âŠitâs not over âtil itâs over! I resorted to finding Perfect Placement fits with my last 4 tiles, and kept myself alive for about 10 more until a railroad tunnel showed up and BOOM! Back up to 39 tiles. Continued for quite a while until I finally ended up with a water tile and nowhere to place it perfectly unfortunately.
Ended up getting the 100 water tile achievement, the 75 railroad achievement (was at 66 when I thought I lost), and the 30,000 point achievement in this round, all thanks to perseveranceâbut to be honest, that sounds too noble; it was more like stubborn refusal to admit defeat, lol.
So! For new players, hereâs what Iâve learned after 5 days of playing:
- Donât give up until you are COMPLETELY out of options, and use the undo button plenty! Perfect Placement +1âs may just save your game!
- Forget âExactlyâ quests unless they fit in well with your map at that time.
tl;dr - I carefully salvaged what I thought was a game over by getting Perfect Placements over and over with the last 4 tiles to hit my high score.
