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

Plus, nobody has a wildcard vp card played either. Rather close game!

I have everyone's orders.

Connie Neil: Phase III - Settle
omnis: Phase III - Settle
Laga: Phase II - Develop

Everyone's in an expansionist mood. Phase II is first.

Connie and omnis both pass. Nothing to see here.

Laga plays Investment Credits. She gets -1 cost for choosing this phase, so it costs her nothing. This card gives her -1 cost on any future developments.

On to Phase III. Everyone, if you haven't sent me COs, please do so.

Orders for Phase III:

Connie plays New Vinland for 2 discards. This is a Blue production world, and lets her consume 1 good for 2 cards. She then draws a card.

omnis plays Secluded World for 1 discard. This is also a Blue production world, and lets him consume 1 good for 1 card. He also draws 1 card.

Laga passes.

That concludes Round 7. I'm about to head off to Bendigo, just for a couple of days. If I have an internet connection up there, I'll post the summary later today. Meanwhile, everyone can send me their choice of Action card for Round 8.

Apple Game Center

I received a friend request me in Apple Game Center from "KGH BPC Miss Linda Lemke", Was wondering if she was from here? Don't recognize the name, doesn't pop up as a friend of a friend in Facebook, and of course, Apple, in their infinite wisdom, doesn't offer a contact button.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I got Transformers: Devastation for Christmas and I'm having a blast with it. While the combat is very different (as a game where the Autobots and Decepticons harmlessly shot lasers at each other for hours would be pretty boring) my inner 8 year-old is loving being able to control his favorite cartoon.

Time to get paid. Phase I (Explore) is first. omnis chose this phase; he looks at 3 cards and keeps 2, while the others look at 2 cards and keep 1. Cards are going out now. Everyone, please let me know what you keep.

Everyone has made their choice. Phase V (Produce) is next.

Connie produces 2 Blue goods, and discards 1 card to produce 1 Yellow good on Damaged Alien Factory.

omnis produces 1 Blue and 1 Brown good. He then draws 1 card for producing on Comet Zone.

Laga produces 1 Blue and 1 Green good. She draws 2 cards, 1 from Gem World and 1 from Consumer Markets, as she produced 1 Blue good.

And that's it for this round! Everyone, please send me your choice of Action card for Round 9.
