I tend to dislike "mini-games" because of the way they slow things down and move it away from RFTG. I never voluntarily play the Orb, for instance. But I love the idea of a new set of cards.

I'll like it once I get used to it. Currently I'm working against 40k games' worth of mental inertia...

I understand the dislike for Logistics, but the only card I think ought not to exist in 2p RFTG is Galactic Investors from AA set. It skews the entire set, and whichever player draws it first has a massive advantage. IL is good, but it's more of an ambush game-ender. Investors, if it comes early, ma...

How nice that penalties will be canceled. Unfortunately, the server has tanked so badly for me that it won't even let me leave the game. It doesn't even register the input.

Even worse, I'm in a game that won't even let me quit, let alone concede or kick anyone else off. What fun.

I think you hit the nail on the head; RFTG is a pretty quick game, so many players, myself included, like to be able to knock off a game in 5-10 minutes. I feel like extending it over hours or days kind of kills the momentum of the game for me. But I agree, there's nothing wrong with playing it turn...

Hidden Fortress extends the tableau of the player who controls it to 14.

I don't, on the whole, hold with banning specific cards. But YonniF has a point. Investors MASSIVELY skews the entire set. I wonder how that card ever made it through playtesting. Combining it with, say, Frontier World or Industrial Robots turn 1 is pretty much game, and that's pretty disheartening....

Fair points. I'm a little confused by your statement that you have "less cards in hand." The forced 6 is in addition to your normal starting hand, so you start with 5 cards, not 4, which is actually MORE cards. This setup is definitely not to everyone's taste, and certainly plays different...

Would you mind explaining why you don't enjoy it? It's definitely an unusual setup, like Xeno Invasion + Invasion, and plays quite differently. But simply saying "it's crap" and "it sucks" doesn't really help anyone. What is it you don't like? Is it: -Not being able to choose you...
