Triplechain - Page 14 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

Finally completed c)

Now on my list:
1) Get all of my top 10 advanced scores over 50,000 (2 left)
2) Get 50,000 in Normal mode
3) Get 60,000 in Advanced
4) Win a daily challenge (don't think I've ever been close)

Then I'll consider quitting.

my 10th best regular game is now 39,270, but i have 3 40k scores to get c) done,

miles off 1), 2) is sorted (and still my best score normal/advanced) 3) lol, 4) lololo

And thats 1) done. That pesky 60,000 still proves ellusive. 3 times today I could have got it with a decent last roll but I rolled a load of 3s and 1s instead. All the others are a long way off.

read the Dynasty post
print out the diagrams of the Dynasty post and consult them during play
practise, practise, practise until you no longer need the printed diagrams

read my strat post somewhere in between.

If you want to win a daily challenge rather than have a good rating - play against the field and hope you get lucky.

you know you play too much triplechain when...

You find yourself playing the daily challenge 6 minutes before a final exam

How often do you incorporate 3s as one of your primary chains? Maybe it's a huge leak that i almost never do.

I have no problems making chains of 3s - often a way to outscore the field. I would never make it the inner major chain though, preferably the inner minor chain (= the one that reaches 4 zones in "standard" Dynasty) and if not, the outer major chain.

You can see the top 10 the following day. Click the "winners" link at the top and you can view the top 10 from the past month or so.

Donk you should not post scores from the current challenge.

After rack 5 I played it perfectly, due to knowing your score.

Congrats on your new Advanced PR
