Card Extra

47th Rule of Acquisition from Kathy McCracken (11/1999)

See picture of 47th Rule of Acquisition.

 

For pure annoyance, this rule takes the prize. Send your Greed or Acquisition personnel, armed with the 47th Rule, to the location of your opponent's key personnel, poised to solve a mission on his next turn. If he is "better dressed" (has more skill dots) than your meddler, you get to put him back on top of his owner's draw deck. Unless he's using a mechanic such as Ore Processing to allow him to draw cards before his card play, he won't even be able to redraw the personnel till the end of his turn, then he has to replay him and get him back to his former location. If he's attempting missions out of his native quadrant, he faces a significant delay.

As a side effect, until you discard the Rule card for its main function, it nullifies all Palor Toffs. Keep your opponent from retrieving annoying cards like Kivas Fajo - Collector or Brain Drain, unless he's willing to expend his card play on Res-Q.

Combos:

  • 47th Rule of Acquisition + Dr. Farek: A Non-Aligned Greed mission specialist is the ideal user of the 47th Rule. He can work with any non-Borg affiliation, he can be downloaded during the seed phase with Assign Mission Specialists and practically everyone "wears a better suit."
  • 47th Rule of Acquisition + Oof!: Keep those Amandas, Kevins and Q2s in your opponent's discard pile long enough to Oof! them for a hefty point loss.
