A quick note, Qantaga:Qantaga wrote:England plays Governor, pays 4, and establishes Booming City in the East Indies.
If a colony is lost via war or rebellion, the player loses the VP, and, if that colony contains a Booming City, they lose that VP as well.

How is the market empty if I moved one of your goods to it via Merchant last round?

In either case, it's not like I have anything there to Trade, so I might as well take out a loan via Financier.

Per the Puerto Rico thread, Grund is away from today through next Thursday, so I assume he won't be available for this either.

Question: if you play Viceroy, do you have to place the max tokens possible, or can you place fewer than that?

You started the turn with 5 Treasury. You spent 3 to up Logistics to 3, so you were left with 2, which was placed in the Levant.Grundbegriff wrote:Huzzah!

Re: Colonial Boardgame Thread: Turn 3 Action 4 Begins
Looking at the map, if you're going for a 4-difficulty area(which is pretty much all that is left), you might as well go for China. Beware, however. A player cannot take control of opium or tea until they reach 6 Economy. I'm the only one at 6, so if you do succeed at the roll, and gain a Monopoly on Silk(the only good besides orange you can claim in India or China,), then someone else will sneak in and take control of the other two goods...probably.Isgrimnur wrote:Can I get a link to an updated, readable map so that I know what my options are, please?

China's Difficulty = 4Isgrimnur wrote:China it is.

Success!
There's a lot of high rolls, sheesh.
Italy gains 1 Prestige.
Isgrimnur, choose to place a Treasury or Merchant Fleet onto China.
(Note that a rebellion(via Unrest/Rebel) in China is really bad, since it has the highest population in the game: 8. A single success on 8 dice would wipe out a token.)

Re: Colonial Boardgame Thread: Turn 3 Action 4 Begins
I'll play a Merchant, and place 1 yellow good in the market. This also gives Qantaga 1 Treasury. Unfortunately I can't place more...for now.

Re: Colonial Boardgame Thread: Turn 3 Action 4 Begins
I just played Sovereign / Conqueror, so that's not available as my last choice action. I'll need to go back and look to see what the other card available to me is.
edit: I believe it's Trader / Financier is my other option.
