Anyone fancy a 'play to lose game' of Amun Re?

I see some strategy in avoiding Memphis and Abydos, temples and the end of game money bonus.

Of all the games on SBW I think this is the only one that may just work as play to lose, at least as a minor diversion.

If you wish to give it a go please reply below.

I'd like to try it. It might have some gameplay problems, but it should be fun anyway.

I think in the first auction all the provinces are sold for 21 Gold. Very Happy

I think doing that alone would be hilarious.

Sounds fun!

And since my winning percentage is below 10%, I should "loose" this easily.... Cool

I'd be willing to give this a shot. There are certainly some strategies to be had.

Some provinces are clearly better than others Smile

I'll play, as I have only ever won 3 games of anun-re, I feel I may have a very good chance of 'winning' this game! Laughing Rolling Eyes

Well that's 8 of us.

I am not sure it is a good idea to run a full blown tournament, but perhaps it could be one game each with the losers/winners (you know what I mean) going through to a final.

8 players = 2 x 4 player game with the bottom 2 going into a 4 player final.

9 players = 3 x 3 player game with the loser of each going into a 3 player final.

I'll leave it for a day or so in case anyone else wants to join and for your thoughts on my suggested format.

What do you think would be the best number of players for these games?

Well, 5 players ensures that with Memphis/Abydos at least some bricks come into play. Ditto for the temples. The other 10 provinces will be substantially less interesting.
