FYI to play you have to search for turn based games

Yea I'm not sure on deep well. I really only play it if I need an energy and it gets me one of the heat bonuses at the same time, so pretty limited situations. If i only need energy there are some much other cheaper cards for that. Curious what others think

Yea sorry, I realized it was a bit of a clickbait title. More like 2 big mistakes and then some random cards that i think are overrated. The biggest mistakes are likely something general like playing point cards too early, engine cards too late, not playing towards win conditions, ending as engine p...

Some common mistakes I see players make that I think would be helpful for more people to be aware of. These are generalities, obviously there are exemptions to everything. Big 3 for Beginners: 1. Heat spam with Helion Corp. Heat production isn't that great. Also the Helion ability should be used spa...

Yea crazy draws, and your poor opponent didn't know how to cut your cards. Insects and Optimal Aerobraking are such power cards. I was surprised you didnt buy virus, even when you have protected habitats and could still afford all your gen 1 plays. It basically an always buy for me, but looking at t...

Im just happy to see Frank play the game

It isn't considered a top tier card, but would you play it early if you have nothing else, or wait for something better? I feel so broke if I play that card...

Last thread people were saying how AI Central is great when you are rich. It seems like most cards are good when you are rich, but what about when you have no early game economy cards and nothing else to do? What cards are good early on when you are poor? We all have those bad start games occasional...

Earth Cat is clearly one of the strongest cards in the game. Great in virtually every early game, most mid games and, even a fair amount of late games. It just annoys top players to see people ranked lower than them complain. This may blow some of your minds, but yes, an 100 elo player can have legi...

Here is where I don't know the exact rules; so those spots where you have to 'pay MC to X (bump a temp, place an ocean)', are they mandatory that you must pay and place the tile? If so then that's the example that I think xspui is bringing up but now that I think about it, it doesn't 'make sense' s...
