What’s the point of going for neither devs nor road?
I just finished a game in which one player rushed to an early road, giving them 6 points while everyone else had 3 or 4 points. Not soon after they managed to get a city, increasing their tally to 7 points.
I would have assumed that at this point everyone else would either buy devs or try to contest road to stop that player from just running away with it.
But that didn’t happen. I was the only one buying devs and the other two were just slowly building up, as if they had all the time in the world.
In the end, I managed to win the game by getting arms and two vps from devs, but it was a close call.
I still don’t understand what the other two were doing. I feel like if you buy zero devs and don’t go for road either, you are pretty much capped at 8 points. You almost never win that way.
