Card Extra

Storage Compartment Door from Kathy McCracken (08/11/2000)

See picture of Storage Compartment Door.

 

Tribbles pouring out every nook and cranny of every ship and facility, and overrunning every planet in every system from here to the next quadrant... here's the card that makes it all possible. You've got to have the Storage Compartment Door to activate your Tribble side deck, but what a bargain it is! For a single seed card, you pick up the power to randomly "stop" your opponent's personnel (1 Tribble), deprive those personnel of their skills (10 and 1,000), gum up their mission attempts (100), stop their probing (10,000), and even stop their free reporting (100,000) - and much, much more! You don't have to dedicate more than this single seed slot to make it all happen.

Of course, if you choose, you can devote some space in your draw deck to your Tribble strategy by stocking additional Storage Compartment Doors there. This can make your side deck even more ruthless. A Storage Compartment Door played from hand can download any Trouble or Tribble card from your side deck. It's limited to once each turn, but is in addition to the 3 cards you normally get to draw and play from the side deck. You could run four separate groups of Tribbles instead of three, or focus your attention on one group to breed it even more quickly.

To top it all off, the Storage Compartment Door can also be used to keep your Tribble side deck clear of the annoying Revolving Door (or Door-Net) by playing to nullify any card closing your side deck. Your opponent's not using those cards? No problem, just play the doorway to download more Tribbles and Troubles. Efficiency itself!

Combo:

  • Storage Compartment Door x2 + a well-built Tribble side deck: Build your side deck to include extra copies of every other Tribble denomination to increase your chances of drawing them. Then with two Storage Compartment Doors in hand, you've got a great setup. Play 10 Tribbles using the side deck, then play a Storage Compartment Door to download a 100 Tribbles card. Next turn, play 1,000 using the side deck and download 10,000 with another Door from hand. By turn three, you're already set up for 100,000 Tribbles!
