Libertalia - choose colors to even out tiebreakers

[pejsek]

At the moment, the default colors for 3-player game are AFAIK green + red + black. In this distribution, the tiebreakers are in favor of black characters with green being the second. I suggest changing it to green + red + grey as per instructions in this BGG topic. The other suggested triplet (B,B,Y)is more unbalanced.

If someone wants to figure out how to create balanced 4-player game, the tiebreaker distribution chart might be of help.

I second this opinion, Libertalia is a very fun game, but it takes away a lot of the fun, if you know you got the color with a lot bad tie-breakers. This is especially true when your left neighbor collects all the cursed relics and uses a monkey on the last round, since there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

Whoops, I was analyzing the game and came up to the same conclusion independently.

I brought up the issue and suggested potential solutions on the Bugs forum.
