This is TOTALLY setup! Why are there troops on the Mecatol Rex already? Why aren't there any counters on the Score Marker? Those card piles are way to big! C'mon! You are trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
tagger418 (#91491), I took the image right at the end and some of the players were starting to remove their counters already. I played the Haccan and did have all those trade goods. I think I won too. The 4 player game is quite long though because all the strategy cards get used.
I've played a lot of TI3 and there are several other things a bit unusual about the photograph. For example, every player has exceeded their allowable ship limits. As well, no player has the correct planet cards in their possession. Again, the game, if it is one, is at the end of turn four max. A four player game at the end of turn four...I don't think we're taking marathon status yet.
