I'm sorry you're finding Coasters so tough.
If you do try it again, take the Warning System - that way you can
escape. And try to get into the teleport pad quickly yourself and
destroy his ships - teleport directly onto his control points,
eventually destroying his ability to teleport onto you.
Or, as soon as he does land on you, destroy his ship in combat.
Give him something else to do w/ his control points than just teleport
- make him rebuild his fleet.
He'll only ever be able to teleport 5 ships onto you - he's got to keep
2 back home on control points. So you will always have at least 2
ships that he *can't* just teleport onto to destroy - remember,
that each player only gets 7 coins tops. You can't ever had more
than 7 ships during a game.
As a side note, I've always got a Coaster on my desk under my water or soda....

2 ships on HIS pad he teleports from.. right. Oh, so I guess it does
take more than 7 turns... I forgot about thatpart. I
guess.....But every 2-3 turns he was killing me.. and we were just
going from pad to pad the first couple times you played. like you
mentioned, so we changed it and All gavin does is land on my ships to
kill them. Connor must be really bad at RPS- he always loses. So gavin
would attack Connor when he needed to build anew ship. I am thinking
Cosmic Costers just isnt for us right now. I'd love to be able to play
it andhave it work, but it doesn't.... maybe we need to give it a
break. And I lost a couple ships to Connor. I am just bad at this game.
I will have to go play Set or Boggle to feel better.... and set my
drink on my Cosmic Coaster....
He is like that in Eco Fluxx too. All he wants to do is lay
Play All and Hand Limit 0, so no one has anything. I think maybe he is
just mean.....LOL.
Thanks-

You can only teleport from the teleport pad in the center of the
coaster - and ONLY if you've got at least 2 ships on the control
points. (you've got to control at least 2 AND a majority of the
control points - in other words, if you have a ship on 2 control points
on the Callisto coaster and your opponent has a ship on 2 control
points on the Callisto coaster, then neither of you can teleport. No
one has full and total control.)
You can't just teleport whenever you feel like it from any
point on the coaster. You've got to go from the center teleport
pad. Once you teleport out of the center, you've got to spend at
least a turn (and often more) getting a piece into the center
again. Then, (if you've still got control - see above) you can
teleport.
I hope this helps!!

According to the rules, when you teleport and land on another
ship- the ship landed on is automatically destroyed... right (unless
you have a special power ...)
Is there a limit or something? when we play, my son lands on one
of my ships each turn and after 7 turns I have NO ships.... He lands on
such a way I can't even build things in factories while I still have
ships.
No fun....
