It’s a marginal thing to even debate but I think Space Hotels should be B-tier. -I think the space tag on it is really underrated. Sponsors and AC can get discounted by four cards in the base + preludes, Earth Office plus the three universal discounters. SH’s space tag doubles that, -it can also contribute to a Satellites play as well as Cartel. -the +4 makes it more viable in a late-game Banker fight
It's definitely close but in the end I didn't feel comfortable to put it in B tier with cards like Algae, Comet, Inventors Guild, etc. The quality of cards in B tier is just a bit too high for Space Hotels imo.
Great video! I like all of your videos and you Are really learning me a lot. We talk about your videos when I’m playing toghter with my friends. Greetings from Norway
Great to see the prelude cards going around... I think these cards are pretty self explanatory save for Psychrophiles, which is amazing but it takes a while to build up; however, I'll add that it combos well with the microbe granting cards. Turning an early microbe boost into literal steel for green tech may be a very worth investment.
Psychrophiles often only pay off after a few gens since so many plant tags can only be played in the mid to late game, but then it pays off massively! Love the card!
Nice rating, wouldn’t change a single one. Great that you are doing this with the expansions too! Looking forward to Venus, Colony, Turmoil and possibly Promo cards ratings as well One small disagreement on ”the best microbe tag”, as I would rate Viral Enhancers above Insects, but it’s a close one
Thanks a lot :) Viral Enhancers I feel is more consistent while Insects is more of a game changer. If you get an insane Insect early on, it absolutely changes the whole game dynamic. But either way, it's close between those two imo.
You could make an argument that SF memorial is C-/D+ tier, but I understand that this would complicate things. Personally, I'm not sad when I draw it, especially towards the late game, and I would rather draw SF memorial than Rover Construction, or House Printing, and it stings just a little that it shares the same space as House Printing :D But it really depends on how much you value the card draw, which you pointed out.
It's a much more focussed card than House Printing or Rover Construction. Better than those as just a steel dump for points and a card in the late game. Those others are a mix of development and a point which is akward, but imo the difference is not large enough to push SF into C tier.

I agree

Yay the series continues! 😊
For sure! Venus Next will follow shortly :)
Love it.
Awesome!

In your opinion, what is the best Prelude 2 corp? Ecotec, Paladin Shoppin, Nirgal Enterprises, Kuiper Cooperative, Sagita, Tycho Magnetics or Spire?
It's hard to say, but I think it's Palladin Shipping. Tycho Magnetics is probably a close second and I also really like Sagitta the more I play it.
