Ok, since @Tom_Mc is missing, @Matt_W will you take his spot? If so I’ll post setup today.
I’m happy to take over as the chitinous horde. All turns posted here? Are you using VASSAL or a physical board to track the state of play?
All turns played here, yes. I’ll use vassal, but you guys should not need anything.
The only major rule change from printed rulebook to living rules is player order for the first turn, which proceeds from highest to lowest skeletal order per the living rules. Almost all of the other changes are clarifications, particularly with regard to how endangered creeples affect dispersal.
I bring this into question, but ok :P
It could definitely be argued, but I did a side by side, intending to make a bulleted list and that was all I could come up with that was a definite change in the rules. Everything else kind of nudges the rules: e.g. “You can’t disperse a carnivore to a biome with an endangered herbivore.”
Ok, so welcome to the Paleozoic:
Mutation Market, open for bussiness
Player Green has Medea.
Per the new rules, vertebrates (white) goes first.
Oh wait, that’s me :P
TURN 1 - VERTEBRATES (WHITE) ACTION PHASE 1
First I Mutate my archetype and take the Egg case
Then I Populate, taking 3 unborn archetypes (1 base plus the two from the new extra cubes)
Then I perform a free Resize (per J8) to bring my archetype to Size 2
Since for other players I will be posting after their turn, I will do it with my turns too.
This is the new state of the market (no need to show the board)
Summary
Is it possible to see the backsides of the cards on display?
There’s little need, the icons on the top give all the info.
Ah, I thought the cards had two different options on the backside?
Left and right set of icons.
Aha, I see! I am a plant, I have no brain yet.
This might be ill-advised:
Action 1) Mutate my archetype - Windborne seeds (like little spiders)
Action 2) Mutate my archetype - Rhizome
So now I have windblown spiderlings who can also reproduce asexually by budding from their very long limbs.
Total cost = 2; 6 unborn should cover it.
Man that Vassal module is quite fine looking.
Sorry, got caught up with work stuff. Looking over options now
So no idea if it’s good, but I see things I at least like.
Action 1) Mutate Courtship Dance
Action 2) Mutate Tongue Flicking
Let’s go for the flashy things first.
