New card type: Events

By IG88E, in X-Wing

Hello to all players!

As kind of superior mechanic, I was thinking of a new card system: Events

For example, only 1 or 2 events allowed per squad list

Here some examples (maybe not the best but just to clarify the principle ;) ) :

I would love to see a new card type to make the game even more strategic, but without influencing the game too much. Just for small incidents.

Any thoughts about this, or ideas?

Those all seems:

A) fun ideas for cards

B) they could all fit into a different slot such as title mod or ept

This seems cool. It gives the player a little more direct power over any ship they want to. Makes you feel more powerful.

These would be great if running "Missions" or "Scenarios" - keep them face down ready to spring on an opponent. If FFG were to adopt the concept they could release a "ship and missions" booster - no pilot cards, but a re-painted ship (probably include the dial) with the mission setup sheet, cards and any scenario-specific tokens. Could add an "Imperial Assault" layer to the game.

So, instead of placing them on a specific ship, each player would just bring 1 event card that effects their entire list? That could work. I think two per player would be WAY too many things to follow and crazy shenanigans getting out of control.

Yes you are right, the events should not be too comlicated to follow and remember. Especially for the opponent

I like all the ones you've shown. I feel like this is the power level you'd want to keep it at. A great thing to keep making those init bids interesting too. "I really want a 98pt bid, but cocky could really save my Ace".

I'm all for them and "trap/ambush" cards that you can reveal at set up to alter intial board state. "Did he not use an ambush card or does he have an event to reveal? Call the whole lot of them "tactics upgrades" and allow up to 2 per player. I can dig it.

Greenhorn would be the best Soontir save ever!!!
