Yeah, that's a big part of it. But now that I've calmed down a little bit I no longer feel the desire to rage quit this game. So, back /in.

Stupid cayvie stole my stupid cards in CEIII and I'm really upset about it. I don't understand this game, I've never played IRL and it's too much of a pain to have to keep referring to that Cosmodex everytime I draw a card or anyone plays a card, I've screwed up the rules like a million times and I don't think I've taken a single colony yet.

TL;DR I'm pretty sure this game is not for me.

:(

I really think it matches you though... But I can fully understand frustrating powers that just dominate. There is SO much wonderful variety, but it does cause some things to be unbalanced sometimes.

Don't get frustrated. Cosmic is supposed to be played as a beer and peanuts game. Very non-serious. Just enjoy the craziness of it, win or lose. I never used my power even a single time last game, because everybody ganged up against me, but I still had fun! Shrug it off and enjoy the "I can't believe that just happened!". It's supposed to be somewhat silly.

You should give it a second chance. It's certainly more fast-paced and enjoyable irl, but it converts surprisingly well. If Axxle will let me, I'll /in on this game as well, and play along with you, helping out where I can. I'll play a very Universe friendly role, trying to help everyone to win together. But you should definitely rejoin.

I shouldn't have let him pick Zombie.  It's down there on the power level scale.

Eh? Really? I kinda disagree, although that's probably because I play almost exclusively 2-power games, where zombie is often a fantastic addition to another power.

I think it can be pretty strong, though probably not top-tier.

Even worse: in FFG Zombie can't even collect compensation, so they actually lose a major part of hand management that all other aliens get.

Anyway, if there's room, I'll happily /in on this one as well, as the friendly neighborhood helper. If it's full, or others want in, I'll gladly step back.

Never played before CE-II, but I did a lot of Cosmodex consulting while that game was going on!
