We had play 1 game on this map and we were 5 players and the experience wasn't very good so decided to try it again and this time we hope it would be easier as we know understand the consequence of having a nice network for the second stage of the game.
On turn 1, the bets went very high with Mario winning at 8$. Everybody started their network in the middle part of the map. On turn 2 Pierre was still the last to play and he was the only player to build completely to the south of the map. On this same turn there was a big fight to connect Terra but Marc-Andre was able to connect Clarkton to block Martin and Mario from this side of the map. As soon as turn 3, we had a hard time delivering goods since not many players were building in the Hell area. On turn 4 players were preparing their network for the last stage of the game and Martin build many nice links close to heaven and seemed to be the best prepared for the build that would follow in heaven. As expected stage 2 of the game (Heaven) happened on turn 5 and Marc-Andre won the important first build action and was able to place and link 2 of the new cities in the western part of heaven. Marc-Andre made nice deliveries of 6 income by using Martin's network several times. Pierre took the engineer action to link some cities in the east of Heaven but there wasn't enough goods available to catch up with Marc-Andre. Marc-Andre's move of blocking the western part of Earth paid of in the end as Mario and Martin shiiped many goods through his network.
This game was easier than our first but our next game on this map will be played with 4 players only. That's what we said after our first game on this but I suppose we still didn't had enough difficulties. The game still very tough but I'll reserve my final verdict after a 4 players game. Players usually prefer real theme related map but we were able to forget that goods represent soul and play a normal game. After all when you play Age of Steam since a long time you can pass over some details.
Final scoring:
Marc-Andre: 79
Pierre; 52
Martin: 39
Mario: 30
Nathalie: 0
