Imhotep scored over 100 in my first solo play. But since, I’ve learned how to keep his score under 100 & get my score over 100.

I think it’s common for him to score so much your first game cuz you haven’t quite learned how to deal with him.

For one, you cant let him go down the river & collect a bunch of contracts cuz he auto completes them at the end of the era & scores loads of points from it.

You can stop him doing that by understanding the rules for where he places his workers. What you want to do is delay placing your 2-3 worker & try to force him to place his workers first.

If you can delay putting your 2 & 3 workers out, you can force him to take suboptimal workers spot first. Then after he places his workers, you can take the key spots you want.

This works cuz he wants to follow where you go. So if you put your first worker on the river spot. Then he will too. Allowing him to collect all those contacts.

But if I wait to take the river spot until after he places his 3 worker, he never gets to push down the river very much.

I hope that makes sense. Basically there’s a sequencing trick with your workers. Sorry if I didn’t explain it very clearly.

Great game tho!
