Hi, tnx for video. Why do you think the pavilion near the kiosk will increase income? in rules i find just this: "You need enclosures to accommodate animals, while kiosks grant you income during every break."
Hey thanks! Page 18 of the rulebook: "b. Collect income for the kiosks on your zoo map. Check each kiosk on your zoo map separately. Take 1 money for each unique building, special enclosure, occupied standard enclosure, and pavilion adjacent to it."
The solo variant of 7-6-5-4-3-2 just doesn't work. At the beginning you have no money to do much, and at the end, when you have TONS of resources, you can only take two actions. My house rule is 5-5-5-5-5-5..and when you get good, 5-5-5-5-5-4, and down. This makes for MUCH better games.
Its situational of course, however Ive seen people for example use a sponsor action on 5 just to get 5 money cause they wanted to get the card in 4 to move up, in that case Id say an X token is better many times than 5 money, well anyway its always situational :) Also in solo theres times where getting that 1 X token is the difference if able to claim another conservation project in the end or not.
It is very situational, but it can be very useful. For example I just had a game where I had built the entire zoo map out and my build card was on 5. At that point the build card no longer served any purpose and it was best to just get the plus token and put something else in the 5 spot. Also if you need to build an enclosure and maybe pick up a partner zoo before playing an animal card, but the Animal action is "in the way" of those 2 other actions.
Do not agree at all. Sometimes an X token can be invaluable! Seems better than just doing something that isnt going to benefit you that much either way. U invest in getting a more favorable position to play ur next turns more optimal and u get an X token to boot.
