Day 9
Having looked at cooperative games on Monday, the class returned to traditional one-player-wins games on Tuesday. I spent the period learning how to play Saint Petersburg, a game based on the Russian city roughly in the time of Peter the Great. The point of the game is to game the most VPs, but early-game strategy heavily emphasizes ruble production, because the buildings, nobles, upgrades and workers that earn you the most victory points also cost the most. It was very simple once you got the hang of it, but in the beginning it wasn't made clear to us how you made money each turn, which gave our teacher a pretty large head start on us all.
