TI4 Strategy Cards: 7 and 8


 7) Technology

When should you get this card? Never

Why should you get this card? You don't need to. Someone will ALWAYS grab it every round. Sure they get on tech for free and another one at a higher cost but you can always take advantage of the secondary ability and be fine. This is the most overrated card in the lot. People are OBSESSED with owning a War Sun in the game, they'll do everything in their power to build it. Though it waste precious time and victory points along the way. Honestly, if it wasn't for the War Sun, I'd probably lose every single game of TI. A War Sun is great to have but to me, it looks like the BIGGEST red herring the game has to offer. And every player falls for it....every time. 

8) Imperial

When should you get it? When you control Mecatol Rex

Why should you get it? To score VP's and gain secret objectives. Other than 6, this is the best card to have but only if you control Rex. I squat on the planet for as long as I can before getting the heck out of dodge and never worrying about it again. But for those few sweet turns I'm earning 2 VP's a round. It's truly what gives me the edge in beating out everyone else in the game time and time again. Great card!

Have a good weekend folks!
