Re: Any quick strategy tips for a novice player?

Quick tips: - Always deliver to Kansas 1st delivery, no exceptions. In 1st edition first two deliveries goes to Kansas. It will kickstart your economy and heavily reduce pressure in future deliveries. Isn't this a lot of negative victory points? Is it worth it? Can you overcome the deficit? Not onl...

Re: Disc use advice

In 90% of the cases I end up unlocking the second $ aux disk first. If I go something else it's usually for a very specific purpose timing wise (ie. unlock train movement to threaten/get priority on 1st Station Master if it's great given the setup). Trashing cards is a meme strat, the rest are situa...

Re: Why should Arena use 2 players?

I wouldn't mind alternating the number of players per season - If there's any sort of vote it should probably be broader than current gurus if possible (for reasons stated by Ranior).

Re: Why are you allowed to look at draw decks??

Also, I actually don't see the benefits of having that information. Knowing the cards owned by a player is useful to estimate its score, but I see no value in knowing their draw pile. So I would support a change in the implementation to remove the display of content of opponent's draw piles. It can...
