Cards: Neighbor +12 (+10+2) round 3. You get +4 on round 5.

[violet iron]

Cards hate you some days. Nothing like your neighbor getting +12 cards on turn 3. You getting +4 cards on turn 5.

Its a low feeling. I just got a 6pl loss. Before I could cash in my +4 on turn 5. The last 6 place win i had was about 20+ games ago. So im not to angry. But the point loss on 6 place. The horror.

But F***!

Thankfully this is somewhat better in progressive, where the sets you trade in don't matter as much

[blissful light]

Well the luck is just switched. Instead of it being the amount it’s whether you get a set on 4 or not

[kind maple]

and the turn order, of course

[blissful light]

Well yes of course. Although turn order is important in both fixed and progressive which is why I left it out

[devout lagoon]

I saw a tournament game where player 6 started with 9 troops lol

[blissful light]

Presumably player 1 started with 6-7 troops. Although I’m not sure what tournament settings would lead to that?

[devout lagoon]

Regular

[blissful light]

Wth is regular? There’s no “regular” tournament settings where the 6th player starts with 9 troops

[devout lagoon]

I mean to say is that I theorize the mode is irrelevant; though the one I saw had two bots, one of which knocked out their 5 stack. They still won tho lol

[kind maple]

Do you mean that by the time it was their turn, they only had 9 troops left?

[devout lagoon]

Yep

[kind maple]

That makes more sense. Was that kylted’s game? Which he ended up winning

[blissful light]

I’m glad you figured it out Slack. I was super confused

[cursive quarry]

Otherwise it would have had to have been the largest map in Risk history!

[blissful light]

I mean not necessarily. A cap and 12 territories gets you 9 troops in 6th

[cursive quarry]

True, if players 1-5 let you hold all 12!
