I LOVE The Manhattan Project. But, I have a problem with how the card drop. Inspired by Suburbia (board game, not the movie), I have a new way to set up the cards.
Below I have pictures for each of the the card types. Each type is set up in four rows. The top row is the standard start cards. Below that I have the cards for set “A”, then set “B”, and finally set “C”. At the start of the game, you shuffle the separate sets independently. Then you stack the B card set on the C card set without shuffling. Then you put the A set on top on the pile. You then set up the game as normal. Look at the cards below and give me your thoughts.
*NOTE*-I just saw I lost a card for the universities-The One Engineer to four general work card goes in the “C” set for the universities.

Staging the deck makes for a more consistant game play but less re-playable. The designer was very against this for that reason.
