Re: [Rabbits] Some questions about Cosmic Coasters

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....

He always goes from his teleport pad .. he only need to have 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....
