Default Re: Restart

It starts in spring... I think VPs tick over in four months (between turns 4 and 5)! Or maybe even a month earlier, I forget... Turn 52 is my guess, which puts me in idealogical agreement with YellowCactus...

I was sort of thinking the game would end around Turn 60 or 72. I think it will be hard for a player to get 3 VP provinces early in the game, but we shall see. My hope is that the game ends while it is still fun and not a mega turn chore.

I definitly read the rules wrong. I thought you need 13 from 18 VP to win. Maybe because i had in mind that dominions is an epic game and my mind clarified the accumulated clause in a wrong way.

So the game lasts only for 3-4 years.

However i planned for a longer game and my strategy isn't fast...

calmon,

I had the same idea as you. I was looking forward to a long game with (almost) all the nations, but I guess this will be fun too.

Sounds familiar, since I haven't played with VPs before I would have thought that it will last longer, too...

We are for in this situation, I've also missed that the vp were *cumulative*, I should have read more carrefully (and used a death 3 scale ).

Y'all will have tons of fun!

I think it is more likely the game will last approx. 5 - 8 years (through turn 88 approx.) It will be hard for any particular player to control 3-4 VP provinces for long unless the other players are not paying attention.

There is 1 VP province per player. So, players need to scramble to prevent any particular player from grabbing too many of them.

I noticed in the game emails you have me playing Malverni!

Isn't it Marverni, as in say, Marvelous?
