It's Wednesday! We're more than halfway through the week. Since we are over the hump, let's look at a question!



Your first card play can do a lot. It sets the tone for the rest of the game and can help you hit the ground running. Obviously a lot depends on the shuffle, and you'll probably do a lot of that in the process of your testing.

What is your ideal first card play? Do you go with a key personnel setting things up for a strong group to start completing missions? Or do you like to get an event out setting yourself up for success on a more global scale? Maybe you'll prefer to bite the bullet and play your ship as more or less your first turn.

A lot depnds on the deck. Voyager can get their ship and key personnel out fairly reliably early on while Khan ahs to wait a bit longer, but what is your ideal first card play and why?

I like to play fast. My first turn often ends in less than a second, after slapping down a ship or 2-3 personnel who add up to 7 cost.

It depend entirely on -

1) What's in my hand and how much it costs
2) What I'm trying to do
3) What my opponent is playing

Cards in my hand at the beginning of the game cost less, so I’m drawing until I can maximize my card plays on that first turn (all else equal).
