Wow, never would have guessed how much easier it would make this challenge to pump the difficulty a little.
164 vs Automachtig 158.

Enjoyed scoring a federation on turn 2; much easier when the CPU is building mines so much faster!

What a tough challenge! I've racked up more attempts than any other month, and barely a win. Going to have to study other folks' victories. My best is 119 from what felt like a very clean opening. Feels like I'm leaving a ton of points on the table in the midgame, though. https://boardgamearena.com/...

Ok, 172 with 3 natural Feds! This one was fun and felt like I played well.

Made it to 169 by going T1 Academy and focusing on econ and the Advanced Tech at the top. Feels like I'm getting closer.

First game back after a long hiatus! I snagged a pretty solid 158 rushing econ and science vs. Automa.

John Leo 200 vs. Automa 145

My personal best score ever! I maxed Nav and Econ, with late pushes on Science and AI for last minute QIC bonuses. Very happy with this one.

Took another crack at it to good results!

John Leo 189 vs Automa 148

Maxed Econ/Terraforming and most of Nav. Prioritized round bonuses heavier than my previous plays and earned the TP tech tile for a nice boost in the final round.

John Leo 157 vs Automa 148. This challenge was brutal! Took me 12 tries before I was able to beat the Automa. This win came off a turn 1 academy and pushes on econ, with some movement on Nav and Terraforming. I did score max points off the TP advanced tech. I left a lot of points on the table by not...

John Leo 199 vs Automa 116 This is my first time trying the solo challenge, but I'm pretty happy with my score. Completely ignored science and gaiaformers, which I think was a mistake. I did grab two advanced tech tiles and made a comically large, 10-satellite federation on the last turn. https://bo...
