Board Game Arena

I'm sure this has been mentioned earlier in this thread, but playing AMC in a 3-player game is paying a lot for titanium production while only harming one other player. Doesn't seem like a great play early in the game. The player not involved watched as one opponent pays 16 MC for titanium production while the other opponent loses titanium production. Seems like a good situation for the player not involved and a sub-optimal situation for everyone else.

Holy necro revival of a thread, Batman!




Your house rule sounds fine; there's some good folks on here (<3 you Stranded Knight). They have some cool websites and videos on the cards that gain you the most ELO when played. I don't remember seeing Asteroid M Consortium.

All the attack cards are brutal in 2p for sure. There are still about 11 cards I would nerf (change) for balance reasons before I would consider nerfing AMC.

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, and many more i just paid 18$ for the ocean

and in the 3p example, being the person on the -1 end of things just makes it even worse than if it was a 1v1 ahah, then you know you had to be the one being picked, in 3p game and gen1 it was probably random, or worse.. metagame based maybe check their ELOs and attack the highest one

With the advent of Hellas, I would like to state that amc is the best card in the game, due to the fact that every player seems to have the prod due to 100% Point Luna rate and gen 7 Asteroid mining being an excellent play.

The problem with this argument is that it's highly relevant when all 3 players have a similar chance of winning, but highly irrelevant when it's a 2-horse race.

In my experience in most 3P and 4P matches you only have 1 real adversary for the victory. But yea,when there are 3 or more, it's a bad play.

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

This man Hellas'es.

It's not just Asteroid Consortium. There are lots of cards that literally break the game in 1v1. I have no idea why you would play Mars with 2p other than casually.
