    Hope there are no hard feelings, saw an easy VP that wasn't going to hinder your next turn most likely

    We learned that move from Jol-Nar.

    I'm sorry, did something happen? My defense systems just shot down a few stray meteors.

    Hmmm....these military VP objectives kind of snowball with encouraging people to pick on the weaker players and leave the leader alone. Totally calling this game for Creuss right now. Short of a major unified effort I don't see anything dislodging his lead or position, but there's really no incentive to do that instead of going for the easy VPs.

    Game over, man!

    I'm curious who here has played this before.

    I've played a few games of TI in-person but only the base set.

    I've played a few half-games in person (normally the games takes two nights since we can only play for 3~4ish hours a night and it takes 6ish to do a full game for us ...) and maybe one complete game? Can't quite remember. Certainly not enough times to have much familiarity with the races or even the newer strategy cards.

  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    Never IRL, been apart of a couple games now on here

    Well, at least the Objectives in the expansion are more conducive to generating combat than those found in the base set.

    Creuss is the only player who has not yet passed.

    I have played the base game twice (once since we started this one). I was Jol Nar in my second live game, and I think that this has proved to be a very useful education.

  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    Creuss

    Activate Lodor, Build 5 destroyers, exhausting Mirage(1R) and 4TGs

    PASS on following turn
