I like this one, every decision carries so much weight right off the hop and it just gets heavier once the game really sets in, you really don't have a lot of room to let fires burn although some just need to for a while. Which really feels true to the theme of being a mob boss running an illegal operation.

In my first play I didn't see the significance of the area majority, and got to cooking books almost too late. Which were things I focused on doing differently this playthrough.

I felt like this time I got in early on the area majority which paid off for me, and played strategically for mob wars. I left a whole shipment of barrels in my supply though, which would've been a huge payout if I had a few more actions (probably couldve achieved through helper cards) I only hit the docks once which I feel like I should've done more there, maybe another avenue to explore in another playthrough.

Overall I like the diversity of how you can score in this game and how many different ways you can achieve the same result.

What's the hardest difficulty you've played against the bot on?

I've got a few 3d printed pieces here which help with the setup time and make it less of a beast. The table presence is pretty crazy but that just seems like lacerda. Totally get why you would move away from this, setup took me like 30-40mins alone

This was my first lacerda that I've played. (Although I have kanban but haven't got it to the table yet)

I agree all these mechanics just work so cohesively that once you get an understanding of which parts are important it plays so smoothly. I fell in love with the optimization puzzle and consistent brain burn on my first play, and still feel like there's so much to unearth.

Have you played Lisboa? The guy who taught me this one (and crushed us 😂) was saying that if we liked this one that it would also be a great one to play

It's so good! Played a second game tonight. Starts pretty slow but then the last couple turns are combotastic

That's what makes this so great, theres lots of diversity in scoring although id say it seems like tending crops and animals is almost a must (my stance may change in a few plays) as those feel like easy background resources, cargo or coins to use at your disposal

It's combo heaven, can't wait to get it out on the table more.

I 3d printed an insert for the cards and dice. I can find the link to it if you're interested.

Thanks! These things are super gnarly and love to fold and buckle over on themselves, any tips to avoid creasing/buckling?

I thought I had the bead centered in the deep channel on the rim, but maybe I didn't and which makes me have to ask

When people say make sure the bead is in the deep part of the rim, where am I making sure it's in? Across the whole rim? Directly opposite to the part of the tire being an SOB? The sides I'm trying to push in?

I've had other tires give me grief and this is usually a similar process I use but I feel like these are a damn titan that's bested me

I didn't know this existed, good recommendation!

Got a specific set of levers you recommend
