Contents.Galactic Puzzle HuntThe inaugural, a vaguely Australian-style puzzle hunt written by the generalized floorpi Mystery Hunt team ✈✈✈Galactic Trendsetters✈✈✈, occurred on March 14, 2017! A total of 282 teams solved at least one puzzle, 27 teams solved the final metapuzzle, 19 teams solved all the puzzles, and 4 teams solved all the puzzles with no hints within 24 hours of the puzzles' release times. The puzzles are still available online and we hope you enjoy them.The second occurred starting March 16, 2018! A staggering 447 teams solved at least one puzzle, 45 teams completed the hunt, 28 teams solved all puzzles, and 5 teams completed the hunt within 3 days (before hints were released).The third occurred starting March 15, 2019! 505 teams solved at least one puzzle, 30 teams completed the hunt, and 18 teams solved all puzzles.Mystery HuntFloorpi has competed in the MIT during IAP for many years, often joined by alumni and friends of hall. Historically, our team size has usually been somewhere in the 20–40 range, but today team sizes reach 60–80 and include increasingly generalized pizens.

Hunting used to take place in the lounges and residents' rooms, but nowadays is based in an MIT classroom. Past hall teams were named '✈✈✈Galactic Trendsetters✈✈✈' (2013), 'Occupy Leisure Station' (2012), and 'Desert Catbus' (2011).The Floorpi team has been called ✈✈✈Galactic Trendsetters✈✈✈ by maximum-majority voting for 2015, 2016, and 2017. It was also called that in 2018; I don't even remember if we voted. It is also called that in 2019 by sketchy range voting. In 2020, we didn't even vote.In case it is not clear, 'Galactic Trendsetters' is the name of a pretty good card in the board game Race for the Galaxy (a world that costs 5, gives 3 VP, and consumes one arbitrary resource in stage IV for +2 VP), which has since appeared in various other board games.In the past there were a fairly significant number of Mathcampers on hall, and they often hunted with Manic Sages, who won in 2012 and wrote the 2013 hunt.

I find roll is easier for new people to follow. The only I'd say is race is easier to explain the phases and how it all works. Some pie get confused about how you assign, reassign and chose which phases are played out in roll. Also race for the Galaxy let's very one participate in each activated phase, even with less power than the person who selected that phase. Roll only let's you use the phases if you have workers, or dice, assigned to that phase. I think this adds a neat development in the strategy. You're not only trying to guess what other players are going to do hut you have to setup your dice to anticipate them.

I disagree that Race is multiplayer solitaire. Race is one of my favorite games of all time, and that is simply because I love to anticipate the strategies of other players. People rave about the game Yomi, and all you do in that game is attempt to predict your opponents move. Race for the galaxy has that same mental battle, but then attaches an actual game to it.The amount of actions you save by being mindful of other players choices and strategies is one of the reasons I have played the game hundreds of times and some of the most pure interaction boardgaming can provide. People rave about the game Yomi, and all you do in that game is attempt to predict your opponents move.I'd say this is a little bit of a generalization here.

The level of skill used in Yomi is up to the player. Sure, you can make 3-second decisions and just slap any card down (oh this has a cool art. I better use it!). And you'll probably do 33%-50% okay if you have a like-minded opponent. But good players consistently destroy lesser ones. Predicting what your opponent will do is not as easy as it sounds.

You have to gauge what sort of player they are, what the strengths of their character is, what strengths you have and also what you think they think you played. Then there's the concept of optimal play which is playing blocks early on to build hands, laying attacks later to deal damage and playing dodges at the very end to do the last points of damage.I feel there's a lot more to think about in Yomi than in Race having played both a lot. Just my thoughts.

Just got it yesterday. A bit different than how I thought it would be. Thought it would be a lighter faster Race. But its about the same. There's still lots of thinking how much money to spend on dice, which ones to use, what you hope they come up as, how you plan to get more, etc. Even my friend who HATES dice game liked it, because it gives you a lot of ways to change the facing of your dice if you don't like what you roll.

Its def not gonna replace race for the galaxy cause they're different enough. Roll for the galaxy is the gateway version of Race for the galaxy even if race for the galaxy is already a pretty simple game. Roll for the galaxy is less strategic and a lot more random because of the dices and how the action phase is done by placing 1 dice on the action you will do and others dices and action that you'll maybe do if someone has selected this action which the break the essence of the action selection in Race for the galaxy. You have a lot less options with Roll for the galaxy as your hand is composed of tiles on your player board. I prefer by far Race for the galaxy.
