Re: Lowest possible score puzzle

I was thinking about this as well and already planned on eventually sitting down to get to see how high I can score in the 1st edition only.
Awesome work! I was just flying over it and it looks to me on first glance like you found the perfect combinations. I hope you started as last player, so you begin with 4 workers, obviously 3 identical goods tiles at the beginning as well. The 2 ships must be the correct tiles to abandon I believe. Your timing of placing your ships and selling goods looks also very good. Carpenter's Workshop + Church makes a lot of sense to me. I also initially thought starting top left on board 8 + triple mine start with one 4-animal tile must be the strongest opening play, but didn't calculate it through yet. I will let you know once I have also played it through. I think the original rule does make more sense to use in this puzzle, because the 2019 yellow tile 6 tile is just so stupidly designed and against all spirits of the game. But really cool, that you have also done the work on the 2019 edition
That must have been a lot of hard work.
