Reverse the names and he is there.
I blame the website for asking for lastname first on the sign up page.
It's easy to play at its core, hard to play well
Just figuring out what/why I would take as my first card is bad enoguh at this point
Aristotle seems nice?
Brief overview of TtA:
You get a pool of actions each turn. You spend actions either picking up cards from the card row (ascending cost depending on how new they are to the row - the longer the card's been there, the cheaper it is. 2 cards are removed after each turn). You spend an action to play a card. Upgrade cards will have a cost in science to play. You can spend an action to build or upgrade one of your people - you'll need ore resources for this and the cost is listed on the square location on your "mat" - e.g. a Bronze mine costs 2 to build, but generates 1 ore each turn, a Philosopher costs 3 to build, generates 1 science etc. You can spend an action (and food) to buy a new people.
etc.
Three main resources - food, ore & science. You need food to pay upkeep & new people. You need ore + people to build new things, and more ore to upgrade them or build wonders. You need science to buy new tech for upgrade your buildings.
The aim of the game is to earn the most culture points - certain buildings + cards will generate culture.
There's also events you can play at the start of your turn that may trigger later. Armies to build to defend/attack etc. It's a fun game
I wonder why you guys didn't use all your civil actions during your turn? Is there any advantage to doing so? Or am I just filling my hand up with cards I can't get rid of by doing so...?
Whoever Matt is, you gotta end your turn after taking the cards
Playing in our monthly Netrunner tournament this weekend. That thing is so damn fun. Even though I only get to play a handful of games between tournaments it's just great going in and playing a bunch of randoms and you have no idea what their decks are like and vice versa.
More of Netrunner GAF needs to get on OCTGN so we can play GAF games.
Be prepared for an ass kicking, that game is really difficult. Some unsolicited advice, I've found that the two most important locations are the Buddha Statue space and the prayer circle. The Buddha statues are really important and will save your but when things get really bad so use them as often as you can. Prayer circles will help lower the resistance of one color so it helps if you have a lot of one color on the board to use the prayer circle and clean up ghosts. Do NOT rely on the dice rolls, try to gather as many token as possible. One last tip, when placing ghosts, place the easy ones on the corners. Being able to exorcise two ghosts at once is really helpful. Beyond that, success is really dependent on luck and how well you guys work as a team. Even then, expect to get your ass handed to you.
Where did you nab Exodus and was it expensive?
If you end up not liking it, trade it to me.
R of the interview is they are releasing a new expansion (known) called Toxic City Mall and a new "season" called Prison Outbreak. Prison Outbreak is going to be a standalone game but is fully compatible with the original release (which they are dubbing season 1) and the new expansion TCM. Emerson said:
Ha. That was my Christmas/birthday present to me.
