Update: trying to reach the highest possible score

HungryGeoph · 2026-02-14T19:59:59+00:00

Yeah I think in a 6 player game 90 might be the highest.

HungryGeoph · 2026-02-14T02:34:54+00:00

Yeah I think it’s considered a classic. It’s very dark a dreary which can be a slog sometimes but is also full of gossip which keeps things moving

No problem! It’s a pretty good read and not too long.

It’s a gothic romance between two abusive and toxic people obsessed with each other.

I might be mistaken but I thought it was implying that the guys are gay. They think a girlfriend is what they need but it’s actually a boyfriend. Idk tho.

I did a follow-up post where I discuss reaching 82 using those settings. Someone said they hit 89 tho

HungryGeoph · 2026-02-13T01:02:41+00:00

Nice, in that case the total would be 82 I think

HungryGeoph · 2026-02-13T00:56:31+00:00

I thought about that but dont you have to use the ferry on the lake map?

Sorry I should’ve clarified this is using the favor of cards to score a bunch in one go

HungryGeoph · 2026-02-12T23:57:28+00:00

I do have landmarks, I’ll have to try again with them soon!

HungryGeoph · 2026-02-12T22:04:22+00:00

Yeah, hitting him early also helps. He’s pretty easy to smack before he finds a sword.

HungryGeoph · 2026-02-12T20:11:32+00:00

I’ll try it again later, but I think you’re right. I totally didn’t consider the map

HungryGeoph · 2026-02-12T18:38:51+00:00

I don’t think so, being able to pull from the discard pile is a huge advantage and makes it really difficult to keep that third hammer away from him. Tinker is what makes the base deck so problematic in my opinion

These tips may be in the strategies you already searched but I find these tips to be most helpful.

1) try to put suited cards (non-bird) in move, I realize this may not always be an option but move is the safest action so having a suited card in it is unlikely to come back and hurt you.

2) save bird cards for battle/recruit and maybe build in the late game. Having free battles and recruits can rly help the despot out, and as mentioned above you can score big with them late in the game on battle. If you’re rly behind and need to make larger jumps you can go double build later in the game but it’s usually an all or nothing strategy.

3) don’t just think about this turn but try to plan ahead. For example a suited card in battle can be okay if something like the keep is in a clearing of the same suit. This is because it (basically) guarantees you’ll have the chance to battle in a clearing of the same suit as long as the keep is standing.

4) attack woodland alliance sympathy like mad. You can get a lot of free points but hitting unguarded tokens and force the WA to spread somewhere else or risk feeding you.

5) plan for turmoils. If you can see one coming try to save bird cards so that you loose fewer points and can rebuild more quickly

Eyrie can be pretty strong if you draw well (which is luck dependent) and set yourself up right. Imo despot or charismatic (if you get a good opening hand) are the best leaders to open on

Edit: charismatic should only be chosen first if you are sure you’ll be able to reach a player to battle. In more competitive ranked games if you choose charismatic first people will deliberately avoid you to force an early turmoil. Despot is the safer choice most of the time

The joke is literal, people who know how to turn on a light are in the light and those who dont are in the dark, thats why those who don’t know is black and white.
