So boys and girls, I had an interesting experience with this one. I kind of wish I hadn't come to the page so early & saw the "trick" for how to pass(by hitting the top CB with a hammer or stripe & having it open the other cb's and then letting the game explode them). I tried that many times & when it didn't work I tried all sorts of variations of it, used a ton of boosters and nothing worked. I mostly just wasted a bunch of hammers and a CB & wrapped/striped booster. Ultimately I passed the first time by not using any boosters initially but on my 10th try then when I ended with a score of 125k, I used my gold bars I'd saved up to keep playing and because I was able to make another CB, I passed with 144k. Decided to see how long it would take to pass without boosters and ended up (combined with my previous tries) passing in 14 tries, 2 stars (147,360 points-so close to 3, grrr😡), NBU. So I actually did in a sense use a version of the strategy people were using. I did open the top CB with a stripe, as well as 2 or 3 others at various places. I think the only thing I really did differently than I would've done on my own TBH, was letting the game explode the cb's instead of doing it myself. My first try, before I'd come here, I was doing CB/CB combos because I thought that was the only way to open all the cb's. I really think it has a lot to do with what the rest of your board is like as well as luck. Just a few games prior I'd had the exact same situation, all of the cb's were opened & exploded by board but I only earned 106,900 points. I think I'd even gotten some +5s on that one. Anyway I have to say I really don't understand the mechanics with this one & why the results varied so much game to game even when you did the same thing. I wonder if I'd actually have found it to be less hard if I hadn't been trying so hard to make the "strategy" work for me. It was like trying to make fetch happen, it just wasn't going to happen Lol(did anyone get that? Mean Girls reference 😂). Anyway, overall I didn't find this one easy either which is ironic because I've been finding the timed levels easier lately. But this one was Very Hard, IMO.
