Just bumping this thread rather than starting a new one. But this skull strategy seems to be quite effective and in the last half-dozen or so games. It has been a very dominant winning strategy scoring anywhere from 95 (if played poorly) up to 126 with more ideal play involving a monument in 4 player games.
Not to say building or corn/temple strategies can't do the same but there's just so much more competition for buildings.
As far as scoring more than 95 points, I've seen it once in a 3 player game via a building strategy but that's it.
I am curious if people have seen more competition on the chichen itza wheel than in our games? Most of the time there's only 1 skull player, and perhaps this is where our group-think has caused this strategy to dominate so severely. So can 2 people feasibly share the chichen itza wheel and still post competitive winning scores?
