Never? :/ I'm so sorry everyone

And that's why only being allowed to lay it on turn X+ (4 in our case) makes it a better card in the sense that it forces an actual decision, estimating who is ahead (in 3p+ games of course), instead of possibly just targetting a random opp. during the first gen

ahah well, if its not good early, then its even worst late, right? (: unless you have a bunch of jovian x1 and yeah, its not the best card to play gen1, but sometimes its all you have.. (: i have played many games when i just skipped the whole 1st round, i would love to have one of those to play, an...

Abtsein that is probably the perfect example, and why doing 2 actions can sometimes make it a better game, besides making it faster to play With original rules the best play is super obvious in 99% of the games, I guess anyone with 2 games of this can understand it.. so, no fun, right? (: But with 2...

in my group we have a house rule where you can only play it at gen 4 or later. makes it a lot less evil towards the poor guy that gets his prod takes imagine a 3p game, 1st gen you play this and have to pick 1 of them with barely any information on their strengths, it is basically a "screw a ra...

111 players and 8 rounds instead of 7 (2^7 > 111)

we did that before, we would ask for who wants to play, and then set the number of rounds so we would get a guaranteed player with all wins this means for 16 players it would be 4 rounds (2^4) for 17 to 32 players it would be 5 rounds (because 2^5 = 32), etc but then we have to poll people, and some...
