The last game of the night was Tzolk’in.  Tina, Adam, Nick, and I played this one.  We didn’t have anyone going for skulls, and I did the food strategy again with the bonus of the food tile monument being out.  I got 11 of the food tiles, but that wasn’t quite enough to make up for the other ways I destroyed myself to get it.  I should have waited a few more turns to take it, but such is life.  I ended up getting a close third.  I think the next game I play is going to be the resource strategy instead of the food strategy.  It technically has a bigger payout, but it is also harder to play since food is the way you place units.  I’ll probably trade a bunch to get the food I need instead of hoping for the food track to have something for me.  With many people seeing how I can control the board with the food strategy I expect a few more to go after it in the future.  I also don’t think getting as many people as I did was useful in the end.  I should have gotten other things instead.
