Haven't been uploading many 2P games lately, so here you go!
This one really shows the power of landing the 18 at cost. In a 2er, that's about on par with 21 in that regard. You can see here that i beat amitss in nearly every other aspect of the game, but he had the money to end the game when i didn't; that's almost entirely because of that 18 drop out of nowhere. It took me a long time to think of 18 in that top tier of plants you need to bid high and avoid dropping, but it really belongs there in 2P.
Amit also did well to attain a slightly higher capacity than me for that final turn, and passing on plants was a *very* smart move from him. The problem for me was that i needed a 7-cap plant to reach 21, and both of the other 7's were much better than 36. Thus i would make more money overall if i passed on plants that turn, stayed bottom, and waited for 38 or 46 to arrive. Had i taken 36 and built to 18 that turn, i almost certainly would've lost on money the following turn anyway. Very well done finish from Amit here!
