Sorry if I wasn't being clear, what I meant was isn't there an optimum tempo between being 'too quick' and getting choked with VP cards and 'too slow' and not getting choked, regardless of what my opponent does (excluding the effect of interaction cards).
Like - does what my opponent do significantly change my strategy? (other than balance your deck to respond to attacks). Surely the best tempo is still the best tempo.
- lmm 6y agoThe game length is significantly different depending on whether all players are following the same strategy (so buying the same cards) or not. So you have to adapt to that, and there are meta questions about that.
- BorisTheBrave 6y agoThe length of a game varies according to what the players do. If your opponent plays a slow strategy, and you a quick one, not only will your deck become useless to do anything with, but you will lose your power to control game length (as it is tied to buying cards), so your opponent will be free to extend the game length.
- kevinmchugh 6y agoIt's more obvious in games with platinums and colonies. If your opponent is going for colonies, you can win by getting all the provinces for yourself. You have to make a quick read on if they're going big or not, to decide if you can play fast or not.
