Crisis Step

Chief has spoken: There Will Be...

Riots

Admiral Chooses

-1 food, -1 morale,

OR

-1 population, -1 fuel


Yes, you have seen this one before, yet another example of cards that will be removed from my copy next time I play in real life. It would have launched Raiders and no Jump Prep, but those are ignored on a Caprica activation.

What say you, Admiral?

Boomer stays where she is, and plays a Tac - Launch Scout 2.

Rolls a 4, Raptor mission was a success.

What would you like to look at, Crisis or Destination?

Destination. We need a 2 or better for the next jump. (Actually, preferably just a 2, since the 3s tend to have nasty side effects).

Destination sent, lemme know if it stays or goes.

Crisis Step

Since both cylons are known, it's a perfect time for...

Cylon Screenings

Check of 9, Yellow and Green (Pol & Lea)

Current Player Chooses:

Pass: No Effect,
Fail: -1 morale, and current player looks at 1 random Loyalty Card belonging to the President or Admiral.

OR

Each player discards 2 skill cards.

Activate Raiders

Jump Prep: no


Boomer, what shall we do? Remember that Cylons can ignore any effects from Crisis Cards.

Keep the Destination on top.

And is everyone okay with dropping a couple cards?

Sure. I don't have any anyway, which doesn't negate that choice — from what I recall, the only discard for which a player discarding MUST have cards to do so is Roslin's drawback. Otherwise, you just discard as many as possible.

Boomer and Baltar decide to bribe the committee into getting free passes outta the screenings.

The Raiders are activated, and move next door to the lone civvy ship. Jump calculations aren't going anywhere.

Recon crisis is away, and once that and Baltar's discards are decided it's time for Helo's turn.

Gotta protect our civvy ship. I'll move to Communications and check it out. The ship will move to the southeast space in any case.

Ship's moved, and Boomer says to bury the last Crisis.

Crisis Step

Someone's been raiding the storage lockers, we've got another

Food Shortage

President Chooses

-2 food,

OR

-1 food, the President discards 2 Skill cards, then current player discards 3

Raiders Activate

Jump Prep: yes


President (whoops), how will you resolve the food shortage?

I'm the current player too, so that would be all my cards. So, lose 2 food or lose 1 and be unable to help with any crises until my next turn? Nasty choice.

Boomer, Baltar, what say you? Can you handle things without me for a round?

It would only be 3 of your cards, and both of Baltar's cards. And it's Baltar's choice, my mistake.

Is our food levels at a good position to lose 2?

Oh, right. Duh.

We have 5 food, so losing 2 is risky, especially if the remaining Super Crisis targets food, but losing 5 cards could be worse with two Cylon turns coming right up. Not sure either choice would be less harmful than the other. But if you and I drop our cards I'm pretty sure the Super Crisis will be unbeatable if played.

EDIT: Actually, none of the remaining Super Crisis cards target food. Might be worth taking the extra food hit to hold onto some cards.

My turn is next so I would have at least four cards, but then it would just be about what the crisis would be. Maybe we should see what Boomer thinks.

"I'm sorry, but the filthy Cylon Pilot and filthy Cylon Mechanic contaminated the food with their filthy Cylon cooties. We're dumping it!"

Food's down to 3, and the Raiders swing over to Aft.

Jump Prep is at -3 Pop to jump.
