Oh shoot, didn't expect me on here...mom, I'm on TV! Thanks for showing the game. When I started Ark Nova, I never expected to ever become good enough to have a game of mine reviewed, but here were are. A bit suboptimal play in the mid-game, especially taking a card action at 58:10 instead of breaking is just mind-boggling. Everyone who watched this, please don't do this crap yourself! But glad to see the Mandrill have its 15 minutes of fame for once 🔥. Everyone is always so low on primates (for a good reason), so it always gives me great satisfaction when there is a situation where a Mandrill or Proboscis Monkey actually shines.

My favorite games are when you get proboscis and mandrill with baboon rock, and I get to type in chat “Planet of the Apes”.

omg, I just discovered that my Azul game was at the end! I'm relieved that I didn't do anything profoundly stupid. Excellent tips and insights.

That placement of zoo school and aquarium was just beautiful. And he snapped a petting zoo animal. Perfection.

Shouldn't you stick to being an azul expert and leave the insightful ark nova comments for me? The zoo school aquarium combo was indeed beautiful, but very greedy to go for, I'd say it is a coin flip if he loses the game turn1 there or not.

First time watching I didn't fully understand. Then the 2 buildings came down in the same turn. Beautiful indeed!

The most agreeable title I've ever seen. Dmz should have built before Farm Animals, easy 4 points ftw.

Hi this is Tsong from the first game. Never thought this replay gets shared but I am happy you enjoy the game! Would Iike to share some thoughts on the interesting choices. 1. Getting the hand size on first round is a bit risky. But If my opponent did snap the zoo school, I can threaten back by breaking 5 and force him to discard some cards. And next round I can take another university, build petting zoo at the x-sponsor and still get the aquarium out. Not the end of the world 2. After the first break, I took the flamingo as the highest priority - it has water icon, it has a Europe icon, it has a bird icon that I need for 5 spieces - it is quite likely my opponent will take it to counter me so I have to take it immediately. Given that situation I need to take the European zoo to play it so that I can also take water playground in range. Upgrading sponsors and playing the water playground on that turn might be an option but it slow the paces and put my animal action in an awkward position. 3. Taking 4 money for the European cube is to pay the venom fee. Although I can x back the animal but I think one action has more value 4 upgrading cards instead of animals is because it was a bit far from 8 reps by then and the second workers didn't not value that much as I didn't have a project to do. My hands was a bit dead and I want more answers from the deck even for one more card 5 Taking the kiosk for the American cube reward because the money needed for building and animals for next turn was exactly calculated. The kiosk worthed 5 money. Same reasons for taking money on the shield rewards.

Number 5 is the most impressive to me. It sounds really obvious, but in a live game I rarely take the time to calculate how much money I will need for buildings + animals. I should start actually doing that. Very nice game, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Small mistake on your last take for your reward from Africa, should have taken rep, then you can use your two X's for rep and get 1 CP. 1 point mistake, just thought it was worth pointing out.

Yes that's correct and I didn't realize that! Thanks for pointing out. Map 9 is really a tricky map and I fell into a fixed mindset@@joshuamiller9793

@@user-hj2lq9kl6v Absolutely, not saying it's a misplay because the map is very tricky and, even though I'm a 500+ elo player you 600-700 guys are probably 20x the player I am. Just thought it was worth noting.

Is 'Alice in Wonderland' that popular in Australia. I noticed that the current #1 has your same Avatar and is also from Australia.

I am the only “real” Australian inside the top 20. There are a few “honourary” Australians that have also decided to use Alice for some reason 🤔
