Just played the new Goa last night for the first time. I've played the original about a dozen times. There were enough changes that it felt a good bit different.The biggest difference seemed to be that the "progress using money" card is no longer an action in this version. That's huge! I used it three different times during the game and scored 51. Normally, the winner in our games has around 40 points.
Is there an errata somewhere that I don't know about? Anyone else feel this has ramped up the scores? I thought this version was supposed to mellow out the card strategy, but perhaps it just changed the killer card from "produce spice/ships/colonists" to "progress using money".
