[INWO-list] Comeback Quiz: Basic Solutions

[martin laerkes]

Hi all,
here are solutions 1-3 for the Comeback Quiz. All of these pertain to the 
basic goal.
There are still plenty of options out there, so feel free to give it a go:

***1: Criminal Overlords.***
Remember that in a 4 player game the basic goal is 11, and you've got an 
illuminati + 5 groups.
Criminal Overlords is the only doubler goal which is not affected by your 
power1-2 restriction, so with that in hand you are quite close to the basic 
goal. Combine with one of the powerful privilege cards and you are good to 
go.

Groups: Manual Noriega, Semiconscious Liberation Army, Arms Dealers, Ollie 
North, Savings & Loans.
Plots: Criminal Overlords, 2 x Censorship.
Ollie and Manual can each play a Censorship to take Ronnie Reagan and Nancy. 
If one attack fails, Bavaria can use its privilege to try again.

***2: Big Slurps***
Another way top achieve the basic goal is simply to slurp cards that count 
double.
For that, you could use another great slurping card: Alien Abduction.

Groups: Saucer Landing Strip->Local Clenches, LPDs, Druids, Prince Charles
Plots: Hail Eris, 2 x Alien Abduction
Use the Landing Strips 2 tokens to take over Lama Ramadingdong and Jesus B. 
Then use Bavarias Privilege (w. aid from Druids) to take over St. Janor 
Hypercleats. Move LPDs as a puppet of St. Janor to give him power 3. With 
Hail Eris, you're at 12 groups.

***3: Basic Goal***
You could also just go for the basic goal. But you'll need a lot of 
privileges and a big slurp bonus. Is it possible? With one of the big combos 
in the game, it sure is:

Groups: NASA->England, Al Gore, Connie Dobbs->Pro Sports.
Plots: Back to the Salt Mines, New Federal Budget, Saint of Sales.

Link Connie to Pro Sports to give her power 5, allowing her to power Saint 
of Sales, in order to give the Black Helicopters to England. Using Back to 
the Saltmines, England now has 10+ privileged attack to take Canada and 
Italy from hand. Pro Sports and Al Gore moves these to unblock Englands 
arrows. England gets a token from NASA, and slurps Finland. England gets 
NASAs token, and slurps Finland. Bavaria powers a New Federal Budget to put 
a token on England, NASA and Al Gore, and Al Gore moves Finland to his 
second control arrow. Finally, England uses its new token, and then NASAs 
token to slurp up France and Germany.
If all your 10+ rolls succeeded, you're at 11 groups.

Cheers
Martin :)
