Great Desert Race (My Results)

[geoterza]

I wanted a gold trophy for The Great Desert Race and I thought I'd share how it went in case anyone is interested.

I used the TDN guide for getting one player next to the exit and circling the other player back through the whirlwind and tug-o-war.

I started taking data at 1500 points and played to 2860 points.

Results for 1360 points earned:

30 loops total

Avg. time for 1 loop was 200 sec

Avg. points lost per loop was 11.5 points <--- so if you do a round and don't win the tug-o-war this is your loss or you gain 88.5 points with a win per round

My total game time start to finish was 4 hours.

 

Maybe this will help someone contemplating going for this trophy figure out if they have the time/inclination to do it.  I rate this game "Boring but doable!"

Congratulations and thanks for the info! Wow, even though boring, it's cool possible to play for that long. I would like to try for the trophy at some point, so I appreciate the tips.

Thanks for the tips and congrats!

Just gave it a go myself and stopped at just over 2,000 points. But looks like I'll have to wait awhile.

Any idea when they'll allow the score and put it up?

It usually takes a day or two.  Since it's late in the month I wouldn't worry too much about someone beating your score before it posts.
