Re: Teaching the Game to newbies

I personally still don't understand fully the intent of the :use icon. There probably was a more intuitive or user-friendly way to go about this. The issue we were trying to solve was that we knew :crew taking :action on :gear would be a common occurrence, and it would also be something we'd want t...

Re: Teaching the Game to newbies

The presentation of the icons definitely isn't ideal for everyone, and can be a challenge for the new player experience. When I demo Traveller, I explain the icons as a picture matching game. Rather than worry about what each one means. This works pretty well, though it is less effective for the ico...

Re: Rogue's Gallery and Central Supply Catalog Announced!

Really glad they're starting to arrive! I was sleeving them up and putting them into my master collection. It is starting to out grow the BCW 2100 card box I am storing the collection in right now, very happy to be having that issue to be honest. I am hopeful for another POD ship soon. I also was l...

Hello,

Just wondering if there is a way to acquire the 15 promo cards.

Thanks!
For what it's worth, three of the 15 (Buffbot-3000, GravAssisted CargoBot and Grav-Hauler) are all available in the Starter Set's supplemental deck. The files are also available for free on our downloads page.

You bet! BoardGameGeek and our Facebook page are also good places for answers, if you're ever stuck on anything else.

Re: Exerted Crew/Ships and Gear/Upgrades

Hi, I am new to the game and the rules are not terribly clear on points around exertion so I have two questions to ask; If you :exert your ship (to use its power) can you later use upgrades on the ship that need :exert for use (I understand persistent use upgrades still provide their benefit)?
