literally this game is about convenient opportunities. If CB didn't have that Quash I would have gone for a win with you right now. The main strategy in this game is to keep your options open so that you can have as many chances to win as possible.

I'm pretty sure the reactor still can't play their super flare yet but if it turns out they can and they win the game boy will my face be red.

I mean, we can always ask for clarification on the "flares in hand" definition...

Cards set aside are not in hand, they are on the table.
Reactor plays his Super Flare!
....but the Laser queued a Cosmic Zap, which as per the faq can Prevent a super flare, and goes back to the owner's hand.
Ships go to the warp, Reactor gains their 4th colony. Yin-yang becomes the Yin-yang, and decides to use their Wild Flare. You may select a player who will now lose two ships! Who shall it be? And selected player, which two ships are lost?

Reactor, I suppose.
Doesn't make a huge difference either way, as I'm pretty sure the next turn will be the last.
...shouldn't I get compensation?

You'll get it but we have to resolve this first.
Reactor which two ships do you lose?

Good news. I have the Reactor flare.
e: Of course, I am up for a convoluted plan involving me giving it back to the Reactor if it ends in my victory. But I don't think anyone wants that because if I use wild Reactor, I win the game.

Regrouped!
Destiny draw: Most Foreign colonies, break ties to the left, therefore, the Voyager is the defense.
Voyager will get a new hand during the planning phase, or in the alliance phase if the Laser is an ally and uses their superflare on them.
But first....... time for the Cruise Ship to move.

Well, okay then. Hope you draw a negotiate, but just in case you don't, I'm gonna target E with ships from D D E B, and invite everybody.
Tourists, I have a feeling might not want to join but you can if you want anyways.

Don't worry, I trust in the HEART OF THE CARDS to see me through this duel. I invite the Tourist and Yin yang though recent events have left free ships at a premium so I understand if you can't make it.
