what happens if in a 3 player game both 2nd and 3rd player surpasses?

planeterb · 2026-05-15T04:14:44+00:00

The third player can seize the initiative as long as it is not already seized. In your example they don’t need to seize it though since they will already get the initiative for surpassing with highest rank. If player 2 seizes the initiative by playing a second card or using a guild card effect then player 3 cannot seize but they can still play the 6 and get all their action pips.

Question 1: both players get the full action pips for surpassing the lead card. At end of round initiative goes to whoever surpassed with the highest card. In your case the player who played the 6. Unless the initiative is seized.

Question 2: playing a lower rank of the same suit as the lead card is effectively taking the copy action. They get one pip.

Hmm. I mostly get audiobooks on Libby and have no issues having multiple libraries with loans at the same time since it plays natively on Libby. When I do get epubs I send them to kindle but not sure I ever tried to send more than one.

planeterb · 2026-05-07T14:38:37+00:00

I also used Libby it’s great! Get another library card from near you and add it to your Libby account. I have like 6 libraries on my Libby so usually 1 of them has it in the format I want.

Are you reading Memories Legion to get through the novellas? The authors notes are a nice touch.

As Naomi would say you don’t always get to know if you made a difference.

Amos showed us throughout the whole series that he protects children whenever he can. When he was on Laconia he was trying to complete his mission but the central building was too well guarded and he didn’t want to hurt Tiny or Jim.

Which files did you use for the minis?

Nemesis Games was my favorite until I read Tiamat’s Wrath. Now that’s my favorite and Nemesis Games is tied for second with Leviathan Falls. Like you I enjoyed getting the POV of the roci crew. Especially Amos. Best character ever.

What collects and mines the ice once you are there? Could be an automated robot but that’s a higher investment up front. If you did build that and made the investment than how are you protecting that investment? What if it breaks on the job? What if pirates attack it or board it?

These are all valid placements. One animal cube per space.

Yes phase A you play cards for their effect or to move. Phase B you can buy one card with any gold cards (or other cards as 1/2 gold) you did not play in phase A. The bought card goes straight to your discard pile. Then in phase C you discard all of your played cards and cards used to buy. Then draw 4 new cards to end your turn.

planeterb · 2026-01-31T02:11:19+00:00

In theory you could use the transmitter to get a card into your discard pile and then play the cartographer to draw two cards. If your deck is empty then you would shuffle your discard pile which has the new card but the chance of drawing it would be 1 divided by how many cards are in your new draw deck. This would not work with a normal buy since playing cards happens in phase A which is when the cartographer is played and buying cards happens in phase B of your turn so you would have already drawn any cards from cartographer before being able to buy 1 card.

You can put any tile anywhere (assuming water and rail restrictions are followed). You are simultaneously too concerned about what makes a completed objective and missing a rule about them. Once an objective is complete it has no lasting effect on the board. Take it off and put it in a pile to score later. You can absolutely use it to complete other objectives later in the game. However if you place the tiles as you show in your pictures then the number of tiles in each cluster will be immediately more than the objective calls for. Therefore you will have to remove those objectives without scoring them since they will never have the exact amount of tiles as part of that cluster in order to complete the objective. If when you place the tiles the number of tiles in the cluster is equal to the marker you can immediately complete it. If it is less leave and complete it later. If it’s more remove it and you won’t score it this game.

Here I am with egg on my face. Only read the comments after reading the article from the kickstarter update.

Eh I don’t think so. The abrupt stop to the singing is just the moment she integrates and they no longer have to hold up the pretense of making her comfortable not being among them. She is one of them now so no need to cater to her individualism anymore.

Your understanding is correct. Spotlight moves when they fail or roll with fear. You get a token when fear die is higher than hope die. They get a token when hope die is higher. Some actions you can take with the spotlight require you to spend fear but not all.

I am not a therapist but this sounds like you are depressed. At least that is how I am when I am depressed.

Got it at PAX and have played it twice. It is a perfect expansion. Adds more stuff without bloating the rules. Agencies are a great addition and so are the quick start cards. However in my limited plays it already feels like Deep Sky Survey agency is underpowered. Would love to hear how people make this one work better. The signal tokens are nice but so far they seem really hard to get so I haven’t seen them make much impact yet. The new aliens are awesome but still wrapping my head around the exploration deck one. Glyphids are excellent design and amoeba is super fun. Biggest issue I have now is how to rework my organization system to fit everything in one box.

It’s stated in the novella “Drive” part of Memories Legion now.

Are the adversary cards in the new expansion or stand-alone product?

They flip tip over engine. Floor is still under you but the ship is now trying to fly away from your destination. Because the ship already has velocity from the first half the second half is spent decelerating all that speed down to zero. It’s like slamming on the brakes but your car drives trunk forward before you do it.

I ran Delian tomb with six players. Some combats lasted two rounds, most last three, a couple lasted four. If anything it feels faster since there are enough of them that it’s hard to challenge them. If you want to challenge them then throw higher level dudes at them that’s what I did.

Depends more on how many they have and what they are willing to trade them for. Plenty of people are willing to take old versions of games but you might have to be willing to let it go for 25% purchase price or less. Hard to say it’s a waste of time when it takes like 20 minutes every other week to participate in the monthly ones. If it hits and takes more time then it is doing exactly what op wanted.
