Blend you do get one and only one warning from me: pay attention to Nova Burst discovery and who gets it. Don't forget it exists.

Oh, what's the disco?

Khell Disocvery Tile roll: 1d31 4

Discovery = +5 Science

I will keep.

You're magellan. Of course you keep.

That only counts for discarded discos or ones used as ship parts

Doesn't count for discoveries you put on the map - Warp Portal, Ancient Monolith, Ancient Orbital.

Everything else, yes.

If you discover Nova Burst, take the bonus and never use it, not sure if you would get 1 or 2 VP.

My move is going to depend on whether or not Khell keeps his hex and diplos with me, so I won't be able to move until that's resolved.

Hmm. Does that mean if he doesn't keep it your action will be to explore that hex??

No, cause I wouldn't get that hex anyway, there's still 3 tiles in the draw pile. I want to build a Starbase in my homeworld just in case an Ancient ends up moving there from the hive. With the extra money from diplo from Khell, I'll now have enough to do another explore and potential influence and still be able to build a starbase.

Two things on that. The Ancient doesn't move until the upkeep phase so you don't have to worry about it this round. Second, starbases can't move so once they're built they stay there until destroyed. That can be costly later when you need one 4 hexes away and it's sitting useless in your homeworld.

SHHHHH!!!!!!!! Let him learn the hard way.

Well, he does have a game under his belt. sorta.

But I still sting a bit from the people who told me Draco couldn't influence from the GC, so I'm a bit more willing to help Blend.

for a round or two.

I get the majority of the regular game stuff - like I already knew the part about the Starbase not being able to move, but the Hive is a new tile, so I didn't realize that they wouldn't attack the hex they move into until the next round's combat phase, so thanks again for letting me know that!

"1VP for every discarded discovery tile or used as ship part." Does not discarded in this instance mean taken for VPs? Otherwise how else do you discard discos? Don't get me wrong, I like your interpretation.

When a resource discovery is used it is discarded.

Really? Better go back and see if that affects the results of games 4 and 5. 'Cause I counted those as 1 vp for magellans.

See, they need a new word there then, because it's not the same meaning as discarding hexes. Possibly just use the word 'used', but I prefer the term 'cromulated.'

Really! Of course, the Warp Portal (2) and Ancient Monolith (3) give points for being controlled anyways. But they might not be influenced at the end of the game by the Magellan player. There's no bonus for having been the one to place them on the map... it'd be too hard to keep track of anyways.

Well, I guess the "discard" term comes from the base game before there were Magellans so everyone treated discoveries the same. You would pick up the tile, show it, and either place it by your board for 2 VP or else take the bonus. If it was a one-time bonus (everything but ship parts in the base game), you would then "discard it" into the game box, since it wouldn't be used again.

Hence why the Magellan special bonus text specifically mentions "keep the discarded tiles
next to your Player Board" because it needs to explicitly indicate not to throw them in the box.

Ugh, it's the one remaining Tier 1 hex I was really hoping not to get. That being said, I'm going to place it anyway, with the non-wormhole side pointing SW (closing CF out of my system without having to go through the hive).
