I have CO's from everyone on interrupts. Everyone passed.
We can begin the check. Since nobody played an IC, you do *not* get to see what the Destiny Deck has dealt you. Please send me your CO's. Chief, you are first on the dance card this time.
BSG
Wow. I could actually help a lot with this check. Figures.
Since we've established failing the check does nothing, I will play no cards.

Yeah, this one's actually in my colours for once. Was looking forward to playing something.
BSG
I'm thinking I can scout the crisis or destination deck.
BSG
I think Apollo has been hitting the old mans stash.
(psst. By "up to bat" I mean, what do you want to play into the crisis card check?)
BSG
Ah. Sorry. Nothing to play.

We finally tried Dominion last night. I can see why people like it. As it was our first game, it took somewhat longer than the 30 minutes it claims to take, but once you get the hang of it, it plays pretty fast.
I treated it like Magic:The Gathering and tried to figure out how to chain combinations, which put me way ahead by the midgame...but the DH played it like Puerto Rico and ultimately won. I think we'll try some other variants; I like that it's so flexible.
