The two highest-ranked 2P players go at it on one of the most expensive BSW map configs!
This one is just a comedy of bad luck for Bode, with the market completely shutting him down after i got a very nice 6/9/13/20 setup. With coal being so scared, i decided to stay low in the turn order and let Bode dominate the builds; rare to see this be the way to go in a 2er! Each Step 1 city you grab is a $10 swing over your opponent, so that's a lot of cash to give up...but i wanted to buy up coal and make Bode pass on plants or risk dropping me a big one. Worked like a charm!
IN THE INTEREST OF FAIRNESS: We played 2 more games on this exact config that weren't recorded, and Bode won both.
