Craig spent hours analyzing the data collected at NOVA. He dug deep into the schemes selected (by winners and losers) across the 64 games played at the GT.
Which strategies were close on scoring and which were runaways?
What schemes did the winners pick and score?
How about the losers?
What schemes were common picks but resulted in low scoring?
What schemes resulted in the highest scoring?
He came up with some interesting insights and is anxious to share.
Getting the most from your control hand is critical in Malifaux. Ray shows you how to evaluate your hand, decide when to stone for cards and when cheating is smart (and when it is dumb). At the end he gives real-world examples and allows you to watch him do his read in real-time. A must watch for any Malifaux player wanting to up their game.
