Update: My buddy at game night said he wins more when he stops chasing points, and it's messing with my head
So my friend Dave came over last Friday for our usual 4 player night and dropped a bombshell on me. He said he started winning way more games once he stopped trying to max out every single point and just focused on blocking other people. I've been playing euros for 6 years and always thought you HAD to squeeze every VP you can. He beat us 3 games straight that night with this whole "play defense first" thing. Now I'm sitting here looking at my shelf of 40 plus games wondering if I've been doing it wrong this whole time. Has anyone else switched their whole style after one conversation like this? I feel like I'm relearning how to play games I've owned for years.
