What the Heck is Music for Anyway? From Jon Crichton June 1997 OK, as you can probably tell from the title, this deck is based around winning the game by using musicians. The whole idea is to do one mission and play the Ressikan Flute and win the game. As easy as that. There are a few simple instructions on how to use this deck.
Starting Point : The Ressikan Flute should be seeded under the Avert Disaster mission. Also, the final card to go under this mission should be Q. By this, I mean place Q as your last dilemma under Avert Disaster. This is basically so that when you come to do the mission, you can discard all the dilemmas at this mission. As for the other dilemmas, the choice is yours. Finally, your outpost should also go under the Avert Disaster mission. In order to win the game, it is important to get people down on the table as soon as possible. Every single personnel listed has got the Music skill, except Lal, who if you read her skills box, states that she can take on any two skills present at the site (Music for example). To get these people down early, there are three Red Alert cards - two in the draw deck, one in the Q's Tent. This should help get the people down early in the game and lead you to an easy victory. Other cards included in this deck include particle fountain and drought tree which are both cards which give you points after completing a mission should you fail to get enough people down in time. Once the Ressikan Flute has been played you should have enough points to win the game. The only thing that can cancel the Ressikan Flute is the Devil, so therefore there are a few Amanda Rogers cards to counter this. The other useful aspect of this card is that it can cancel Q2 (which can cancel any Q-related dilemma) should someone attempt to stop you from using Q to get rid of the dilemmas. Well, that's about it, apart from to say that if the plan fails, there is always the USS Galaxy in the Q's Tent should you need to travel to another mission. Also Genetronic Replicators should also help to get passed planet dilemmas along with the Medical Kit. I realise that the of the cards listed above, there are a lot of rares, however if you cannot get all the personnel, you can always use 15 McKnights (although the Q dilemma tactic would no longer work). Anyway, Good Luck, and if Jenice Manheim happens to show her face at any point in the game, then find a way to kill her! |
