Board Game Arena

In fact dessp was the one with Mars U, olympus conference, restricted area, and lots of other fairly strong cards that were never played until generations 9 and 10 when it is too late.

MU plaid on gen3, immediately when it get bought from the draft. Restricted area plaid on gen4, when it was received. So, I dont know what you are talking about.
But that cards where giving me mostly useless cards, in comparison when the other player was getting from his draw. All that described in initial message of this topic. If you dont see luck him on drafting, reread explanation

And also production cards such as fuel factory and asteroid mining consortium are a complete waste of money to play beyond gen 5 unless you know for sure the game is going very long

This card is giving 6 swing in money production. Even in 3 generation is is 18. So, why not?

Gen 4: I am not buying small animals or land claim. Too many cards. Natural preserve and restricted area are fine. Restricted area should go on the steel spot next to the ocean. 4 dollars worth of stuff is better than one plant. No Reason to play Ecozone yet. Lunar Beam + Miranda should still be taking priority.

I bought landclaim for MU, to have something to swap. I bought small animals to stop him for getting forests. Having a lot of plant cards will allow me to control the oxy.

I plaid restricted area + eco zone to block him from ocean walking. and it was brilliant idea, until game decided, that this guy with 700 need to have second chance, and give him mining area from random draft (which i explained on original message).
