Re: Can one card with an Expense Value of 3 be used to heal two wounds and repair one damage from an upgrade?

From e-rulebook, page 10. Stage 4: In initiative order, captains may restore :wounds from :crew and/or repair :structure from :upgrade, at a cost of :credit1 per point. Captains may elect to recover some or all of the :wounds or :structure, at their discretion. Not intuitive, perhaps, and not spelle...

Re: General Discussion on Solo Play

Not sure whether it makes sense to split off a new topic, yet. There are groups of cards that are structurally bad for many solo scenarios. But, one way to think about new cards is how existing effects could be changed to be more solo friendly. Psychic Theft would be more useful in solo play if it w...

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

Product has been printed. Product has shipped to distributor. Working with distributor on being orderable. Hope that people will be able to order soon. Pandemic has impacted timing of retail release dates, not surprisingly. Will try to give a heads up to when we think product will flow through suppl...

Gaming in 2020

2020 has been a year with something different than anything prior. Yes, Spanish Flu pandemic or the like would have similarities, and there are places in the world that had to deal with SARS, MERS, et al. But, today's world is just different in significant ways from 100 years ago and the global impa...

Playtesting First Solo Campaign

The first solo campaign cards are now available to playtesters in the restricted access playtest subforum. Why mention that in the non-playtest subforum? Maybe someone who doesn't have access wants to volunteer to be a playtester. In the past, most playtesting was focused on two-player play, with mu...

Re: Capacity Tokens

There was a point in development when we discussed whether to complete the cycle or not. We decided that we were satisfied with the current complement of advanced capability tokens. As Jeff said, there may be a reason to add the others later, but it is interesting. On a related note, :military contr...

Re: General Discussion on Solo Play

Thanks for the feedback on solo play. We were thinking a lot about how to expand the game in a way that was particularly beneficial to solo players earlier this year.

Re: Question: Class X, Startown Bar

As mentioned in the Cognition Wafer question, we plan a list of updates. We will virtually huddle up to review those with a plan to publish.

Re: Cognition Wafer and Jack of all Trades

Cognition Wafer doesn't interact with Euphrasie's special ability. As to how Cognition Wafer works, as we have concluded the card has too much ambiguity, we are trying to reword it to bulletproof clarity, but there are a variety of scenarios with the card, not that it's the only effect that leads to...

Re: 2020 Tournaments

I have in mind what I think of with competitive. Niche CCGs still had things like continental championships or world championships. There always those who prefer more competitive play to less competitive play in card game communities I've belonged to. What isn't so clear is who is trying to play com...
