I bought 100 real nice plastic pirate gold tokens to replace the cardboard ones. They look amazing, very bright, just like gold. Then I bought a small wooden pirate chest to put the Inn’s gold into. This all makes the game so much more enjoyable to play!!

When making teams, always look for characters that work well together. It is easy to overlook this when you want your favorite characters on your team. Your favorite characters don’t always work well with or off of each other. Find three or four characters that interact with each other in battle, or fielding,or purchasing. The other four or five characters are there to defend against some of the sneaky stuff your opponent has put on their team.

If at least half of your team have the same affiliation and you plan to get them all in the field, consider using the Teamwork basic action card and buying those dice early, before your opponent buys them. That card has won me many games! Before you begin play know who your winning condition character or combo is and always work towards that goal. I hope this helps some!

I have a really powerful team of Dragons. But I am so used to buying dice on my turns. It is an effort to resist buying dice so I can use the energy for the Dragon’s breathe ability. This can be devastating to your opponent after only a few turns, especially if you can get 2 or 3 different dragons fielded!! You do have to attack to use the breathe, but breathe damage happens before the regular attack! Hopefully there are no opponents dice left to attack! I love dragons!!

When I open a booster pack, the cards immediately go into a Dragon Shield sleeve. No cheap penny sleeves for these cards. The Dragon Shield sleeves flatten the cards right out and there is no UltraPro dot getting in the way of the dice numbers at the bottom of the cards.

I have built several teams and I simply put all the dice and cards into a medium sized dice bag and close it up. Now I can take that team wherever I go to play and/or several teams.

I have played this amazing co-op game twice now. The token counters tend to get messy and complicated when on the ships. Do we add to the number on the card or replace the number on the card. The ships weapons and defense numbers are constantly changing. Seems a lot of precious game time is used to mess with these number tokens and there are no number 2’s or 3’s or 4’s to help. So I ordered dice! Yes, red dice and blue dice, 36 6d/12mm of each color. My group is going to be playing this game very often so dice will be so much easier and faster to keep track of the constantly changing weapons and defense of all the ships.

I played this recently with friends and two of us tied for both tie breakers in the rulebook, the most victory points and the most Arch enemies. So for future games we came up with an additional tie breaker. The player with the fewest corruption cards will be break the tie and be the winner.

The Borg co-op scenario is easily played as a one player game. Just deal yourself out 2 or 3 starting decks and go from there. It is great practice!

Some players find the Cylon Leader characters in the Pegasus expansion a little too intimidating. So leave them out of the selection pile. The game plays well without them. But if you do play with them, they do give the Cylon traitors a slight edge in the game!

One of my players of this game likes to put the cheapest cost cards on the top and the most expensive cards on the bottom. So if you can only afford a cheap card, you do not have to look at all the cards, only the row you can afford. And he claims to not have OCD! LOL

Ships do not belong in deep space waiting to be found. So lets put them into the starbase deck. When a player reveals one to the starbase, he may then either diplomacy it or combat it. This will also make the ships less common than when in the smaller space deck.

There are cards in the main deck that cost zero to buy from the path. I would like to shuffle all these cards into the top half of the main deck. This would allow for a faster start while we are slowly buying and building our decks. Less chance of a turn with not enough in hand to buy a card.

Some of the cards have tricky wording. So reading the confusing cards several times and even asking the other players for their opinion will clear things up. The rules do not explain specific cards like in DC Comics DBG from same company with same game mechanic.

When you get the right combo of cards in your deck, Superman is unbeatable. The High-tech hero and Man of Steel are very powerful when you collect the super power cards. The Fortress of Solitude location is great too, if you can get it. The Heat vision lets you destroy the weakness cards and the vulnerability cards. Lots of power is in Superman’s hands to defeat the super-villains. One last tip: buy all the draw card cards you can!

Ok, I played this game once now and will reserve my opinion of it till I try it a few more times. It is composed of many familiar games, many of which have always frustrated me. So, I recommend letting everyone practice their game roles a few times before actual game play. A definite science fiction theme!

I like the idea in say a 4 player game of having teams playing against each other. That would be two cylons vs 2 humans in a 4 player game. Add another You Are A Cylon card to the loyalty deck at the beginning of the game. Then when the 2 cylons are revealed, they can work together against the 2 humans.

I have played this 3 times now and it isn’t getting any easier or more fun to play. You really need to place the best planets nearest to you, preferably with tech bonuses. And I say do not worry about the preliminary objective right off the bat. Try harder for the public objectives, read them every turn before the turn starts, get very familiar with them. Good luck to you!!

I think adding more “rocks” and a different color for each player may extend the game and the fun a little longer. You just don’t want this game to end in a mere 5 minutes time!

This game takes forever to play. I have played it twice now and not finished it. Better be prepared to buy plastic tackle boxes for each color ship to hold all the parts. A very good game.
