Re: I wish this game had a mulligan system

If you are in a really bad spot you can just ask for a mulligan, I personally volunteered many mulligan/abandon when I had too good of a start. I don't think most of the top players would refuse one if it's offered at the start or early gens.

Re: Why do people play this game without draft?

Well, at the risk of speaking sacrilegiously, I don't think the designer (Jacob) understood the game all that well. He would absolutely get clobbered by any competent player. So, the argument "This isn't what Jacob intended" doesn't hold much value to me. I have yet to play a game designe...

Re: Why is Fusion Power doesn't have a point? Is it that good???

And you already said, given you're calculating all the Context is very important, much better than wanting to make global pre-determined decisions on particular cards. The context is that energy prod is so good, there is really nothing better since heat control is a precondition to win games. I hav...

Re: Why is Fusion Power doesn't have a point? Is it that good???

I am thinking Fusion is not just an ok card, we speculate on mass and anti grav in the initial draft for 2p no matter what right. I believe Fusion if pretending it has a point on it, is a great card that is worthy to be included in my initial draft. It opens up so many paths and if dropped give you ...

Re: Why is Fusion Power doesn't have a point? Is it that good???

Would it be fair to say, you have a much higher chance letting Mass or Quantum die in your hand than Fusion Power? And mathematically speaking, if there is a point on it, I am keeping it every single time; So points are pointless in the beginning, therefore I say we keep Fusion Power every single ti...

Re: Why is Fusion Power doesn't have a point? Is it that good???

That's what people like to say, but what often happens is that you ended up needing all the energies you can find. And getting two energy tags via fuel and solar wind power and such doesn't secure your energy needs. Wild tags also are fantastic. Even say you have four powers already, but if running ...

Re: Why is Fusion Power doesn't have a point? Is it that good???

So do you think fusion power is better than quantum? Considering the efficiency and more lenient tag requirements, should we kept it more in the initial draft and speculate like how we treat quantum and/or mass? Do you think it's worthy to be speculated? I think we should, the idea of it's an ineffi...

Why is Fusion Power doesn't have a point? Is it that good???

This is like one of the only science tag pre Venus that doesn't carry a point. It's in the same league as Research, Quantum, Mars U, is it really that good????? Base Cost: 17 MC total (14 to play + 3 to draft). You get 3 power prod value around (7.33*3) 22MC, science + building tag 4.5 to 5MC, assum...
