More info on our second Champion designed card. This one by Jonathan Reinig....Governor Price.

Darn that is a good officer. The rebels are now very jealous, can't we have a spoiler? Pretty please with sugar on top?
Hmm... Definately... an interesting... card, but it seems like it'll be tricky to use since you're telegraphing the stall.

Pricey, but that is some sweet love for bigger ships.
Thank you FFG for remembering that big ships need love too.
Edited by GrandAdmiralCrunchQuoteNow that we've already seen what Josiah Burkhardsmeier had to say about the privilege of introducing Grand Admiral Thrawn to the game, we turn our attention to Jonathan Reinig and the card that he hopes will shake up the metagame and bring back the big Imperial ships—the really big ships…
Man, Imperials seem to already run nothing but really big ships...

And also this. Three imperial previews in a row! Rabble rabble rabble!

Does seem like a neat card, though. How hard are you willing to swerve away from your ideal movement to stay out of range on that pre-selected turn?
And how many players are going to be scrounging around for the round tokens they haven't used in ages?
So I really like this card. It gives the Imps difficult choices (Which round, whether to use a valuable slot)
What else do they have up their sleeves?
Ready for Wave Heaven to arrive!
Not sure if its worth it at that price point with the telegraph.
But, certainly worthy of more testing.
Thats a really awesome card. Glad it’s a one time use and also a bit tricky but still should work more than it fails.
Did anyone else notice the render of the star destroyer had the card on backwards? I did a double take and now it's bothering me.
Can someone explain to me why this card is good?
Couldn't you simply do the same thing by activating your large or medium ship last by choice for free?

Not if your opponent has more activations than you.

What if you are first player with 2 ISDs and your opponent had 6 ships?
Governor Pryce lets that ISD go after all 6 of your enemies.

When out deployed, it give you a one time last activation. Especially useful if you are out deployed, and 1st player.

Its a big ship counter to swarms so would be useful on a 2 or 3 ship activation list

Wait. There’s another faction? ?
After deployments, so very easy to look at your opponent and get an idea. Not exactly challenging to use. If it wasn’t for AvengerBT, I would really like this card.
Doubles down on AvengerBT. You can now First-last somebody much more easily. One counter-strategy to AvengerBT (high activations) bites the dust

Without the telegraph, a Pryce BT Avenger breaks the game.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh!
Pryce is fantastic for that price then, wow!

Keep in mind, though, you're giving up a very competitive slot. That means no Minister Tua for one. The timing can also be tricky if your opponent can adapt quickly enough.

Not that competitive on AvengerBT. As far as I’ve seen Tua is the only crew most people use on AvengerBT.

For sure, but its 7 points and an officer shot AND a telegraph.
I'm going to test it, but I'm not overly thrilled.
Yet.
Its nice to have options at least, and this is a new option that explores some good ground.
Just not sure its going to fix enough of the problem.

Yeah, occasionally you see not triangles. That's the other faction.

"Lets" is debatable.
I like the "must" in there.
@JJs Juggernaut You have a strong contender for best card designer, this is good.

“Lets” as in “allows in circumvention of normal rules”
So glad that demolisher can’t use it also. Great design and well thought out in my opinion.
