Huh can't believe I never noticed that Thanks for the explanation.

I've gotten the impression that it's whoever meets the goal last gets the Goal first (e.g. if Player 1 meets the requirement on their first plant but Player 2 meets the requirement on their second plant then Player 2 would get 15 points whilst Player 1 would get 11 points), but I think I've seen som...

I don't think I'm particularly good at this game nor do I really know the best strats especially ion comparison to other engine building games such as Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition. As a couple of examples, is it good to focus on rows/columns of t...
