SkateboaPD (4-1 @ UK Nats)

mcg 1077

Earlier in the year I had a theory that Haas-Bioroid: Precision Design was bad for the game because it didn't need any thought or practice to win. It seems to pretty much play itself. A number of conversations later, most memorably with @kikai, I realised I was wrong. PD is actually good for the game because you don't need to give it a lot of thought or practice and you can still turn up and have an okay time. But unless you can play it with @Rotom-like precision, it's unlikely to make the top tables.

There's probably a ton of reasons for this, but in the interests of not giving it a lot of thought or practice, I decided it was because the good players know how to play against normal PD and/or Your Digital Life PD. So what I needed to do was find a different way to play it.

Skateboard PD (patent pending) is all about going fast and having fun. Fun like:

Corporate Cycle: Play Corporate Hospitality to get two credits, two cards, and return the other copy of CH to hand. Then next turn...

Corporate Gambit: Get two credits, two cards and get a good installable from Archives (Manegarm Skunkworks, Anoetic Void or Rashida Jaheem). Then shuffle your hand, waggle your eyebrows and install a card. Is it what you just picked up or are you sneaking out an agenda?

Suddenly Red: Play Sudden Commandment into Red Level Clearance to draw two cards for no credits and no clicks.

Suddenly Greasy: Play SC and then Greasing the Palm to install something you've just drawn while making money.

Suddenly Seamless: Play SC then Seamless Launch to place two advancement counters and, if at Threat 3, still have three clicks left to score out that Ikawah Project

Suddenly Subliminal: Play SC into Subliminal Messaging to gain some number of clicks that so far nobody has been able to calculate. No, Subliminal isn't in this list, but it should be.

That's enough fun for now. Get out there and grind.

P.S. You can swap Crisium Grid for Spin Doctor if you want but it won't make you happy.

What I love about this platform is how smoothly everything works. Being in the United Kingdom, it’s great to find a site that caters to users here with such precision. The graphics are sharp, and the games load quickly, which is always a plus. If you’re in the mood for some quality entertainment, I’d definitely say give Jaak Casino a shot. It’s been a fantastic experience for me so far.
