ex. summary: "play algae cylinders on coral tiles as often as you want in the SAME TURN"


whole story:

I have fallen in love with RE some years ago and it keeps rising in my rankings. So I was happy to see the AI in the files section and went on to go against R2Deep2 and Sea3PO.

And the rules there were how I thought them to be and used to play: "... the algae cylinder may be played onto a coral tile ... ONLY ONE algae cylinder may be played onto a coral tile per turn." For me that meant, you cannot play two algae cylinders on the same coral tile modest

So this made a pretty agressive game: try to get consumed polyps FAST as you can lock the "politics" of the game right from the start. And I liked it that way.

The AI let me do this. Everything was good

Maybe I would never have found out if I wouldnt have found spielbyweb.com and got completely blasted in my first game - as I couldnt lock more than one coral tile per round yuk


Did anybody else have this "problem"/played that way?

I guess I must completely "reeducate" myself now

all the best

Gah I made this goof too in my first game.

Also... we only used one rock board for the three players instead of three... What kind of variant would that be
