If billy hadn't walked me through things I'd have been utterly lost.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

I had a way steep learning curve with RtfG IRL. So much so that I put it away for a few months, before trying it again and realizing I love it.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Yes. Read the manual. Wait a day. Read it again. And keep the turn guide card handy. Above all, learn from BT. I'm still learning things about the game.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I swear I read the manual but yes BT is really dragging me along.

Last game I was able to make suggestions and BT kindly said, "Sorry, that won't work because of X. You can try Y."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am of course always here to help. Meanwhile, everyone has chosen which card to keep. Next is Phase IV. Laga has no Consume powers and Connie has no trade goods, so they don't participate. chrismg and omnis both chose to trade a good, and both have a Brown good to trade. They draw 3 cards each.
Phase V is last. chrismg and Laga have no production worlds. omnis produces a Brown good on Comet Zone, and also draws a card for doing so. Connie, who chose this phase, produces on her two Blue worlds.
That concludes Round 2. It's time to choose Action cards for Round 3. Everyone, please let me know what you choose.

It should be with you now. (I send out hand and layout updates after every turn, so if it doesn't arrive, let me know. That could be the case here, my email's acting up in odd ways just now.)
