Preda flies to essen/milan, moves to the other one, charters to bogota, then gives GG bogota. GG picks sao paulo back up and wins the game

    Hedge can grab Chennai from me anywhere, right? So should I just go to Madrid and sweep up the Yellow and wait for him to come grab Chennai?

    edited August 2014
    No, has to be in chennai - preda is the one who can take anywhere. At this point though there's almost no sequence of cards that could cause us to lose, so don't worry about treating

    Should I fly to Chennai via Toronto then? Or stick near the research station?
