Best Economy Strategy - Generate 5+ Stock Per Turn from Pawns

Quick Fix

The Pawn Economy Loop generates 5+ stock per turn. Here’s the setup:

Turn 5 target: 80+ stock from Pawns alone. Combined with the right Gambit picks, the Full Gambits List ranks Pawn Parade alongside the best economy options so you know which to prioritize.

How Pawn Economy Works

The Core Idea

Pawns can generate stock every turn if you have the right Gambit. The loop works like this:

1. Deploy Pawns with protection (Rook or Bishop)
2. Move Pawns to safe squares (generate stock)
3. Pawns return to original squares (continue loop)
4. Repeat every turn = infinite stock generation

Required Gambit: Pawn Parade

Pawn Parade: +1 stock per Pawn move

This is the core Gambit. Without it, Pawns don’t generate stock.

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Build 4 Protected Pawns (Turn 1-3)

Turn 1: Deploy 2 Pawns Turn 2: Deploy 2 more Pawns Turn 3: Deploy 1 Rook (protects your Pawns)

Board position example:

. . . . .
. P P P .
. . R . .
. P . . .
. . . . .

The Rook protects 3 Pawns. Each Pawn has a safe square to move to.

Step 2: Loop Pawns (Turn 4-7)

Each turn:

1. Move Pawn A to safe square (+1 stock)
2. Move Pawn B to safe square (+1 stock)
3. Move Pawn C to safe square (+1 stock)
4. Total: +3 stock per turn from Pawn Parade

Step 3: Scale with Compound Interest (Turn 4+)

Add Compound Interest Gambit: +5% of held stock per turn
