Christopher Hunt (Magna, Inc.):
Thaks to Chris for gaming the complex game well and working his way
through our endless discussiosn on what to do. The ones
with 4 were easy wins. There were several times I worried
this time with three but we ended up with if you translate cards into
money with the same resources as at the beginning of the last turn as
when we stated. This was for the first time since we
started. I still think production and research are better
than engine building of heat and plants.
But the temptation in the early turns with much money, nice cards and
few shifts is tempting. What do the others
think. Cold we have had heat and palnt engines?
Kevin Wilson (Burstar):
I admit a couple of times when we didn’t clear a crisis card I feared
them piling up on one another but we got by. I think we did get some
fortunate dummy draws and order of the final series of crisis cards
before the window opened.
All the 4-player games were won. I’ve missed the last couple of games but have any 3-player not won?
Still, glad we pulled it off. Thanks to my co-mega-planners for saving Mars and to Chris for running the game.
Bill Scharf (Interplanetary Cinematics):
Thanks for running the game Chris, I got tired of the cross talk
miscommunications, I can only imagine how it was for you. I’d say Kevin
had a very strong heat engine (16 heat at game end doesn’t just
happen). My four plants were a lot weaker, and that was reduced by half
at game end. Money has the advantage of including tr, so it grows much
faster than heat or plants, but good heat and plant engines take
pressure off of money, which while very useful, can’t carry the whole
game, in my opinion anyway. It was a tense, close game, a couple of
charges in the phases pulled could have made a big difference.
