I would need a 3 to put a window in the lounge, so i cant win on round 5A. I would achieve Hot Tub and finish with 33 points and a moat.

After a long deliberation, here's what the judges have decided:

Goongratulations to Omobono who, after a last second defeat in the Railroad Ink LP, has managed to decisively close the game with a good lead beat the competition by a narrow margin (thanks for the correction on the Door Bonus rule). An honorable mention to Namtab - they have promised us a moat, and we got a moat. Also to Sighence for A) submitting their updates through Google Sheets of all mediums and B) doing so on the MOBILE version at that.

Thanks to everyone for taking part in this game, I hope you had fun!

Thoughts:

1) Requests uber alles. With our client spread, the :perfect: bonus wasn't really worth it; 5 points for a Closet, Washroom and Kitchen? Not worth it in my opinion, especially since a 2-value roll is worth door points and the requests also wanted trees and windows.
The rule could be possibly worth it if our clients had less overlap in room requests. I'd think about it if the clients wanted 3 extra room types in addition to the starting Living room.

2) By the same account, the Sims rule was a trap. A door opening into a stone is already a point and everyone is getting the same amount of twos. Drop all doors towards stones (or potential stones) and rack up the points that way. That 2x2 roll was worth 4 points on its own as doors. (Although I think I wildcarded it to a 3x2 bedroom roll)

Maybe the rule has stronger teeth with the other layout clients.

3) Thus, any roll that doesn't get one closer to a request can be safely wildcarded away. Redundant 2 rolls can be kept for extra doors but they're not that important.

4) The double room bonus is situational (I ended up not using it) but more powerful than the others, since it is worth two dice instead of 1.
Wildcard bonuses give you an extra die by converting an useless one into an useful one; the double feature bonus doubles an useful die; the door bonus is straight up an extra 2-value die.

TiG you gave omobono 7 extra points, its 1 point PER ROOM not 1 point per door, leading out to stone. 4 rooms with stone doors = 4 points.

Omo still wins but not that much.

I have, somehow, been able to misread that rule every single time I've played (and apparently I'm not alone) :psyduck:

But yeah, even at 48 points Omobono wins - although it would have been really weird if his "last moment second place" curse had struck again :v:

Glad I'm still first, but that explains why people were not dropping doors into stones everywhere.

Hah! Maximum Bonus Points! ~victorydance.gif~

I was too busy building a home to live in that I failed to make the same points/request jump the winner did in Round 3. Oh well, I'll just enjoy my beach-side house with all the amenities, including a patio/hot tub that faces out over the water. A few more additions, such as windows, maybe some double-doors, and it'll be awesome!

Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.
