Oh, shiny new cards, I hate to part with you so soon, but...

President Zarek! Get the quorum brainstorming on how we can improve our food supplies. And I don't mean arguing and whining, I want results!

Move: Nowhere. I like the chemistry supplies in the lab. My still's starting to work quite nicely.

Action: Play a G1 to XO Zarek.

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

Let the record show that the Admiral is getting high on his own supply.

I'm assuming Zarek will first draw a Quorum card and then play one. Perhaps even twice.

I don't know what cards you have, but gaining food is obviously first priority.

If you don't have two Food Rationing cards, you might consider using one of the quorum cards that allows you to draw more cards (since we probably won't be activating either Admiral's Quarters or Administration, they will have no other effect).

Esteemed Quorum members, I know times seem bleak but I assure you we are close to finding a new home. Still, just to be safe, I believe we must implement a program of food rationing. What say ye?

I draw a quorum card.

My plan is to play two food rationing cards but even with SP they're a 50/50 shot at +1 food. Is it possible there's a quorum card still in the deck that will be better for us?

Not that I can think of offhand. There are ones to increase morale, of course. There's that one that destroys ships/centurions, but there's nothing on the board now.

There's also my OPG. If I play two ration cards to no avail, should I go find a copy of To Serve Man ?

Can you use that at any time? If so, I might wait until we hit one (or are about to).

Copy that. I'll shove the Long Pig Dry Rub to back the back of the spice cabinet.

D is playing a war game on his PS3 and I can hear one of the other players getting chewed out by his mother for not cleaning the bathroom.
