Sorry if it is stated somewhere, but what is the difference between colored houses and grey houses?

Re: This game is so hard to learn

Hi all! TTA is not as complicated as you imagine, not with the "New Story" edition. Since there seems to be nothing for beginners on this forum, I would like to share my experience which, I hope, would help take you to ELO=100 (even though I am not a great player! :oops: ) (the following c...

Re: Am I allowed to keep notes?

That's true. :lol:
But the game was designed to play in real-time I suppose.

Re: Churchill and Gandhi

I do not have problems with some leaders being better, but they should be different so each of them will have their chances. If you ask me to choose between Churchill and Gandhi, I will always pick Churchill except perhaps my opponent somehow has a super enormous army and very little military point,...

Re: No points for a loss is plainly stupid and unfair

This is a game with no catch-up mechanic and very little luck. In fact, for experienced players, I would even say no luck at all given they can change their strategies at a moments notice based on what cards come out. I would not say that is entirely true. Military cards, for example, is a huge var...

Am I allowed to keep notes?

Churchill and Gandhi

Both Churchill and Gandhi are useful for defensive players who want to milk some additional points from their leaders. Personally, however, I deem Churchill a much better choice over Gandhi in most cases, as (1) Churchill scores 3 points instead of 2. (2) Gandhi by no means provides a certain protec...

Re: Fixing Validated Translations

Hi! In Saboteur, the game option "Visible gold" is translated to Chinese as "可見的金礦", or Visible gold mine . The gold mine / goal card should not be visible of course! A more ideal translation is "可見的玩家金塊" (Visible player gold piece), or at least "可見的金塊" (Visib...

Re: Fixing Validated Translations

Hi

In Through the Ages, the leader card Rock & Roll Icon is translated into Chinese as 搖滾圖示, where 圖示 means a graphical figure. A better translation I think is 搖滾巨星, which carries the meaning of a star or idol.
