Hi all,

Yeah. I kind of like it too.

The idea was to trim the set down to about one third or thereabouts.
Then "translate" some of the cards to 'normal' political satire that 
everyone would appriciate.
Naturally, a handful of cards could not be translated, but I know quite a 
few people who would rather have 10 "nonsense" cards than 100.
This is, ofcourse, a purely theoretical excersize, with no bearing on 
anything.
But still - kind of interesting, IMO.

Well, I can't say that I did.
But your point does hold true for any OBD-INWO game I guess.

I would have liked the discard mechanic to be supported by more cards.
A 3-card discard from hand is extremely expensive, IMO.
And the only card to support discard decks is Saucer Landing Strip.
With a few more groups with discard improving abilities, the discard plots 
might become a lot more interesting.

Cheers
Martin
