No expansions should be count on any record scores. There are many games with higher score and without expansions. Score of 90+ is only worth a brag in the base game. Best scores exceed 100 points without expansions, who knows how much more with expansions.

I dont mean anything bad with it. It is not just THAT impressive, sure a good game, but exceptional? maybe less so. But anyway you should put the fact that you used an expansion in your headline, just saying you scored 93 is misleading.

I'm impressed and happy for you.

Here's a good puzzle. If you can set the order of cards in the deck and the players cooperate, what is the highest possible combined score for all players?

otherwise you mean distribute the cards as you see fit...making sure you can pay for stuff.

More players, more points..

Yes, distribute the cards however you want, with various combinations of player count and wonder and expansions.

Im guessing you are going to have to make each player specialize, like one science, one civilian, have every other player go military.

I didn't work it out exactly. Obviously, you want all the green cards in Babylon, along with sci guild. If you have 4 players, you probably want a second green player taking University+Scriptorium for an extra 4 points. You probably want them to take Dispensary also, to increase the value of Philosopher's Guild. At 4+ players, there will be a second science player.

If there's an even number of players, every other player gets a single shield in Age 1. If there's an odd number of players, you want half minus one players with one shield, and then one player grab 2 shields in Age 2. The rest of the military cards get buried under a wonder or discarded for 3 gold and 1 point.

You want most of the resource cards owned by the same players, to maximize the value of Haven and Chamber of Commerce. You want one player with all the yellow cards to maximize the value of Lighthouse.

It's actually a pretty complicated puzzle. If you really want to be fancy, solve it for all combinations of wonder, player count, and expansions.
