Passive Scoring or How to Utilize Poison! |
Introduction |
I'm a beginner at Tribbles so rely on more experienced players for guidance. I have played a little, enough to know it is difficult to go out often enough to score enough points to win. I am trying to score off Utilize and Poison so I at least get something even if I don't go out. |
|
Round 1 | | | () |
First round worked great. I hit Sean with a Poison for 100,000 points. Having such good luck with him, I made him the target for the rest of the round and scored my best round of the tournament, 120,100 points. |
|
|
Round 2 | | | () |
This round had much smaller hits from Utilize and Poison. I also had to change up my target from Sean so as not to reduce the size of his hand too much. I managed to get some points, but still can't seem to be the first one to go out. 11,011 points. |
|
|
Round 3 | | | () |
Round three was very similar to round two. I came close to going out a couple of times, got down to one card, but couldn't get rid of it. So Poison and Utilize kept me in the game with another 11,100 points. |
|
|
Round 4 | | | () |
We were making pretty good time so nobody was worried we might not finish all five rounds. That's good I guess. It was another average round with no one breaking any Tribbles scoring records. I didn't track who went out each round, but I can say with some certainty that it wasn't me. 10,330 points. |
|
|
Round 5 | | | () |
This was my worst round. I was only able to score 100 points of one Utilize. I didn't get the right cards at the right times to do anything else. So, that was pretty much how it ended. |

Closing Thoughts |
I like Tribbles, it is fun and everyone gets a good laugh during the game. I like the passive point scoring since I don't have the understanding of the game to design a deck to "go out" for the really big points. I'll keep watching how it's done though and eventually build something that can win by means other than "luck." (Like today):-) |
