This is not remotely funny anymore. (Not that it was even a little bit funny to begin with.)

This is going to be an incredibly painful discard, but I can't see us risking losing 2 food. Even if this is the last Food Shortage, there's still probably some other Water Shortages out there, right?

What else is left that could hit food?

Yes, there are still 2 unplayed water shortages left in the deck.

What else is left that could hit food?
Of the unplayed Crisis Cards (In alpha order):
  • If you fail "Legendary Discovery"
  • Fail of "Missing G4 Explosives"
  • Fail of "Prison Labor"
  • President Choice "Rescue Caprica Survivors"
  • Fail of "Resistance"
  • Admiral Choice on "Riots" x2

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

ugh, yeah #2 seems like the only choice to me. What do the rest of us humans think?

GM note. If option 2 is the final option, Mr. President, please post the cards you are tossing. Chief, once that is done, please post which cards you would like to toss.

Sadly, I agree.

well that's 3/4 of us in agreement. No point in delaying the inevitable.

BSG

I choose option 2 and discard everything, lemme dig up my cards and post official-like. Hey, at least the jump track advances.

This sucks. Discard G3, B3, B2.

Whee, there goes 15 points in cards between us.

I really, really dislike that so many of the Crisis cards that hit food seem to require you to choose between either losing food and a bunch or cards, or losing even more food.

I'm sure I'm wrong, but I don't think we've seen much that actually give you a chance to not lose any food beyond the Incoming Nukes super crisis.
