Apparently it can! I was surprised how well, to be honest.

Incredible... So, the gaia track was definitely the key. There are still a lot of days until the end of the challenge. But it seems difficult to surpass you this time. I will try my best.

I will report the scores this evening.

Arkhus 166 vs Automa 116 - https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=324864760 : economy (max R1), terraforming, navigation

DrTrilogy 151 vs Automächtig 130 – https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=324933300 – Economy and AI, then Navigation – Economy allowed for the ability to pivot for resources needed. AI Didn't build a lot

Arkhus 204 vs Ultoma 173 - https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=324987714 : economy (max R1), gaïaformation

VenatorDomitor 167 vs Automächtig 130 - https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=325214868 - Focused on Navigation and AI with a single early point in gaiaforming.

So glad to have discovered this monthly challenge! Was very fun looking through and comparing to everyone. Clearly I have a lot to learn but I can be happy with this first attempt. If not for greed my score would have been 186. In the final round I was getting ready to grab the advanced tech to score for gaia worlds. I could have taken and scored 16 but I just had to try for one more gaia world before. I thought what are the odds the automa grabs the advanced tech.... sigh... made me have to entirely rethink the rest of the round to make up points. Maybe next time!

Great score for your first game !

Otherwise, it would be difficult to manage.

Paco224 216 vs Alptrauma 226 - Economy, Gaiaforming, Nav, AI.
I tried to start on north east side.
It is a defeat because I chose Alttrauma. With Ultoma it would have been a victory.

Among my best games ever. Thanks for posting the challenge!

I just watched your replay and your game is awesome on many levels. Your variation seems very interesting because it allows you to avoid the nav track at the beginning. If it's perfectly clear to me that your defeat is only due to the automa level, I choosed to not register the result because ... it is still a loss. I hope that you won't be hangry with that. I copy/paste your table below because it deserves to be seen by other players. Like Niall and Akeba, you definitely contribute to improve the metagame of the december challenge.
