What would you say is the best 3-dilemma combo against Borg playing Assimilate Homeworld?

Blended + "God" if they're dumb enough to leave their ship in orbit of Earth.

Other than that, one hit stoppers like In The Pale Moonlight , Chula: The Dice can be frustrating to get through.

Sleeper Trap to ensure you have a few turns of battle to stop them probing.

Sleeper Trap can actually be used by the Borg to download ❖ Interlink Drone. Don't know how useful it would be though... :borg:

Your question was about seeding dilemmas against Borg who utilize Assimilate Homworld, correct? Then only the opponent of the encounterer (i.e., seeder of said dilemmas; not the Borg player) can download the 3 ❖ Cardies.
What am I missing? Are you considering a possible Borg-Borg match? Sounds extremely Swedish! :shifty: :lol:

It's a nice, yet pretty, ineffective trick :D Three of Nine can use Bajoran Civil War if she has leadership also.

I'd love to see more cards that utilise the secondary species on Borg.

So far, the only one predominantly used is human, and you only use that to hide them at a time location when Stop First Contact is complete

Suden, your interpretation of my original question was correct. My comment on Cardassian Trap was simply a superfluos side-note.

Neat! Yes! We need more of that!
I feel a "cool" deck coming... Or did you already have that in mind, Sexecutioner?

So... you mean that it's used in a rather negative light only -- since it hampers you when you play human Borg, correct? Or is there a positive mechanic hidden in there somewhere?

Thanks!

Ps.
In The Pale Moonlight >> Cortical Node Implant (change integrity 5 to 3)
Chula: The Dice >> Lower Decks (Never leave home without it)

3 copies of Loss of Orbital Stability.

You don't even need to seed "God" at Earth. The smart Borg player will be too scared of attempting regardless.

Can't you use multiple ships and be safe? Launch a sphere from your cube?

"God" destroys a ship opponent's choice. So you can go ahead and launch your sphere; I'm still going to blow up the Cube if you encounter and fail "God".

So the Borg need at least 2 [SCC] Comm drones (INT 7) and, e.g., Lower Decks. But we knew that already, right?
