    Route from E3 to E2.

    @Daemonis to place a second segment.

  • MrBlarneyMrBlarney Registered User regular
    Game Setup Update 2

    Daemonis - Start line between C3 and E2.
    Hedgethorn - Start line between C2 and E3.
    discrider - Start line from W5 to C3, through C4.
    Hedgethorn - Expand line from E3 to E2.

    Game Map
    Bus-G01-R00-2.png

    The following setup actions remain:
    • Daemonis - Expand Line, 1 segment
    • Arcsyn - Expand Line, 1 segment

    Feel free to start with Round 1's placement phase if you'd like, once all setup is complete. Player order will be:
    Arcsyn
    Daemonis
    Hedgethorn
    discrider

    A few reminders:
    • You must place at least two actions before you can pass; after you pass, you can no longer place any more actions for the round.
    • Purchase Bus, if taken, will affect how many passengers and buildings are placed by their respective actions. It will not affect line expansion, since its effect comes before the bus fleet increase.
    • When Transport Passengers rolls around, if a passenger is at an intersection with a desired buiding, they will automatically move there and will not be transported for points.
    • If the Lead Player action is not taken, the lead player will shift to Daemonis automatically.

    discrider, not entirely sure of my strategy yet, but thanks for pointing that out. Still trying to figure out what this looks like as it plays out.

    You have no passenger to transport either... Your office can only hold one guy

    Buildings can only hold one person? I missed that in the rules. Guess I need to reread them.

    Idk, I suppose you could make it work if you built another office and stole my dude.
    Just giving heads up, because I was looking at my previous game of Scythe the other day, and don't want to not say something and then have the other new players not realise things.

    You pick your next action before I do. You get to expand your line. You could expand it to my pub and if you moved passengers first, use it before I get to.

    This gives me first move to get a point and use the pub on my line, even if you expand to it from your own.

    May not have been your plan, but I needed to secure the point. Wasn't sure what else would have been a good move for myself anyway.
