BTW, by my calculations, this is the last destiny draw before restocking, and destiny should be either purple and blue or red and blue, if we want to consider playing a Scientific Research.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

If an email was sent describing exactly what the super crisis does, I didn't receive it.
I have 3 cards. It is not a secret that all of them will either be green or purple. They don't tally up to a heck of a lot, but I can certainly help.
OTOH, if I play all of my cards (and with 3 cards, I should only play 1 card or all of them because of my weakness), it means I've got no interrupts for certain things later, but I also like not being nuked right now.

Team Human:
I want to do some calculating to figure out what cards the toasters might have and what we will potentially need to overcome them (as they play last into this check). I suggest not sending COs (sorry GM!) or posting contributions to the check until we see what destiny has to offer and I can give a number for that.

No worries, I understand. I am waiting for Chief to pipe in if he wants to play a SR interrupt. Then I will unleash the hounds of destiny.

Question: With Apollo's end of round summary, it says Boomer has 2 cards.
Is that the piloting and politics cards she drew at the start of her turn, or does she have 4 cards now (she shouldn't), or did she have 1 card at the end of Apollo's turn or therefore should she now have 3 cards?
As far as guessing what the Cylons might play into this check, it'd be good to know.

(she shouldn't)
Do you mean by this that she needs to be at 3 or below? Because that's only when you reveal. I believe that as a revealed cylon you can still eventually accumulate up to 10 cards.

or does she have 4 cards now (she shouldn't)She had 2 at the end of Apollo's turn. She drew 2 more. That gives a total of 4. As Helo said, when you go Cylon, you toss cards to get to 3, but you aren't limited to 3, as far as I know.

Whoops, you're right. So sorry! We've been playing it wrong IRL. Anyway, knowing how many cards Boomer has is good (4).
Having just re-read the rules, I note with some relief however that Cylons can only play 1 card into a skill check though. That limits how much damage they can do (though 2 Cylons each with a 4 or 5 point card can still easily screw us over). And in this case I note both Boomer and Apollo have a lot of Yellow and Red. We may possibly need as much as 23-25 points to achieve this.
Just for the record, rules on page 20, for those you following along with DQ the Dunderhead:
Revealed Cylon players only draw two Skill Cards on their turns. A revealed Cylon player may – at his option – play one (and only one) Skill Card into each skill check that is resolved.
Revealed Cylon players may not use actions or abilities listed on Skill Cards. They must continue to obey the hand limit rule, and discard down to 10 Skill Cards at the end of each player’s turn.
