Feb 21	comment	How to use Chapel card to its fullest potential? "This means trashing your entire starting deck as soon as possible.". Exactly this, +1.
Sep 10	comment	How does Le Havre compare with Agricola? I 've played both games several times (don't really like Agricola, I 'm a Caylus/Le Havre guy); this answer is a really accurate and objective description. Well worth the +1.
Jan 17	comment	Developing Chess Game After 20 moves This position is one where you should start thinking about gaining space, giving your opponent weaknesses and reducing their mobility -- not about sacrificing pieces. In one word, strategy. Incidentally, your comment above seems to indicate that this is exactly what they end up inflicting on you.
Dec 20	comment	Any good way to add a handicap in Dominion? +1 for simplicity. My only gripe with this solution is that you lose certainty as to the handicap's size. The effects of scoring e.g. -10 points are much different when e.g. the winner scores 50 than when the winner scores 30 (assuming the winner's score is a good metric to estimate the other players' scores as well).
Dec 19	comment	City card and predicting when Supply piles will run low Don't forget that you don't need two exhausted piles for City to be good: with just one exhausted pile, it's better than Laboratory.
