Just to stretch my autism and BTFO the anons hatings on my FAVOURITE game race for the kino, here is a review of every "useless" scoring development in the base game and whether their effects matter

>Alien Tech Institute
you meld this when you have alien worlds you want to play at a 10 card hand or something

>Free Trade Association
Both of these effects are good if you have 3 novelty worlds.

>G Fed
Literally makes bgg'ers who have only played the base game shit their pants.

>G Imperium
Kind of niche effect in base game but becomes more important when played in expansion arcs

>G Renaissance
This card sucks arse for scoring and effect

>G Survey
Literally the only true "scoring only" card in this list. WE WINGSPAN

>Merchant Guild
literally draws you 2 cards a round

>mining league
same as free trade but arguably slightly better

>new econ
this card is intentionally nerfed i think as it's effect would be busted at 2 cards

>new g order
2 military is worth about 2 cards but similar to new econ it's scoring is busted

>pan g league
i always find this card too niche but it can draw you 2+ cards so

>trade league
absolutely busted

wait whaaat theres only like 2 scoring only 6 devs whaaat!!!!
