What do you do against mad scientist?

[JPCJ]

3 players arena and you are with a Rhodes, Ephesus or Alexandria. The mad scientist gets no resources and all the age 1 science cards. What do you do after crying?

First, I'd suggest playing classical edition (it is not available in Arena this season, unfortunately) - Alexandria and Ephesus stages are slightly easier to build, so they can be used to bury greens. In new edition it is a bit harder, but still possible. Second - you can build some greens yourself.

Rhodes is another story, especially side B. It is indeed harder to block green. I've seen people playing side A (which is longer, so you can bury more), so you might consider it.

What is a mad scientist?

It's a nickname for when someone wins by chaining science cards all the way, ending up with 9-11 of them at the end.

Ways to prevent it while you can still win:
- block grey resource early
- build one chain of green (instead of sets), while maintain red wins over them
- if green break unevenly, you always win if they cant get 3 sets (9 greens) at the end
