Round 5 settled Tourist World (2 VP, Consume 2 for 3 VP)

Finished with 25 VPs in 9 rounds with 22 VPs taken from the pot.

============

Had another crazy game, I won with just starting planet and developments. Galactic Federation and then just with Interstellar Bank and Public Works I was able to play develop every turn and then play whatever development I drew.
Just won a game with a consumption strategy: (32 - 28 - 27 - 13). I had 21 in VP chips.

Only six cards in my tableau: Earth's Lost Colony, Empath World, Galactic Resort, Free Trade Assoc <6>, Black Market Trading World (from Colony Ship), Diversified Economy.

After about 4 rounds, I could could X2 consume 2-3 goods every round. I think early blue worlds fit well into a consumption strategy.

(I am playing with Gathering Storm expansion, 4 players, with goals disabled).
