"ALLRANDOM"

Vic, I've played 150-200 games on 8mm6, and I've never seen anyone get 11 (ELEVEN) creatures on their starting turn.

I was surprised myself, to be honest, but to be fair, the road junction more than compensated for this bonus – only in the middle of the second week was it possible to break through the single road to the village, which you had already painted, and the box could have been yours if you went down that path instead of turning back.
And besides, all that extra growth needs to be bought and collected from the creatures without losing momentum, which is quite problematic.
