The value of a 5 set (25) is well more than the value of two 3-tile sets (2x3=9), and going for the 5-7 range is often worth sacrificing a tile or two to take an extra turn and get the extras. Your math is fatally flawed, and you just don't see it. | |

But in our game we all tended to go for, say 3 sets of 3, rather than 9 tokens of one type. -That the best strategy was to get more cargo rather than a particular type of cargo. This is also the case if what you have in your hold is nothing like what is on the market, and everyone is doing something else or playing by a different strategy. There will be no refresh, you get stuck, and have to follow the same strategy | |
| Jan 28, 2013 at 22:21 | comment | added | Argyle | @E_L You get more cargo, yes, but your storage is finite and you want to make every bit of that capacity go as far as it can. | |
| Jan 27, 2013 at 12:06 | comment | added | E_L | But you need to have a cargo to swap for a cargo. Whereas for the random pick out of the bag you increase your cargo and have a chance of getting one you need. This meant that people tended to ignore swaps and go for random, in every stage of the game. (I shall update my question to make this more clear) | |
