    Not sure if order starts from the speaker or to the right of the Naalu, only really matters if more than one race plans on sabotaging it. It's usually rare for more than one race to consider playing a sabotage so strict order usually isn't followed. Regardless Creuss won't be sabotaging.
    I think that, strictly speaking, declarations of sabotage are supposed to start with the Speaker. I figured however that there wouldn't be many folks planning on doing so at this stage of the game, so I jumped the gun.

    Anyway, all that's left is for @Void Slayer to declare whether or not he intends to sabotage, at which point he can go ahead and pick his Strategy.

    Guessing since everyone will have chimed in at this point there won't be any more action cards played before selection but let us know otherwise if that isn't the case.

    I read in some guide that you could either a trade good or command counter for a bonus token, but don't see any mention of the CC in the rules. Is that some optional thing?

  • Iron WeaselIron Weasel Dillon! You son of a bitch!Registered User regular
    Base Set rules, page 5:
    The Bonus Counters
    After all players have selected a Strategy Card during the Strategy Phase, there will (in a six-player game) be two Strategy Cards remaining in the common play area. Before the Strategy Phase ends, the two remaining Strategy Cards both receive a Bonus Counter that is placed on top of the Strategy Card itself. A player that later selects such a Strategy Card will be able to use the Bonus Counter to receive an additional Command Counter or Trade Good.

    And on Page 9:
    After all players have selected a Strategy Card, there will be two cards remaining in the common play area. The Speaker places a Bonus Counter on the two remaining unchosen Strategy Cards.
    In this way, should a Strategy Card not be picked for several consecutive rounds, multiple Bonus Counters will accumulate on it. The presence of Bonus Counters makes a Strategy Card more attractive in subsequent rounds. When a player selects a Strategy Card that contains one or more Bonus Counters, that player may immediately exchange each Bonus Counter for either a Trade Good or a Command Counter (either of which is immediately placed on the player's Race Sheet).
    Emphasis mine.

    The Naalu would like to point out that selecting Warfare II doesn't necessarily mean we are going to war with anyone.

    I don't think that the Order of Play is correct, @MrBlarney. It should be: Naalu, Yin, L1z1X, Jol-Nar, Muaat, Creuss.
    At any rate...

    L1z1X activates the Primary Ability of (3) Assembly

    We will wait to receive our new Political and Action Cards before deciding what to do with the Speaker token.

    In the meantime, should any of you wish to beg for the honour, the Almighty Overmind will now hear your pleas.


    Also, I am leaving on a road trip this evening, so Overmind @Kilnaga will be ASSUMING CONTROL for the next week or so.

    What SeGaTai said. The order of play is correct in his post, because it was for earlier and we sort of past him up. :P

    We've also proceeded with the correct order this turn as well.

    We'll take the offer from the Yin under consideration.

    They will be trade goods later as I have none right now.
