Well, that's a perfect backflip followed by a faceplant.

Given that Fuel is lowest and most critical, and Population is needed for the end of New Caprica, I choose Option 1.

BT, question. I always forget. Given the number of players we have, and the rules package we have gone with, what is the toaster count possible for the game? Is it 2? Or possible 2 depending on how the cards were shuffled, and some not dealt? or some crazy stuff like that? Just wondering how suspicious to be of folks.

1 minimum, 2 maximum. Because we're playing with Exodus rules, it's possible the second Cylon card is still in the deck.

This is correct. At game start there's a 2/11 chance of a Cylon card being undealt, but this will change if extra ones get dealt, say if you execute Apollo on the first turn. And you might perceive a different likelihood depending on the number of pre-Sleeper Cylons you think there were.

say if you execute Apollo on the first turn.

If, purely hypothetically...

Yeah, we would never do that.

Again.

Food and Morale continue their slide. That concludes Adama's turn. Tory's cards are going out. President Foster, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Tory's card draw has exhausted the Politics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
