Is it possible to win something ?

Hi
In that game is that possible to win ? It s quite hard to get 10 or 15 points with more than one color . Do we have to only get the more points we can ?
When you watch vidéos about it it looks great, but here it looks impossible, it s a shame.

Yes, it's possible. I win around half the time when playing without a recipe challenge. Using a recipe challenge does seem to make it harder to win but I've still won with it a couple times. However I wasn't able to win any games with the recipe challenge enabled until I got good enough to win around half the time in the basic game first.

Here are 2 games that I have won, if you want to watch the replays:
(the first one with the recipe challenge enabled and the second without it)

Anecdotal reports on BGG when Grove was originally released indicate that most of these players were winning around 20 or 30% of the time when playing with a recipe challenge. The game's designer even chimed in and said he wins around 30% of the time when playing with a recipe challenge, so a low-ish (but not impossible) win rate was intended. https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/272764 ... difficulty
