I thought he could pass the card because him and Syns are in same city?

I guess you need to be in the city of the card being traded

Correct. You must be in the city of the card being passed, except Tim's cards can be passed freely.

 

[Golden1Knight]

My bad...yeah, Syns burn a card. Allowing me and G1K to shuttle into HK we clear all the existing red and black cubes in turn two. That's worth it.

So, Syns will play second to build us the station, then Tim and I will have our turns. I'll make two move towards Delhi, Tim moves to Beijing. Sounds like a good plan

 

[topsecret]

So:

Marcher -> Synsensa -> Golden1Knight -> Tim

for turn order?

Either confirm or propose a new order.

 

[Synobun]

Is this what the turn order is looking like?

1. MJ
2. Syn
3. Tim
4. G1K

And is this what my ideal action order is?

1. Fly to Hong Kong (A1), plop down a research station (Free), move to Beijing (A2, A3), and then Treat Disease (A4)

I just realized my research station action isn't free-free, it just doesn't make me discard a card. I can't get to Beijing if I do Hong Kong for the research station, but I can if I do Shanghai.

Revised action order:

A1: Fly to Shanghai
A2: Research station
A3: Move to Beijing
A4: Treat disease

Marcher -> Synsensa -> Golden1Knight -> Tim

Syns has to be second, I dont mind being either third or fourth

 

[Timsup2nothin]

I like order fine.

Marcher not having to burn an action on card giving means he can walk to London and pop a cube. So turn two he can eliminate the other two cubes and walk to Montreal. I think we will be off to a very good start this way.

maybe you should fly to HK instead, even if costs you a card? that way I can take care of Delhi

 

[Synobun]

So instead:

A1: Fly to Hong Kong
A2: Research station
A3: Fly to Beijing
A4: Treat disease

This would use both my city cards, but it would let me knock Beijing down a peg.

A1: Fly to Hong Kong

A3: Fly to Beijing
A4: Treat disease

You can only fly anywhere once per turn.

2. Once per turn, you can move anywhere by discarding a city card if you are at a research station.

FWIW, Beijing is probably lowest priority bc of the lower # of connections.

 

[Golden1Knight]

So instead:

A1: Fly to Hong Kong
A2: Research station
A3: Fly to Beijing
A4: Treat disease

This would use both my city cards, but it would let me knock Beijing down a peg.

Tim can take care of Beijing without the need to burn a card, so you may save that one I guess

 

[Synobun]

You can only fly anywhere once per turn.

Al Gore did this.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Syns build the station and just walk to Kolkata and eat that one black cube. G1K and I can both fly in and walk to Bejing/Delhi and each eat a cube.

 

[Golden1Knight]

Tim can just walk to Beijing from HK and remove a cube

I can eat all the cubes muahahah

 

[topsecret]

And G1K kills three cubes at once. Once you get a disease cured, he just treats them automatically by walking into a city.

Lol. OKAY:

A1: Fly to HK
A2: Research station
A3: Hitchhike to Kolkata
A4: Treat disease

This is a great plan. Let's hope Marcher's card draw doesn't wreck it.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Cool. G1K shuttle to Hong Kong, go eat the cubes in Delhi and turn 2 you can eat the cubes in Baghdad. I'll finish the cubes in Beijing, and Syns can walk back to Hong Kong and fly somewhere else to build a research station.

Marcher try not to let the blue thing get out of hand.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

The new cubes just have to be dealt with...if we get the existing cubes efficiently we will have time. Can't get behind is the first key point.
