Gnaw has 3 tg, plus 3tg promised from tapper for his trade and political PNs, so achievable if tapper agrees.

I've also been considering a run for rex, I'm pretty sure I can be the first there apart from d'rek, but would probably be just handing gnaw cruiser 2s.

That said sol on rex is almost as annoying as winnu as we learnt from khell!


More good times. Man, I’m great at this game in one or two round bursts.

You cannot spend TG to remove custodians token can you?


Of course you can. Trade goods can always be used as either resources or influence.


Ah, I thought D'rek said in previous games that the custodians token was special. Mainly the reason I was needing extra TG's, making sure I had enough influence from my planets. Overlooked from my part then. I'll have another think about what I want to do.

It is crazy how more than 3 people had designs on Rex this early in the game. Everyone trying to get there first for that extra instant VP.

Bonus. Victory point is nice. Very.

Goal. Agenda phase!

Double-checked, found nothing that would preclude you from spending Trade Goods as influence.

Tapper I'd still like to deal whether or not Macaw pull off whatever they're going to do. I'd like to be able to act if the opportunity presents itself.

If I really wanted to stop Twelve, I'd put my cruiser from Lodor in the sky of MR. That would force him to choose between:

1. enter Mecatol, fight me and lose a VP through my SFtT (he'd regain it through being first to claim MR, and I could then trade my SFtT for, for example, Nom's).
2. stay out of MR because he does not want to lose the Support for the Throne.

I also figured when Gnaw said he wanted Warfare that he'd make a rush for MR - it is also the solution to his low Influence problem.

Question: I know that War Suns get rid of Planetary Shield - does that also mean that Magen Defence Grid cannot be used either?

It was ruled that way when I lost MR to the despicable hordes of L1z1X last game.

As Tatts wanted TG to reach MR, and not TG to afford 2x research (as I thought), I no longer feel obliged to hold to see if I can accomodate him. I can and will play.

Gnaw, do you want me to send you 3 TG now, or next turn?
Also, just to check: isn't there a rule that says a player can exchange only a single PN per transaction?

Eh. Possibly. So one this turn and the other next. Your choice which is which.

And feel free to drop that cruiser on Ensepta. 😁

MR is a tasty planet all on its own, but the extra VP and the VP potential with Imperial is too hot to ignore.

So you don't mind paying Gnaw to take MR but you do mind me? Just for clarification. I know he asked first but you could have accommodated both requests. Other than Daemon you do have 4 resources for technology secondary.

I thought, in my ignorance/naivety, that it'd be a race between the two of us who got there and would be able to pay for it.

We are paying a Political Secret PN and guaranteed tapper got Politics. He’s hardly paying us.

Yes, rule 60.5 - maximum of one promissory note from your hand can be traded per trade.

So Tapper edit in a trade for one of the PNs.
