Keep my Tobacco

We're coming into the home stretch. Isgrimnur to choose.

You'll need to give me more specific details.

You reach over with your dominant hand and select one of the remaining role cards, just as you've done whenever your turn has previously come up.

Guess again!

Prospector, then.

Chaosraven's turn!

Guess I will Mayor for the DBLNZ, and put new guys on Residence and Corn (as Statue needs none, right?)

And bb can thank me

New colonist to large sugar mill.

Windrose colonist to large sugar mill.

Move colonist from cornfield to sugar farm.

Put dude on customs house

Coffee roaster. Move corn dude to coffee plantation.

Once Remus delivers his colonist placement order, it'll be Qantaga's turn to choose.

No need to wait. I have no open slots. He goes into San Juan.

Builder

Free manned large indigo plant (3 - double priv - quarry).

Actually, it goes onto your small sugar mill. However, you do have an additional lonely on your windrose.

After everyone builds and Remus West selects a role, the game will end. Qantaga has filled up his city.

Coffee Roaster

Buy forest house for 2

Isgrimnur's choice to purchase or pass.

pass

Chaosraven's play

[large indigo plant]

1 dblnz, tobacco, and the colonist on BLACK MARKET

He uses his black market to buy the large indigo plant for 3.

Remus West finishes up the game by selecting....

• Builder Qa
• Captain +1 bb
• Craftsman
• Mayor +1 CR
• Prospector Is
• Prospector
• Settler +1
• Trader

Craftsman would be pointless since there won't be a Captain.
Trader would accumulate money, which no longer has value.
Prospector would gain a doubloon, which no longer has value.
Settler would allow Chaosraven to add another farm and thus gain another VP.

Since I can't imagine Remus doing something that would help Chaosraven, I could just declare the game over. However, I'll wait for Remus to confirm his game-ending pref before posting the final scores.

I'll actually Craftsman on the off chance that I'm tied with someone and the goods/doubloons break the tie.

Remus West wrote:I'll actually Craftsman on the off chance that I'm tied with someone and the goods/doubloons break the tie.

Good call. Let's see....

By my count, there are enough crates in supply for everyone to produce at max.

Here's where people start:
Qa: (1 sugar)
RW: (1 indigo)
bb: (nothing)
Is: (1 corn, 1 sugar)
CR: (nothing)

After max production, and including assets already on hand, here's the final status:

Qa: 1 corn, 1 indigo, 4 sugar, 2 coffee
RW: 2 corn, 2 indigo, 3 tobacco, plus 2 doubloons
bb: 4 indigo, 1 sugar, 1 tobacco, plus 3 doubloons
Is: 1 corn, 1 indigo, 4 sugar, 1 coffee
CR: 5 corn, 3 tobacco

And, with that, we have a winner.....

THE END:






Final Ranking:

1. (52) Qantaga == The Winner!
2. (35) bb2112 == Captain Indigo!
3. (31) Remus West == Smoke 'em if you've got em! (Prevails in tie-breaker with Chaosraven.)
4. (31) Chaosraven == Black-Marketeer and Corn King!
5. (21) Isgrimnur == Pure Cane Sugar
