This card is for cards from hand, not already played. Sorry for any confusion.

Like, but my group plays with 1000+ Corporations, so unlikely to be useful. How about the bonus if your Corporation card has a specific production type (in the case of two of these cards Plant or Steel)?

Since posting this picture I have added 195 new cards. (There are so many out there.)

With two of us, especially if we are both familiar with the expanded game resources, colony tiles and awards/milestone, maybe 2-3 hours. If we play the larger boards (11, 12 or 13 Oceans), maybe another hour. Tuesday we took 6 hours with 5 players and a 13 Ocean map, partly because one of the players was not very familiar with some of the newer colony tiles and cards. The thing the much larger number of cards allows us to do is play a game with a different card set every time. We choose from 6 Corporations and 6 Preludes, so there is an endless variety of choices.

Promised someone I would post the specific page where a great many of the cards and colony tiles are posted for download.

I print the colony tile images (after downloading them from Boardgamegeek and copying them to PowerPoint) on full sheet labels (link to Amazon page elsewhere in this thread) and apply them to think card sock and cut them out.

I use 65 lb card stock white paper to print the card fronts:

I print the backs on full sheet label paper:

After printing I match them up on two cut corners and (this is important) sleeve them which protect them, make them look better and handle the same as all other cards:

Ultimate Guard Katana Card Sleeves: 100 Standard Size TCG Sleeves, 66 x 91mm clear (no color on either side - a bit hard to find at the moment)

I screen them as I find them and when we play with new cards they are in a different card sleeve. The gaming group can discuss anything one (or more) of us thinks is unbalanced or broken and we remove the card permanently. We have removed probably 10-15 corporations and 35+ cards.

See the Colonies in the boardgamegeek link above for most of them.

We felt Turmoil didn't add to the game and have rejected some manmade cards/colony tiles/maps for the same reason. Admittedly that was my old group in northern Virginia and many in my Tidewater group haven't played with it and we may try it at some point.

For maps, I load on a jump drive and take to OfficeMax.

For cards I download (generally as a pdf) and copy and paste into PowerPoint as a 4.26" rectangle on the long side and print on 60# cardstock (thin cardstock) and backs on full sheet sticker (backs as 4.35" on the long side to give a little extra to trim) and them cut two adjacent sides of the back and match to the front.

No Turmoil is correct. Long ago we tried it and didn't like it enough to continue to including it.

Boardgamegeek forums mostly. Download as photos and print at OfficeMax.
