Part 7/8:
Most likely, players will find themselves stuck around seven or eight victory points, with the finish line in sight but challenging to reach. Here's how to navigate this stage effectively:
For Balanced Strategy: Aim for two to three cities along with a few settlements, targeting the Longest Road or Victory Points from development cards.
For Wood Brick: Focus on achieving five settlements and establish Longest Road—utilize ore efficiently for cities if the opportunity arises.
For Ore Wheat: Multiple cities may position you well, along with obtaining the largest army for added Victory Points.
For Port Strategy: Build settlements and maximize trades effectively. Ensure diversity in primary resources to diminish the impact of the robber.
