    Nothing good, so let's score again.
    I already sent the bonus choice to @Ketar so @Daemonis can go with his score event.

    In hindsight, I would have been better off just Scoring on my turn. You're my rival for those tech bases, and I we would have scored with you not having an event to play. Plus the whole "not having to pay a victory point" thing.

    I was looking at my first tech and thinking it was too strong to ever pass up the chance to use AP during my turn.

    Will draw card when I get back from getting my stitches out!

    Select Thoth

    Hybrid draw is Captain Yvgeny, only 2 AP so only 2 Martian influence removed

    @preda to wrap up

    What a mess...No card play. Let's go on with the score. The belt is the bonus area again...
    Should be:
    - 14 points for earth,
    -9 points for OPA,
    - 12 points for ProtoGen
    - 7 points for mars.
    Good score!
    @MrBody for refresh and control.

    Rocinante control isn't very valuable when the previous owner leaves it parked on the far end of the solar system :(

    @MrBody OPA gets an extra point from second place on ceres, Un get the extra point from Ceres being mineral.

    Righto. Protogen still in last place with Rocinante control.

    Can't update right now. But the cards have been updated on the board. Everyone gets a replacement fleet on their home orbital. Tech IIs unlocked.

    So it seems everyone figured out the trick to scoring: rather than scoring where you then shifting your influence to follow where it's going, you score the areas you aren't early on so the system you're strong in is scored last for the most points.

    @Phyphor used his event last score, and has nothing to play now. @MrBody , who's next, instead has still a card and the rocinante. Also remember that everyone has an extra fleet in their home base.

    Interesting.
    Not sure how that gels with the final scoring phase.

    Weird card. How often is someone other than Mars going to have Mars orbital control?

  • Options
    PredaPreda Registered User regular
    Not often, but you can still put an influence on a base and have an almost assured second place...

    Or be UN, put a diplomat and force Mars to lose an action to reinforce it...
