And the gold but not resources to the owner of a card was something I completely missed.<br /><br />As for colonies not going tits up, its definitely something that has improved over time, but its all so easy for it to go wrong - last week we had a collapsed colony, a dodgy crisis with myself Moritz and Rich, Moritz and Rich elected to be blase ( Rich was the unknown Separatist ) and the separatist numbers leaped in a single turn.<br /><br />Smelling blood in the water Rich then just went outright for separatist play and pushed the colony over pretty quick.<br /><br />It's tricky. It can often be difficult to get those separatist numbers back down once they've gone up. We had a really unusual game this week in that I think we had 3 separatist reduction events based on churches - and we didn't really have any killer crises.Borkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456256915491568109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203941432778477233.post-61133993554433317852012-11-23T11:25:04.581+00:002012-11-23T11:25:04.581+00:00It was a good game.

Now that we've got the cooperation sussed it is more how you describe it; however, you missed the many early games where it all went tits up from the start.<br /><br />I was so right about using the Exporter btw. Also, the money cost of using someone elses card goes to them not the bank so maybe the spy wasn't such a bad idea in theory!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552867705859967601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203941432778477233.post-88204160644233924012012-11-23T11:15:04.527+00:002012-11-23T11:15:04.527+00:00It was a good game.

I thought I had it sussed. But the damn population end game caught me out - again.<br />I think I had most churches and most exploration tokens, which of course netted me a big fat zero.<br />Pfah.<br /><br />I think I will announce end game markers again in future, its helpful for everyone to know how far off maybe an end game trigger is.<br />Borkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456256915491568109noreply@blogger.com
