Went to a board game meet today and got to play Keyflower and Cyclades(Has anyone else played those?). I managed to win both, but I personally preferred Keyflower.

Well, I'm new to the board gaming scene, so stuff throws me off every game at the moment. Also, by fairly early into the 2nd round, I had a clear path to victory(In fact, at that point I essentially had a licence to print victory points.), and that helped dictate where my meeples should go.

Spoiler: Some stats for that particular game

How did you win/lose?

Are you asking what my strategy was or how you win/lose the game?

Let me rephrase. How did the winner win?

I won the only time I played with most of my points off a single tile(Mercer's Guild). As for green meeples, we had two tiles where we could get them. The only time I used them was to secure first turn in winter, though.

How much transport was in your game? We only had the wainwright come up, and that was in fall. I kept my village small, though, so I could flip every tile worth flipping early on, especially the Workshop.

Games I've played recently:

Agricola: I lost pretty badly, I think. Didn't get a lot of people or upgrade my houses. (Final score:24)

Village: I managed to win this by some margin, with a combination of points mostly from the chronicle, the market, and travel.(Final score: 55)

When playing the games, it felt like there was a lot more rigmarole involved in getting points in Agricola than in Village, which is partially why I liked Village better. Also, I won.
