Midseason Grail-Placements

dwjmeijer 51

When we had the full Grail suite, I decided to give it a go, and damn, it is good.

Midseason Psychographics has always been one of my favorite plays and I will continue to try and make it work.

I forego Astroscript for Market Research, to quicken the win, in exchange for less versatility. (If the runner gets to matchpoint before you find a Midseason or enough credits, you're basically screwed.)

Game plan:
1. Get a Midseason in your HQ.
2. Load up on cash.
3. Feed the runner an agenda, preferably an NAPD through a Red Herring.
4. Midseason Replacements for 7~10 tags.
5. Lock down R&D as best as you can.
6. Score a combination of Market Research, 4-point Beales, 7 point Beales and whatever other agendas you get your hands on.

I've had decent success with it, especially when keeping the Grail Ice a surprise until you can trash a program with a barrier.

Enjoy!
