What is going to be great is that, when Redemption online happens, you can choose to see your opponent's cards in whichever arrangement you like.

And it'll be looking straight down, with no table angle to deal with.

Redemption needs big tables. 'Nuff said. Byron, you never saw me in action? (crazy hat guy). I'm a super stickler about card location.

I might try some of these on for size, they at least make sense.

I may have to battle you for title of "crazy hat guy"

(Yay for crazy hats! Do you have many crazy hats? Or just one really epic one?)

If the illustration above says anything about CA style, I don't see how one requires a table more or less "deep" than the other. Both seem to require you be able to stack your cards three-plus deep (how does that image make it more clear that a Hero has been pushed out into battle? It seems prone to the same sloppy execution as the rulebook layout) and puts your Arts, Forts and set-asides wherever you can make space for them.

People also neglect the power of the "tap". My unoccupied Sites are off to one side and turned sideways so it is immediately clear that they are a). not a Lost Soul and b). not occupied. My Redeemed Souls are in a fanned stack and turned sideways so that can also be seen at a glance. Even my removed cards, rather than try and find some weird place to put them, I put them under my discards, face-down and turned sideways for a clear distinction.

In addition, I always mark my converted characters with colored stones anyway, because knowing their alignment is one thing but keeping track of their brigade is difficult no matter where you stick your Heroes. So my opponents should be able to tell the converted state of any of my characters at a glance.

Yay for characters and Tap!

Btw: Best way to defeat all layouts. Ask about cards you are unsure of.

DOES THIS PICTURE BOTHER YOU!?!? LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT THE CARDS.

I played a kid that "organized" his cards like that. He needed MEDICATED! And by the end of the game, so did I

How would we decide which format to use? vote on it?

Has it been decided that we need an official arrangement?

that's what this thread was supposed to be about in the first place...

I'd vote for it. It solve lots of confusion.

SomeKittens · « **Reply #58 on:** August 21, 2010, 04:43:57 PM »

But if we don't follow the rule, who's gonna know, and what are they gonna do about it!?

Which is why 1960 is one of the best 2-player board games around.

because soon it will become familiar, rather than playing against mountains of different styles that are confusing to you.

The vote was significantly closer than I think you realize through the fog of history, and in a lot of ways was one of the single most significant elections of the 20th century.

In addition to which, up to the point of his resignation from office, he was the only man elected twice to the Vice Presidency and twice to the Presidency. The stigma of political scandal is that you will only be remembered for the way you left office, and you become a poster child for corruption in American politics. But in the long view of his life before and after his presidency as well as during, he was a significant political force over a period of four decades. After all, the other political metaphor to come from his presidency is that of Nixon going to China, an expression significant enough to find its way into a Star Trek movie.

Fortunately my history teacher was nice enough to ignore the big test and teach us about the accomplishments of the Presidents during the Vietnam war (other than the war).
Do they have a pre-debate "Remember to Shave" card?
