A Better Machine, the TRE card that came up check before last and added two more TRE to the Destiny Deck. It's one of the more awful TRE cards because it can set up very nasty death spirals if it adds another copy of itself in, where the Destiny Deck could wind up 100% TRE. This is less likely to happen with the current set of Treachery we're using, but still.

BTW, since everyone has Treachery, now is a good time to talk about it. Here's the list of TRE from the OP:

quote:

Treachery (Brown)
(0) Bait: Skill Check: Place 1 Civilian Ship in DELTA. When a player chooses to discard this card, he draws 1 Mutiny Card. (x6)
(0)*Broadcast Location: Skill Check: Place 1 Heavy Raider in ALPHA. When a player chooses to discard this card, he draws 1 Mutiny Card. (x3)
(0) Dradis Contact: Skill Check: Place 2 Raiders in ALPHA. When a player chooses to discard this card, he draws 1 Mutiny Card. (x6)
(0)*Sabotage: Skill Check: If this skill check fails by 5 or more, damage Galactica. When a player chooses to discard this card, he draws 1 Mutiny Card. (x3)
(3) A Better Machine: Skill Check: The current player shuffles 2 Treachery Cards into the Destiny Deck. (x4)
(3)*By Your Command: Skill Check: Activate all Raiders and Heavy Raiders in ALPHA. Do not advance Centurions. You must resolve this skill check ability last. (x2)
(3)*God's Plan: Skill Check: Discard the lowest positive strength Skill Card from this check (if possible). (x2)
(3) Personal Vices: Skill Check: Each human player draws 1 Treachery Card. If the current player is a human player, he also draws 1 Mutiny Card. (x4)
(4)*Special Destiny: Skill Check: The current player must choose a human player to discard 2 Skill Cards and draw 2 Treachery Cards. (x2)
(4) Violent Outbursts: Skill Check: The current player is sent to Sickbay. (x3)
(5) Exploit Weakness: Skill Check: The current player must choose a human player to draw 1 Mutiny Card. (x3)
(5)*Human Weakness: Skill Check: If there is a human player in the Brig, reduce the highest resource by 1. (x1)

With very few exceptions, Treachery is ALWAYS negative in a check. Nobody in this game currently draws Treachery, but every time the Destiny Deck is rebuilt 2 Treachery are included in it, along with 2 of each other skill type. Revealed Cylons can also draw Treachery, so it starts showing up more often later in the game.

All Treachery cards also do something bad when they show up in Skill Checks, so you typically want to get rid of them in other ways. Unfortunately, you can't discard the 0-value ones without drawing a Mutiny Card! So there's a balance to be struck around figuring out when it's safe to throw them into a check based on board state, versus sitting on them if it's not a good time to play them in.

Adama coordinates the idiot civilians into some semblance of a defensive formation!

DEFCON decreases by 1 to 10.



Sam catches wind of a violent mutiny brewing throughout the fleet - will he try to coordinate suppressing measures, or take more drastic action? The consequences could be dire...

Well, since you're allowed to peek before deciding to move them, sometimes if a player moves them before asking, the moderator assumes the player doesn't care.

This is not a philosophy I even remotely subscribe to! But fair enough for wanting to confirm.

For the new players - starting in the Sickbay is bad, as it means you only get to draw 1 card from your usual colors instead of your full draw.

Because XOing the person right after you is insanely dangerous, as giving a Cylon three consecutive actions SUCKS.
