Having all but one person in the brig (turtling, we call it), helps when things are looking grim for the Humans. But, it's bad when things are under control, because you don't get as many actions to do useful things. The other problem is that it's difficult to get people out of the brig once the Cylons do start showing up. If you're using Pegasus, all those people in the brig are sitting ducks for the Air Lock. | |

Otherwise it's an intriguing move. Also you're right with the scouting. You could basically just skip the hard ones and have cards to spare... Totally forgot about that. | |

All but one in the brig means you'll have Investigate Committee and Declare Emergencies flowing, and everyone in the brig able to make an average contribution of say, 3 or 4 per crisis. As long as the solo free player is a not a Cylon, and you can convince people to stay in the brig, Crises will be a breeze. | |
