Also remember to check the Errata and FAQ.  Only one executive orders per turn, so no chaining them.

<p>I just played my first game of BSG (solo using the official fully cooperative rules). I've got the german edition so my card names might be a bit off...</p>

<p>The green skill cards 1 and 2 say something like:</p>

<p><strong>Action:</strong> Choose 1 player. This player may move his character and do 1 action OR may keep his character where it is and do 2 actions</p>

<p>Now if it is my turn. Can I move to a location in my move phase, play that card in my action phase, choose myself and do the location's action 2 times? It seems a bit overpowered but I've not seen anything in the rules that forbid this use...</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2011-02-26)

I just played my first game of BSG (solo using the official fully cooperative rules). I've got the german edition so my card names might be a bit off...

The green skill cards 1 and 2 say something like:

**Action:** Choose 1 player. This player may move his character and do 1 action OR may keep his character where it is and do 2 actions

Now if it is my turn. Can I move to a location in my move phase, play that card in my action phase, choose myself and do the location's action 2 times? It seems a bit overpowered but I've not seen anything in the rules that forbid this use...
