Shocking Revelation is a fun card. Dusting it off for the 'completely illegal playtest tournament' I remembered using it against Connor our first Terra Prime test game.

(Racist Terra Prime) [SF] Fek\'lhr, who showed up at Earth (spoiler) via Deuterium Plunderers (another fun card), is the leader in the clubhouse.

I challenge someone to beat that.

TCM1

Round 1- Neil Timmons goes first

Plays Shankar turn 1.

Round 2- Steve Nelson goes first

Plays Shankar turn 1.



I won both of those games. Mod wins I think. The rest of the event (including the bruised rib at halftime) did not go well.

But yes, you're doing it wrong.

That same game I couldn't put 1 dilemma under in my first 5 mission attempts. If the game was 12 hours I'd never have solved all my missions. High-level 2e is merciless.

Stop bashing online-play ;) . Without it, I would practically play never... If you think the field is so lame, spice it up with your presence...

Had a tough experience against Maquis-DMZ/Event/InfluencePatternLoss recently, too. Without massive event destruction it can stall you to death, so I learned. I admire the ingenuity of that design, aber Spaß sieht anders aus :) .

He won't. Insert typical excuses here.

sorry... someone rang? :)

honestly, I haven't had Shakar in a deck in forever, and before that one day, I don't think I ever did before... 3 DMZ missions is just... rough.

I don't play online play not because I don't like it.. but for some reason we can't schedule "US only" tournaments. It's not that I don't like The Germans.. I do.. I like a lot of them a lot actually.. (yes.. you brits and Scots are in my clubhouse as well.. don't get butt-hurt) but having to get up at 5:00am to play a game.. or stay up to play at 11:00pm.. or take a 2 hour lunch to play in the middle of the day... I can't do it.. more to the point, I don't want to do it. so.. unless we can schedule "US only" which I haven't seen... then I'm out.

Also, this week in Atlanta, YOU'RE ALL GOING DOWN!!!!

cheers!
Neil

If by "Forever" you mean "December 16, 2018" then sure.
