So I’ve tried out the Coke strategy and the Steel strategy, but I can’t beat the ‘no-boats’ strategy reliably. Am I the only person who thinks the most-efficient strategy is to forego board altogether? (Primarily: Abboriter and bake house, butnLso just paying in $ rather than food).
Ummm, what? What player count are you playing at?
Player count is the key answer here - I have gone "boat light" in 4-player games and made it work - sometimes. But "no boats" would be quite a feat. You would have to take extra actions at the Grocery Store or Abbatoir to get enough food, and make money through special buildings to make up for the francs everyone else would get for shipping.
