me-dragon hatchling
son-zedan time skip
dave brians corp
shawn-skorpead now!
I got off to a bad start and never went any where first
one out,i think the deck might suck
so and shawn got off to medium start and both decks
hummed along
dave got off to a HUGE start w/ a turn 4 Acclerated
timeline and drawing 18 cards!
he dominated the game for the first 2/3
w/shawn just barelly hanging on
i got eliminated quickly after i attacked son w my
pathetic dragons
dave switches targets to son and shawn makes big come
back
dave constantly switches targets between son and shawn
shawn gets a big turn and lills dave after dave runs out
of deck
exciting battle between son and shawn w/ son killing him
for the win by playing4 time skips w/a instant reaction

Aramax,
Would you consider writing down your deck(s) for a newbie
like me to try out.
Glad you're enjoying the game again, it's why I still have
really old CCG's and just can't get rid of them.

Best game yet last night!
me- zedzn retribution fleet
son-pot firepower
shawn-mechad-tranoan
dave scorpead big E
chris-his zedan

slow start by all but scorp,he got going right away,but
due to squandering his advantage he was out first
Mechad go after pot
pot clings to life w/8-15 time phasers being shot at him
I go after shawn a little then switch targets to chris'
zedan
Galactic cataclysem goes very poorly for chris
Dave is out after doing very little w medium but very
powerful fleet
zedan vrs zedan w/ mechad vrs pot
leaving me w 2 HQ points
I make huge come back playing s10 &9& 2xs8
2 players w/ no ships and mechad limping along w /1
I cant capitalize on my position due to defence cards
lots of every body firing at everybody witch leaves
mechad dead
zrdan vrs zedan,pot builds up
at one point I fail to kill other zedan when he was at 3
HQ,this costs me the game
chris pulls ships from reseve fleet and eventually I kill
him
leaving son bobby and I last one standing
son says to me ,do I really have a chance?,I look at my 9
card w/no ships or defence and say 'Yes"
then he pulls catastrophic repitition wiping out all but
one of my ships
It was over w/ Pot victorius

-If you search on this site (and over at the better-maintained forum bullington.us/galacticempires) in the Deck Strategy archives (select 'All' from drop-down and not just form last year) you'll find a helluva lot of decks and discussion for your reading enjoyment.

Over at bullington, a few of us actually constructed newbie-friendly decks for game teaching and outreach, it's all there.

Happy hunting.

Ok so my Tuesday game is superheros for a while but the
early Friday game is going strong.My son is playing(mostly
w/out me)w/his 2 friends.I need a little break after
several GE intensive months.
He had me make a patrol ship deck so I made a POT one and
boy is it NASTY,w/ each patrol ship doing 3-7 shield
penitrators!
I had just went through all my decks making the terrain in
all of them legal and updating our resticted list.Out of
the 70ish decks I have 2 had only 7 letters and one
actually only had 6!That needed to be fixed
