A beastly 3er here in terms of players, on a beastly Germany config! Check out the only connection between aqua & yellow...
Stein crushed this one thanks to his willingness to pay for the 13 and buy the 15. We had this awkward early market with 29 always on deck, so nobody would buy plants before the bottom player, but bad plants kept coming in ahead of 29. The assumption that 29 would arrive soon kept us from bidding with Stein on the 15, and he made absurdly more money than the rest of us while the 17's and 23's kept on coming.
The last nail in the coffin came when, after mastaba paid over $40 for the 26 and i got the 30 for around $45...the 24 dropped out of nowhere for Stein. He killed my trash prices and that resigned me to last place while he cruised to a dominant win.
