If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, ...

If I know all mysteries and all knowledge, ...

If I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love,

I am nothing.


I hereby commit to contributing to this site without any rudeness, sarcasm, accusation, or any other unloving speech.

This question currently has one vote to close. I think this could be a good question, if it were phrased properly.

Note: Peddler costs $8 in the Black Market, unless lower due to Bridge or [that new card that lowers prices by one]

comment When to buy cards costing 1 “Rune” in Ascension?
Thanks for the answer. I actually haven't played Ascension proper since the SoS expansion was released on iOS, but I probably play 3-4 games a day of RotF/SoS. The 1-rune cards in SoS are worth - at most - as much as Lifebound Initiate, which is still pretty low in my eyes.

@Steven: Please see the corrected version of the question. Even though Spike Vixen is outside the scope of the (corrected) question, I will comment that I would rather buy a Heavy if it's late in the game, to prevent my opponents from having access to a potentially better card that would replace SV (for example).

(If someone would do me the favor of cleaning up the formatting, I would greatly appreciate it. For some reason I can't get numbered lists to display properly...)

comment When should I avoid a small ship strategy?
The possibility of avoiding certain negative events does not outweigh the need to have thrusters, batteries, guns, and storage bays. This question seems backwards. Of course, we usually only play this game as a "gateway"...

comment If I am going to build a small ship, which direction should I build toward?
Why not just "waste" five seconds placing one tile in any direction, and then look at the cards?

Strangely, I've never had any trouble with anecdotal evidence!

In the planning phase, can't the other players choose the card-heavy spots, and force this guy to another strategy?

comment Variations in scoring “his nobs” and “his heels”
My family has a cribbage board where the track is the shape of the numbers "2,9". Guess they'd have to get a "30" to play with this variant!

The rules of the ACC don't explicitly mention how to count. The overall tone of the rules promotes politeness and grace...

Out of curiosity, why are we limiting the discussion to estates (and not coppers)?

"Monopoly isn't fun" - hah! (+1) for that, though the rest of that line is hard to parse.
