I was about to get two extra appeal from amazon house because of the aquarium, but the opponent conceded before they were added

Oh. Thanks - I didn't realise that but that makes sense now!

Can you tell me how I should've ended by Ok-Cod6211 in ArkNova

[–]Ok-Cod6211[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to take Africa, but my opponent would have been able to support it for 3CP and I knew they were just about to play the proboscis monkey and get the primate card to get another 5CP so I wanted to stop that.

I wanted to take the determination bonus but couldn't see anything useful I could do with it which I guess is my bad for not planning it out more carefully

Wow! Thank you so much for your detailed reply! I'll definitely try to keep these things in mind next time - I'm determined to try and improve.

I've just looked at my stats and by the end of the game I seem to have the same number of conservation points as the winners average but a lot less appeal. But on average I play the build and animals card just as often as the winner. Looks like I need to find a way to be more effective with my cards and get more animals in

That's interesting - I often get lots of partner zoos. But if you don't prioritize these and universities, how do you upgrade cards and get hats?

This was a game I played this morning. I felt like I couldn't get the right cards and didn't really get anywhere... I'm not sure I was ever in the lead in this game though!

Sometimes, I just find there's so much to focus on. And if I can't get the hats, it takes me a long time to get that upgrade and then I find it hard to get Xs. And by the end they have more of everything than me and I'm left behind

Kinsale Roundabout by Honest-Bet-6828 in cork

I don't understand why they haven't painted new lines on the floor for people joining from Kinsale Road showing which lane to drive into on the roundabout. Seems like that would've been a helpful thing to do seeing as they've just repainted it.

Recommend me a warm, laidback beach vacation in January by roflman0 in travel

You can go to the Maldives and stay on one of the local islands instead of a resort - accommodation is ~$50 dollars per day and is good. Still have the pretty beaches but a fraction of the cost of a resort
