'The only Truth you know is what you get over the Tube. Right now there is an entire Generation that never knew anything that hasn't come out of the Tube. This Tube is the Gospel, the ultimate Revelation. This Tube can make or break Presidents, Popes and prime Ministers. This Tube is the most awesome goddamn Force in the whole godless World.'

Howard Beale, from the Network (1976)

My attempt to score 7AP in one round. You need 12 ¢redits, installed Jackson Howard and seven specific cards in hand to do that.

  • play Biotic Labor, 8¢, 4@
  • play Biotic Labor, 4¢, 5@
  • install Project Beale, 4¢, 4@
  • play Power Grid Overload trashing entire deck, 3¢, 3@
  • trash Jackson Howard bringing Interns and Shipment from SanSan
  • play Accelerated Diagnostics, bring back Jackson Howard and put 4 advancement tokens on Project Beale, 2¢ 2@
  • trash Jackson Howard bringing Interns and Shipment from SanSan
  • play second Accelerated Diagnostics, bring back Jackson Howard and put 4 advancement tokens on Project Beale, 1¢, 1@
  • trash Jackson Howard and triple Shipment from SanSan
  • play third Accelerated Diagnostics and put 6 advancement tokens on Project Beale
  • score Project Beale with 14 advancement tokens for 7AP

As you can see, the deck needs one less Power Grid Overload and one more Accelerated Diagnostics, but I can't edit the list anymore. I didn't test viability of this deck yet, but I'm going to and I will value your criticism and suggestions highly.

You can't 'trash' Jackson Howard. He's removed from the game. For this to work, you need all three Jackson Howards installed....

You only need one installed. Provided you didn't remove the other two from game, you can install them with Interns.

There is a problem, the card you want to use is Power Shutdown and it's 2 influence.

Damn, you're right! It would still be possible with the other identity and a Research Station, but I have to admit it's a pipe dream.
