Small World: New game I'm playing Lior, welcome to Boardgames SE. Your contributions are very welcome, but please read the FAQ first. Your question was not really a question, and we don't aim to be a general forum for board and card games. Rather, we want questions to be real questions, where you have a concrete, solvable problem for the community. |

Can I Birthing Pod a token to get a creature with a CMC of 1? Little nitpick: the absence of a value usually does usually imply that it's zero, if it's needed in a calculation: 107.2. If anything needs to use a number that can’t be determined, either as a result or in a calculation, it uses 0 instead. When in doubt, the comp rules tend to repeat themselves just to err on the safe side, so it's no wonder that they explicitly spell out 202.3a when 107.2 would technically suffice. |

What is a Gateway Game? @GregDemetrick True, and I guess that's implicitly stated by "good for mixed age groups", i.e. both young and old. |

Maximum attainable points for a single player in a two player game of Carcassonne The points will not be the same, because many small towns count more for a farm. Also, one town can count for several farms, so that is good for the score as well. So, which number and arrangement of towns makes the optimal number and size of farms? And what about roads, cloisters? |

Maximum attainable points for a single player in a two player game of Carcassonne @rahzark That's the question though, isn't it? Is one big city really optimal, since it only counts as 1 town for your farms? Is it not better to have multiple farms, each adjacent to many small towns? Also for roads: with 3 tiles, you can make 1 road of length 3, or 2 roads of length 2 each. You see, there are many different ways to do things, and without a computer, you will have a hard time deciding which matters most. |

Maximum attainable points for a single player in a two player game of Carcassonne @rahzark I don't see how meeples make the problem easier. The most trivial counter-example is the first move: Without meeples, you have only 1 move for the first turn. You place the starting tile, and pass. However, if you do place a meeple, you have 4 different game states after the first move, each of which can influence the subsequent meeple moves. It's like another game literally on top of the tile placement game. |

Maximum attainable points for a single player in a two player game of Carcassonne @rahzark I bet you could try something with neural nets or genetic algorithms to let the AI figure out which moves are generally the most lucrative in the long run, assuming no opponent interference and free choice of all tiles. However, the problem remains that the search space is so vast, and any sort of "learning" algorithm can only sample a vanishingly small portion of that space. You could always land in a local maximum and believe you have found a pretty good solution, while missing the mountain right next to it. |
