TOP TEN! Mini Metro Daily Challenge Budapest Extreme 2024-06-25

Finished 7th with 947*. Share your scores.
*I felt I had a better score in me on this DC. It was hard, but not that hard. I really only had one station in peril at the end. Where did I go wrong?

Good job! I only got 872 on this.

[@DaveKaufman]

I was pretty disappointed. I felt it was a good run and got into a bad situation with single station.

[@woxiong]

@@DaveKaufmanCould see this layout lasting a few hundred more. I failed at the same place btw. Not great stations placements on this DC of course.

[@DaveKaufman]

@@woxiong I appreciate you failing there too. To me this is what make the DC exciting, that you don't know what to expect. I also feel that I could and should have been able to withstand that station's issues.

[@woxiong]

@@DaveKaufman From what I can tell, any solution to that area sacrifices something large in the long term though, unless it's something like a two-station tunnel line, which you either do early or not typically.
Plus, as you know, my typical advice is more patience EG but less in LG - & in a daily challenge it's often hard to know what phase you're in :D

[@DaveKaufman]

@@woxiong I think that's why the DC are so great...the choices you make and when you make them isn't so easy to know. I think in that area, my issue was at 5:09 I make the jump and figure that's that. There is a double circle that I'm helping out with, that's enough. But had I continued north "at some later point" to the northern triangle I would have been a bit better off.
