Yes. I understand. I'll try another rephrase; I was careless with my original phrasing. My original statement was a very shorthand way of writing, "I (and all players) would be well advised not to carelessly pass science cards, especially good science cards, unless there is a very good reason, because generally speaking, it is one of the most important tags, if no the most important."RoyalRook wrote: ↑06 June 2025, 04:58That's not exactly what I am saying. I am saying you could pass science and bait the game with tempo and rush it out.FrankJones wrote: ↑05 June 2025, 15:43 I didn't mean it that literally. I'm not passing Giant Ice just to avoid passing Adaptation technology.
Most people aren't likely to want to spend a dollar to "search for life" and risk being short a dollar at some key point. But, I've seen people look at Search for life and 2 other cards of little actual use, and carelessly pass search for life rather than one of the other two cards. And then, next thing you know, SFL, Quantum, MASS, AI central, Anti-grav, or whatever. People sometimes overlook the fact that SFL is often worth 6 MC to buy and play just to get Mass converter into play. Not strong players, obviously, but mid-level players, sometimes.
