Experiment with restarts. Volunteers needed!

I think it's time to draw some conclusions. It turns out that out of 25 who voted, only 5 (20%) are satisfied with the current format of the restarts – this is a very serious indicator that not everything is going well in this regard... I believe that restart 113 will soon be definitively and irrevocably officially buried:smile16:! But there is no consensus yet on an alternative option. Many, as I understand it, are still afraid of the rush with the Miner on the 1st week and similar situations:smile30: : I repeat once again - if it scares you, the "black" option is your friend, this is also a great art, learn it, and the Miner will somehow end up with you, and not with your opponent;). But for now, we continue the discussion. I'm not suggesting anything too intrusive yet; perhaps we should seriously consider the proposal from Wicc.

With restarts based on meeting – you can play with a reduced time limit, as in the Bay Cup. That is, the first restart is 116, the second (if it happens) is 115, and so on.

Although, I personally prefer either completely eliminating this restart, or only allowing it with a Guardian on a non-road tile, or limiting it to no more than 1 such restart per game:cool:.

And regarding what to replace 113 with, as can be seen from the poll, almost half are in favor of 112. But I would risk suggesting, again, "Wicc's option":

so that the sum of the days of the restarts does not exceed 3 (Hermit described this above). Recently, I have been playing almost exclusively with a full-random setup with this set of restarts.

I'll explain the essence of this option in my understanding once again: each player has 3 days for restarts and can spend them in any combination – either 3 restarts on 111, or 1 on 111 and 1 on 112, or even just 1, but on 113 – in my opinion, this is ideal:smile02:! And there will be room for restart strategists to maneuver:) .

P.S. Please explain what "your option" is for the players who chose this option.
