It's the resurgence of Resurgence!
I'm making a new thread for my fan expansion, mainly because no one's posted in the old thread for a long time.
Flavor themes: An ancient city is still inhabited by the race of people who built it. They have maintained or rebuilt some of the ancient buildings. Others lie in ruins, but power still lives even in the ruins. They live in a mostly-isolated area, and after a struggle to survive the centuries, are only now expanding their kingdom. (The theme is inspired by a novel I wrote but isn't published yet. The ancient city in my story is loosely inspired by the Mayan cities. A few of the photos used were taken by my dad when my parents went to see the Mayan cities. And I generally use my dad's photos for the cart art whenever I can.)
Mechanic themes: There are Looter cards, and also Preserve cards. Preserve cards put both normal ruins and special ruins in the supply, and none of the Preserve cards are attack cards. There's a subtheme of Action-Victory cards (5 of them).
Rules for Special Ruins and Preserve cards: Include both Ruins and Special Ruins in the supply whenever a Preserve card is in the Kingdom (6 Ruins and 6 Special Ruins for a 2 player game, 12 of each for 3 player, 16 of each for 4 player). Whenever you would gain a normal ruins card, you may discard a card to gain a special ruins instead. When the ruins pile is empty, you always gain a special ruins instead and vice versa.
While you gain them under different circumstances, the Ruins and Special ruins in the supply otherwise count as a single supply pile. Both ruins piles must be empty for it to count as an empty supply pile. Special Ruins count as ruins for the purpose of other cards that refer to ruins (like Vagrant) except when cards cause players to gain ruins. (There are a total of four of each type of special ruins.) The special ruins are at the end of the list of Resurgence cards in this post.
In my fan-card philosophy, I see no reason not to use whatever other mechanics already exist. So durations, victory tokens, coin tokens, and the journey token all make an appearance. Most of the initial work on these cards was done in 2015-2016, so there aren't any post-Adventures mechanics. (Well, except the two landmarks.) There are a few new cards, but mostly what's been done since 2016 is testing and tweaking. Most of these cards have been well tested with my gaming group.
Another note: When I play with fan cards, I print out text-only versions of the cards, so I only make the mock-ups to post here. It's possible there are mistakes in them that I missed.
I'll post three or four cards at a time and keep them all here in the OP.
The first three are the Building Materials. They're special because whenever Building Blocks or Foundation is randomly chosen for the kingdom, Mortar Repair is also added to the supply. Mortar Repair has no randomizer of its own.
Building Blocks
$2 - Treasure - Reaction - Material
Worth $1.
When you play this, reveal the top card of your deck and discard it or put it back.

-
When this card is trashed, +$1 on your turn.
Mortar Repair provides a way to gain the other materials as well as a way to activate their reactions.
EDIT: I'll change this to "When you trash this." The original wording happened before I realized when someone plays a knight, you still trash your own cards, not the person playing the knight. EDIT2: I've also realized it doesn't need the Reaction type.
Mysterious Door
