Title: How do you set up your cards?
Post by: Jack on May 28, 2011, 05:48:16 PM
I'm working on the new site, just wanted to get a quick poll as to how everyone sets out their cards when they play.

Here's the layout in the rulebook:
(http://overpower.ca/thumb.php?file=uploads/layout.jpg&size=800)

I'm sure nobody uses that.

For me, with the 3 front lines, I keep the reserve behind the middle hero. The Homebase is left of the reserve, the Battlesite is right of the reverse. Missions stay the same. The piles on the left would be Dead Pile, Power Pack and Draw Pile (from top to bottom). The Defeated Characters Pile is completely off the table for me, which is typically left of the Dead Pile.

I do something very similar to the rulebook layout.  I have the missions and deck piles on reversed sides though.  Also, I keep the reserve behind the middle hero, but I do keep my Battlesite in the frontline.

Looks like we layout the same as Jack, including having the defeated characters pile being off the table. One thing I have changed is that I no longer place my cards sideways. I copied the Overpower Online placing technique of setting them down vertically below the character.

I use the layout in the rulebook with 2 changes:
I put my Home Base to the right of my Reserve and I swap my Power Pack and Draw Pile

[Dead][Draw]    [Hero] [Hero] [Hero]     [BtSt]  [ComM]

[Dftd][PPck]              [Hero] [Base]               [RsvM]

                                                                 [DftM]

I use the rulebook layout except I keep my dead pile above the power pack,and put my defeated pile to the left of the power pack.

Like this but with the missions and deck reversed.

Jack, you should include the way you described your method as an option. I usually play the normal way but that actually sounds much better, the normal Battle Site Location location ( :P ) feels awkward to me.
