Esc cards are ok.

Calzone's ... :cry:



I hate missing option 9 of 23 ("press 9 on your handset to discuss billing details..") due to my swearing about the fact that i am having to listen to 23 automated options when i ring a call-center to discuss my phone bill!

Escalator cards?.. I do not hate!

Option 9! :(

Also, as a general tip for all inexperienced players reading, if I am holding Australia, please do not expend 10 of your men and 10 of mine, trying to break my bloody bonus! That is all.


I'll do it if I'm wiping you out and I want your cards. Otherwise, I'll just take someone else out and ramp up the card multiplier before taking you out. All in the same turn. :)

Like someone else said, it's all about taking out the right opponent, not the strongest, not the weakest, the one with the right cards.


You ain't taking me out. I know we aren't actually playing in a game, but you still won't beat me in this imaginary game, either. I've got 30 in Irkutsk. And the cards are only at 4.

In a no cards game you have the luck of the drop and the luck of the dice. If you have patience and the sense enough to not attack with one or two dice, you will win your share of games.

Flat rate layers on another major luck component. That's why they sometimes blow-out early when a player gets a lucky streak in both cards and dice.

Escalating adds a significant skill component along with an excellent explosive nature.

Escalating is the game for true risk lover, in my not-so-humble opinion.

We totally did have a game together when I posted that. :)

But I had a new recruit dry humping me the entire game keeping us both weak which is exactly what you don't want in Escalating since it just sets you up for people to take your cards.
