This! So much this!

You are responsible for communicating with your opponent. They shouldn't have to ask you for basic, public information that you are supposed to make easy for them to find out. If your game store has limited space, use a corner of the frickin' mat like you're a filthy 40K player.

Better communication leads to better games and a happier community. Don't be the problem.

It is easy for them to find out. If they ask or express confusion, I give them my cards before the game starts. I also tell them my list at the start of the game. I just keep it in the sleeve most of the time as

- 90%+ of people know what my **** does

- it saves on packing/unpacking time.

This isn't ******* poker.

Related to the cards true.

But from another point of view when the dials matter it kinda sometimes maybe is sorta like poker.

Its why the best T-Shirt slogan ever exists: "I dont believe you"

Looking forward to Space Poker 2.0

Eh, not really in my opinion. It is still a game of complete information just like chess - the board state in poker is actually not 100% known. You will always know if you are winning in X-Wing.

True. Its just that one specific moment when the dials are revealed. Very loose analogy.

I will say that the moment when you both set your dials and are about to start flipping is exhilarating.

Take a normal sized 9 cards sleeve and cut it into three rows. You now have sleeves for 3 pilots with up to 6 upgrades each. Easy install, easy cleanup, and your cards don't get messed up!

Got to the point where we're quoting Spongebob just to boost our page count?

Heh, probably not the best word choice, I dont have a good way to describe how gone I was, my opponent had to snap me out of it.

Unpack your stuff! As safe as it is to assume optimum upgrades it's still wrong often enough that you're being a little gamey not putting them out. And I super hate having to ask my opponents midgame about cards because it basically cues them in on what I'm thinking about when I'm not thinking about motorcycles

What about CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES?

So for store champs, should I plan on playing defenders, but if I see stupid regen stuff, pull out wholesome squadron 2.0: (http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel Alliance&d=v4!s!142:135,-1,-1,-1,40,-1,-1:-1:16:;142:135,-1,-1,-1,40,-1,-1:-1:16:;142:135,-1,-1,-1,40,-1,237:-1:16:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

And failing that, ghost fenn. Or maybe triple wookiee. I care about arcs so much I brought 9.

The whole point of motorcycles is to stare death in the eye as long as possible without blinking. Card games would distract from that staring contest.
