And here's our other Baden 2er! This one is a complete slaughter, not a whole lot to say about the game itself. Instead i'll just copy-paste all the Baden rules from my previous video:
Baden has 1 less region compared to other maps (5 vs. 6), so on 5-6 player games you'll use the entire map. Baden also has a special city in each region that only has Step 2 & 3 spots available, which means you need 1 less city to trigger Step 2 compared to other maps. The biggest change is the turn order, which is set after the auction phase each turn (as opposed to after firing plants) - creates more tension for building decisions! Finally, when nobody buys a plant in a given turn, the *TWO* lowest-numbered plants on the market will be removed (rather than 1 in other maps); this creates a much faster pace and further favors early-game efficiency.
