A card that is strictly better than scout
I still don't get the concept of having a favorite color. That's like having a favorite musical note or a favorite letter of the alphabet. It's not really anything on its own, it only becomes something meaningful when it's combined with something else (like a shape, or another color).
With empires it is now possible to become the villa idiot.
It seems it would need to be a 2-cost kingdom card based on the comments above.
For flavor, the name will have to change to fit the remodel theme rather than the ruin theme.
I like Repurpose, but it's not actually a word (tell that to my board of directors). The other option is Refurbish.
Repurpose is a real word...
There's a cafe a few towns over that plays diddily-dee Irish music on every other Wednesday. I will drink espresso, you can have local craft beers. Afterwards, we will go to a hockey game. I claim it's important, since you are visiting Canada. You say "we aren't in Canada, we are in Siberia". I realize you are right. This has been a dream all along. Now, quick, we must escape the beet army. Except you aren't you anymore, but a parallel timeline version of me. It seems I was at the wellspring of my life. The Butterfly Effect was a lie all along! Time travel is permissive, the great man theory of history holds. As long as you don't kill Napoleon or someone, you can do whatever you want. While at the wellspring, I made every mother and grandmother in my family tree a bit more ... eager. I ended up being born 130 years earlier. Now our date is impossible, as I am stuck at the Industrial Revolution and you are stuck at the Global Civil War. I leave this message in a bottle, hoping you will find it. Then you wake up... I am the man of your dreams.
YMYOSL applies to Catan as well as Dominion. The problem is that the shuffle luck in Dominion has enough game time to equalize, whereas roll luck in Catan does not.
Roll luck in Catan has such a small impact compared to shuffle luck in Dominion that it doesn't need that much time, either. Like I said, I play a lot of Catan and I haven't lost a single game in years.
QuoteThe architecture was designed with a focus on online play, not offline or pass-n-play. Personally, I'd love offline play. It may happen at some point. But it doesn't make sense right now for the business. [...] So, offline won't happen any time soon. You know what? It is OK to play Ascension when you don't have internet, ...
It's not OK to play Ascension when you don't have internet. Ascension sucks.
I've never played Ascension, but this is the only proper response of a true Dominion believer. That MF guy is sprouting blasphemic nonsense and should, according to custom, be burned on the stakes.
I feel like if he would have gone with a real company (i.e. EA Games)
Really? Really? You pick EA Games as your standard of a professional company? The most hated "professional" game-making company in the business?
I'm out of touch with software... it's the only company I could think of that makes games. I'm not sure why people hate them but if Dominion was a pogo game, it would probably turn out better.
EA destroyed SimCity. That's enough reason to hate them right there. But as I understand it they've also destroyed a bunch of other good franchises.
What is "pogo"?

What is Gold? Is that kind of like Scout and Royal Seal?
