St. Patrick's Guide
St. Patrick's Mini-game Town Strategies
The mini-game for this event comes in 3 town cycles: town A, B, and C. After you finish 3 towns, you should be given town A again.
The start of a town is most important, about one hour of play is ideal and will get your town producing nicely.
Don't move on to the next town until you have around 1600 pots of gold available. 1400 pots of gold are required to open all 6 boxes, plus some to start next town and purchase managers.
Alternatively you could try to go for max towns completed and only open the free chest after each town, but at 650 pots of gold (average) to complete towns, pots of gold will still be the limiting factor.
