New PBW game: Survivor: space edition

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I think you might need a rule about not abandoning most of your planets and then recolonizing.

[Suicide Junkie]

I don't see that as being a problem.

It will certainly guarantee that you are not first place, but it will make it highly likely for you to be killed by one of the medium sized empires.

Not if you just do that on the decade turns.

[Suicide Junkie]

But it is still not a problem.

You have pointed out a fairly extreme extension of an obvious tactic, which is to lie low and artificially deflate your score when it is time for the "vote".

But that's all part of the fun.
Will you go too far, and be unable to recover fast enough to fend off the attack by your neighbour? Is that neighbour planning to reduce his score with a suicide mission against your homeworld, crippling you and ensuring your defeat in the next year of game time?

You are all competing against each other...
And you don't have to out-run the bear. Just outrun the guy next to you

That is true...Small universe.

Good luck with the game.
