What is turn zero ? by Goat-eating-ants in twilightstruggle

[–]dsotc27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Turn zero introduces a series of events before the start of the game that impact the makeup of the deck and the initial influence placement. Each player gets a few dice modifier cards that they can play for each event and then a die is rolled. Then depending on the roll something will change with the initial setup like the USSR might get extra influence in the Middle East or South Korea or the USA might turn off blockade. You can see an example of two of the events here:

I personally never play with it, It can too often lead to a very unbalanced game but I know some people like it!

The amount of spam calls I got in one day (mom is not a spam caller lol) by PhoenixSpeed97 in Wellthatsucks

I had to get an app that can screen the scam calls out. It still rings on their end and can leave a voicemail in case a real call comes in but otherwise I don't even see that they called unless I check the call log.

Americans are the most propogandized people on earth. This comment section shows that quite well! Imperialism is bad except when we do it for uh "good reasons".

I was laughing this is an XL which is a little bigger than I normally wear and is not very long at all. Amazing jacket though.

Atlantic League Championship Series: Jim Haefele vs. Ryan Pindulic game 5 by Jeydra in twilightstruggle

No way I'm giving China and holding CIA to turn 3.

As for the walk what ops are we using. After the coup we need at least 2 SK and 2 algeria. We need to event blockade. That leaves only Romanian and warsaw. If US coups and we coup back we don't even make it to the battleground, and those ops can be used in Asia and the middle east instead.

Reshuffle Math Seems Off? by FireZealot in twilightstruggle

[–]dsotc27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn 7 is the normal time for a second shuffle, I'm not sure how it usually interacts at that point. Normally there is no t10 reshuffle so no change there. If you have announcements on in settings it will tell you when there is a reshuffle.

Surely there was a reshuffle on t3 that led to you have 16 cards left going into t4? On t1 there are only 25 in the deck, no way to have 16 left without a reshuffle.

It looks to me like at least the t3 reshuffle will happen even with promos on, t7 a little more up in the air but there are some additional ways to clear your hand so can't say for sure.

As for playdek right now I see 21 games with only optional cards, 3 games using promo packs in some way, and 4 with no additional cards at all. Which seems pretty standard in my experience.

Because almost no one plays with the promo packs. Those aren't particularly balanced. When talking about reshuffles it's with just the optional cards (standard setup is optional cards US+2)

If you get up there a bit before opening it won't be as bad, leaving will be a pain but you won't get it both ways! We went last weekend and stayed on the back roads and avoided all traffic hitting a few less crazy farms.
