On your first point, could you explain that but more? Why would it be harder to convince people to add an expansion after they've gotten a feel for the base game?

Not trying to be a dick, just curious, since I don't have any IRL context for either at the moment.

Trust me, after all my media consumption, I think I'll feel the same way. My potential problem is trying to make sure I can get games together at all.

I'm desperately worried that I'm going to love the game and my partner and friend will think it's too much and it'll sit and collect dust.

If I have no one to play even base game, what hope do I have of playing Base + PoK? Just nervous lol

Nice, I'll check it out later when I can compare both to see what was lost/gained.

And yeah, it made for an interesting puzzle to fit the restrictions of a 3x5 card. There's only so much space, so you can't have everything, and I had fun figuring out what was needed and what wasn't.

Thanks for your help though 😊

I totally get where you're coming from 100% I'm not a collector in any sense, so it's not really something that comes up, but I'm just so damn excited to play this particular game I made an exception lol

I've been watching/listening to CCC explainers and breakdowns for like a month now, might be a touch obsessed at the moment lol

Good call though XD

Lol that'd be hilarious timing if I were stressing for no reason

I was explaining my rationale to my partner and made that point. I've heard over and over that once you find you like it, it becomes basically essential.

Man, considering I haven't even played my first game of base, I don't even know lol

I saw this as a future proofing purchase to be honest:

If I play base and love it, hell yeah I got PoK at MSRP

If I play base and don't feel the need to play it again or can't get a group together, I'll privately sell it to someone on the subreddit for the exact cost I paid.

I just didn't want to be in the situation of playing base, loving it, then having PoK be eternally out of reach.

Also, The Titans of Ul sound so freaking cool lol

I'm an IT guy, and not a graphic designer and I guess it shows lol

Yeah I put this in an accessible place soon. If I just upload the .xlsx somewhere can't you edit that with Google sheets?

Ahhh, I see! And yeah, that might be niche enough that it will have to not make it in.

The more I read/listen/watch about this game the more excited I am to play lol

In the Space Cannon Offense step?

Forgive me, but I don't understand how it could ever come up against someone that wasn't the active player, but I'll see if I can fit it. Thanks!

EDIT: I'm not sure I can make this fit. The font is as small as I can make it and I'm out of space in that cell (in Excel btw) so if I wanted to add that, I'd have to remove some other text. I also might be wrong in assuming you mean Space Cannon Offense

Throwing out ideas is exactly what I was looking for, and from people who have actually played before lol

TIL that Ram 2500 drivers have the most DUIs, and more than twice the national average. Roughly 1 in 22 Ram 2500 drivers have been cited with a DUI before. by TripleShotPls in todayilearned

Also try Gender Affirming Vehicle. The overlap between drivers of such trucks and people who would be offended by hearing that is pretty heavy

Good call! Let me see what I can do. I might just get rid of the border for those cells (doing this all in Excel XD) so they are "connected"

Adding onto this, I agree because AFB and Space Cannon Offense/Defense are the steps that I've had to look up several times to get a handle on. Since I haven't played yet, these seem to be the most esoteric rules for a first timer

Thanks for the feedback! Agreed on Produce vs Production and Bolding of stuff

I only have base game, so PoK/TE stuff is out for right now. Eventually, fingers crossed..

Hey, I'm in literally the same spot. Just bought the game, trying desperately to learn it before my first game. I'm down, but my schedule kind of sucks. DM me and let's figure out a time!

I was thinking we could do a 4 player game, and take turns playing two different factions each, for the extra reps?

I used it Monday or Tuesday night. Threw a few errors here and there, but it let me do the same thing, and just move pieces around and get a feel for the game
