Wesley's STCCG card of the day #66

Hi, folks,

probably the most unanimously viewed card we've ever seen:

DIPLOMACY MISSION

Mission, Fed, Planet, 30 Points, Span 3
Diplomacy + INTEGRITY > 30 + CUNNING > 30.
"Peliar Zel: Mediate dispute between civilizations on Peliar Zel's two moons"

A really mediocre card. Some of my reviewers barnded it an endgame card. I'd rather say it's a typical midgame mission. Not easy enough to be attempted with one or two personnel, but fair game for almost any crew involving four bridge crew cards. Obviously, the minimum crew is 4 cards (nobody has INTEGRITY of 10 or more), but with exactly four there are plenty of choices. Include Picard or Sarek and you can even substitute an Integrity 6 for your 4th card.

The point per card ratio is not too good (7.5), but with the flexibility of crew choice, the chance to seed an artifact and the fact that a Klingon or Romulan opponent cannot easily snatch this one away, this mission cannot be described other than "balanced." If more cards would be like this, the game would be really fair (but really boring, too).

Favorite combo(s):

(If Geordi were here we'd have had this repaired for long)
