Total Confusion, Massachusetts State Championship: Joey Ferreira

After the long break in March and April, your favorite strategy puzzle is back and ready to test your knowledge of strategy, card pool and making the most of your finely honed kung fu!

This month's puzzle comes to us from Steve Feldon!

THE PUZZLE:

How much power you can gain because of the Molten Heart in a single turn?

You're in a duel. Your opponent goes first, and has an predictable play strategy: every turn, he plays a single Manchu Soldier at the leftmost location tied for the minimum number of characters and, if he can afford it, a Great Wall in the front row (if he can legally play a Feng Shui Site.) He never attacks, always tries to cancel each attempt to steal power from him with precisely one Great Wall--the leftmost unturned one--and intercepts as evenly as possible, with any extra Manchu Soldiers intercepting the attacking characters with the highest fighting.

Many apologies for the extreme tardiness of these results. Without further delay, here are the winners of February's contest:

"Any Way You Can"
Jonathan (eldrich108@yahoo.com)
James Holder

Both puzzles - "Any Way You Can" and "Numbers Game"
James Gibson
Jim Sensenbrenner
Jan Malina
Scott Shen
Clay Utley
John Monnett

The solution can be found to the right of these headlines under "Puzzle Garden #6 Solutions."

Many thanks to all players who submitted answers!

Cheers,

Daniel
