Accepting challenge from DennyA [emoji3]
Also, challenging Robthomasson!
I would have loved to buy something else, but I only drew >5 trade once in the game, and could never afford anything in the center row. I made a couple of bad choices early & never recovered.
Does also look good for you in our second game, I get the feeling your ship deserves the name heart of gold more than mine (really sorry for stealing the name, I just did not look)
Ah that is why the hand looked so familiar, I am a lucky bastard.

Mithrophon over robthomasson by 43
No goal reached. But again, I’ll take the W against a quality foe.
annie over craiggiarc 18/-19
challenges to chronic and scott!
ron > craiggiarc 20/-7
I had hopes of achieving the basic goal for awhile (after blowing way past the super goal in the 1st game…), but my last shuffle was soooo crummy that craig’s comeback very nearly succeeded.
ron 0 : holsten 2
ron 2 : craiggiarc 0
ron 0 : delirium 1
ron 0 : rainraven 0
As a member of Team Red I cleared all my Starter Cards though, does that count even though I lost?
:) The Plum Forgot discovers…
o Scrap Bot: (1x) Swap upgrades with an opponent who you have just defeated.
Thraeg is in Sector 03 and his ship Plum Forgot has these upgrades:
o Boosted Scope: Add 5 authority to your score at the end of your final game of each match.
o Sabotage Bot: Reduces (by 1) the points earned by each other player who shares your final sector at the end of the game.
o Psychic Lifeform: Adds 5X authority to your score at the end of each match, where X is the number of Psychic Lifeforms equipped by your entire team.
Would you like to swap the Scrap Bot in for one of your existing upgrades? Whatever upgrade you eject will be left floating in Sector 03 for anyone’s use.
Before he hits the jump point, Captain Rob orders Blue Steel to a spaceport, where he picks up a passenger!
robthomasson is in Sector 02 and his ship Blue Steel has these upgrades:
o Tractor Beam: (1x) If you lose but your score is within 10 of your opponent, you may use the jump point.
o Ambassador: (1x) Play before one of your teammates makes a challenge; if your teammate wins, you jump to the next sector for free.
[ open ]
Please post the score, not the point differentials, folks. Some of the upgrades do or will depend on this. Thanks! Didn’t matter this time.
Heart of Gold II takes out Blue State’s shields and the Hull Beam rakes across Rob’s flank, destroying his Tractor Beam (but leaving the Ambassador upgrade unscathed, as these results were posted more or less simultaneously, as far as I can tell from Rob’s language in his earlier post).

Holsten’s navigator spots something else in the wreckage:
o Blue Jewel: The Blue team score increases by 1-3-6-10 (etc) based on the total number of Blue jewels owned by all of the Blue team members at the end of the adventure.
Would you like to swap, Holsten? Or leave the Jewel in Sector 02?
Holsten-Knight is in Sector 03 and his ship Heart of Gold II has these upgrades:
o Tractor Beam: (1x) If you lose but your score is within 10 of your opponent, you may use the jump point.
o Flak Bomb: (1x) After you win, destroy one of your opponent’s upgrades at random.
o Hull Beam: If you win by more than 50 authority, destroy all of your opponent’s upgrades.
(Holsten jumps to Sector 03 after he decides. And your Flak Bomb can’t hit the Ambassador for reasons stated above, unless you two clarify the timing of the finish of the match, or something.)
Holsten finds another Jewel in the wreckage! Again, the color is unfortunate.
o Red Jewel: The Red team score increases by 1-3-6-10 (etc) based on the total number of Red jewels owned by all of the Red team members at the end of the adventure.
Would you like to keep this item or let it float in Sector 03?
Holsten-Knight is in Sector 04 and his ship Heart of Gold II has these upgrades:
o Tractor Beam: (1x) If you lose but your score is within 10 of your opponent, you may use the jump point.
o Flak Bomb: (1x) After you win, destroy one of your opponent’s upgrades at random.
o Hull Beam: If you win by more than 50 authority, destroy all of your opponent’s upgrades.
Holsten jumps to Sector 04 after his decision.
Could everyone please edit their original results (when you have something happen like this) rather than post later? I work through these posts one at a time, and running across this makes me have to backtrack. Thanks!
Rob’s goal-hit gives him another upgrade. A nice one!
robthomasson is in Sector 02 and his ship Blue Steel has these upgrades:
o Ambassador: (1x) Play before one of your teammates makes a challenge; if your teammate wins, you jump to the next sector for free.
o Plasma Shield: Prevent any of your upgrades from being destroyed.

You have to win in order to reach a goal, and I clarified the rules to say so. Thanks for asking, craig!
Please post the scores, not the point differentials. This is a change from my original rule, and I apologize! I’ve clarified the rule now to say “scores” and not “differentials”.
It’s okay if you don’t remember the scores from this one, Mith.
Before he sends his ship through the jump point to Sector 03, Mithrophon joins the ranks of the pretty-stone finders! A color mismatch again, sadly.
Mithrophon is in Sector 03 and his ship Men Without Helmets has these upgrades:
o Repair Module: (1x) Prevent the destruction of another of your upgrades.
o Headquarters: At the end, boost (by 2) the points earned by each team member in your final sector.
o Green Jewel: The Green team score increases by 1-3-6-10 (etc) based on the total number of Green jewels owned by all of the Green team members at the end of the adventure.
Patience Peeps explores the sector and comes up with…
o Vat of Lotion: If you lose a match but your final authority is -10 or greater, find an upgrade.
(This one was Michelle’s idea!)
Do you want to keep it or let it float in Sector 02?
ankamela is in Sector 03 and her ship Patience Peeps has these upgrades:
o Tractor Beam: (1x) If you lose but your score is within 10 of your opponent, you may use the jump point.
o Lost Colonists: Add 3 to team score.
o Green Jewel: The Green team score increases by 1-3-6-10 (etc) based on the total number of Green Jewels owned by all of the Green team members at the end of the adventure.
ankamela jumps to Sector 03 after her decision…
Ron salvages some scrap metal from the battle and trades it for a bomb! He jumps to Sector 02.
ron is in Sector 02 and his ship Blue State has these upgrades:
o Boosted Scope: Add 5 authority to your score at the end of your final game of each match.
o Flak Bomb: (1x) After you win, destroy one of your opponent’s upgrades at random.

Caught up! Thraeg and Holsten and Annie have decisions to make about upgrades. See just above!
