Splendor (Steam) - funkdoc vs. Hesham

Описание: NOTE: Actual game begins around ~4 minutes in.

Hi everyone, i'm testing out a new game here! Still only a couple days into learning it so my play is probably jank AF right now, but i was struggling much harder until stumbling upon WeickertD's excellent videos breaking down the different types of strategies this game can offer.

In 2-player i find that the starting card layout dictates your approach more heavily than it does in multiplayer games since there will be far fewer new cards drawn. Hence, my strict focus on red/white/black cards here! 2-player games are also longer in terms of # of turns compared to multis, for a couple reasons:

1. The chip stacks are smaller with fewer players, so you typically need to buy more of the cheap cards in order to afford the good ones.

2. Taking key cards away from your opponent, even if they're useless to you, is a major part of competitive 2P (which is true of a lot of Euro board games!). In multiplayer games this tends to hurt yourself more since you have other players to worry about.

Right now i'm mainly uploading games so Weickert can watch them and comment, and because nobody's uploading full games on here with a competitive mindset.
