Gah!  For the first game, I had the perfect set of cards.  I don&#8217;t think I have have seen that happen before.  My homeworld was Epison Eridani.  I came across the Star Nomad Lair immediately giving me +1 for selling blue.  The Spice World and Export Duties increased selling blue to +4.  The Secluded World and Gem World allowed me to ship blue for victory points.  With my income, I was able to play Galactic Federation, Galactic Survey: Seti and New Economy.  This more than gave me the win.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe next game was the complete opposite for me!  I started with New Sparta.  This is quite a simple strategy.  Keep growing you military strength and then lay down the two 6-value military bonus cards.  However, I never saw any military strength cards.  All I did was explore +5 and I could not find a one.  Jon (who was on my left) apparently drew them all.  And played them.  Sigh.  There was not much that I could do to save the game but I did tie for last place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caylus Magna Carta We started out light with a game of Caylus Magna Carta.
