The rules for supernova and pulsar are pretty basic, you can find them here:

Ok, I have the core game files all in my graphics file. Next task is compiling the expansion content from the thread.

[Gnaw]

When are you planning to start this?

[cerveza_fiesta]

I think 2 weeks now

[cerveza_fiesta]

Expansion content compiled.

I sent d'rek a short shopping list of the few remaining things, but I should be ready to compile the board before much longer.

Feel free to join Gnaw. This was a blast to play.

[cerveza_fiesta]

@Gnaw,

Still spaces left. Just lemme know if you want in and I'll add you to the list.

Ok, so the game file might be too big for a single image. I might be looking at having 2 exports - 1 for the playerboards and 1 for the hex map.

Here is a taste of what it will look like with the game underway.

Nice! But what the frack is the second board and the last board in the first row below the hex board? Not seen those before - what are they for?

I'm betting the last one is to keep a running total of points. I'm not sure what the second one is though.

Oh and I like the PDF file a lot.

I took another look at the file and if I had to guess I think that second board will probably be used to track the techs somehow. Like I said it's just a guess.

[cerveza_fiesta]

umm...2nd one is in-game developments?

we played with those last game.

EDIT - AAAh nevermind.

that second blank board is just for putting stuff in temporarily - like rare techs up for grabs and stuff like that.

EDIT EDIT - yes, last one is a scorecard. I haven't expanded it for the 3 new colours yet, but that's the idea.

D'rek has gotten me the rest of the tiles I need. I will do my best over the weekend to get them all ready to go for next week. We are waiting a bit for one of the players, yes? I can't remember when he is back.

[Tattersail_]

He is back next Thursday dude. Tapper.

I am excited. I wish me all the best.

So we're nine players?

Where are you getting 9 players? I see it as 7 as does the signup list that CF has listed. We lost EM and IH from the last game and added you and Tapper for this upcoming one. Gnaw may or may not be interested he hasn't posted anything indicating he would like to play. Someone might want to ping STD to see if he would like to go again.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Gnaw would be 8, but he has not confirmed.

7 players was fine if it comes down to that. I'll do whatevs.

Well you could do a player randomizer to get the order of play established and just submit player #8 and a #9 in for whoever else might sign up just in case. Then have people submit their top choices of what race they want to play if either Tapper or the maybe #8 or #9 is ahead of them in the pick order. This might help speed up some of the last little bit of setup so when Tapper gets back all that is needed is for him to select his race and then we can hit the ground running.

Of course I'm an impatient cuss that can't wait for the next game to start.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Holy antsy pants.

I want to make it 100% fair to everybody so we all have the same amount of time for strategizing and find out board layouts/races all at the same time.

Just be patient.
