Orleans

Making our way through our 5x5 challenge with another play of Orleans! In this bag builder, players are attempting to grow their followers and recruit different professions to their cause to help them grow their wealth! In our last game we talked about how it felt like there was a dominate path to go down. It feels like getting craftsmen (brown which give you the technology tokens) and knights (red which let you draw more workers) is the necessary path to follow. If you combine that with the bathhouse building (draw two extra workers and put one back) then I have a hard time seeing a strategy that beats that. We do not have a ton of plays in this game so we could be totally off base, so we are excited to hear your thoughts if you think you can win not following this strategy!
