Dominion General Discussion / Re: Cornucopia & Guilds 2E

« on: February 11, 2024, 05:04:41 pm »

New cards is always very exciting! We kind of knew this was coming, I guess, from what DXV has told, but I don't want to take anything for granted! The 2. editions usually either carry forth the ideas from the removed cards in a better package, or tosses them out for something better, so you'll probably understand that I've enjoyed the 2. editions so far.

In Hinterlands 9 cards got swapped out. The wiki says the update pack is 100 cards, but that might include the bane card, so 9 might still be accurate. Dunno where the wiki has that info from?

Guessing which cards that'll be removed is pretty exciting imo, so this is my take on it currently. I'm guessing 5 gets cut from Cornucopia:

• Fortune Teller, to fit something stronger/more interesting
• Farming Village, to fit something stronger (that doesn't skip night cards?)
• Tournament, to fit something less of a polarizing that still gives prizes
• Harvest
• Fairgrounds, to spice it up like Silk Road got with Marchland

4 from Guilds:

• Candlestick Maker, to fit something more interesting
• Masterpiece, as the concept's aldready been redone with Delve in Empires
• Herald, to remove the mandatory playing of Actions, maybe refine it at the same time
• Taxman, to fit something with more immediate strength

If the Prizes gets updated too I would be ecstatic! I'm all for cards that makes decisions tougher, and some prizes definitely gets more often picked than others.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Preplay is amazing & makes the game really fast, but needs reaction confirmation

« on: June 03, 2022, 01:32:49 pm »

There is a subforum to talk about Dominion Online at ShuffleIt, and they have their own forums.

Anyway during opponents turns cards like War Chest should ignore any pre-played cards from your hand; only ones selected in the kingdom should be used for that.

Hexes should probably ignore pre-plays completely, they're too random for anything pre-played to be meaningful; and Sorceror should either ignore pre-played actions from your hand or ignore anything in your hand.

I mean it is Dominion general Discussion.  I post em here hoping that the site disigners see them.  I imagine this forum gets more eyes on it that the ShIt forum... but i've only been over a few times too...

 I can attest that a preplayed duchess went into preplay in response to a warchest. 

I imagine it would be just easier to add a confirmation to all reactions than to subdivide which ones would need it though, but I'm not a web designer so...

Gherald mentioned it being a subforum, so he's probably thinking of Dominion Online at Shuffle iT, child board of where you posted this.

Hey, are you considering updating your "guide to 12 Dominion Expansions", or did you specifically choose that title so you wouldn't have to?  It's strictly the best guide there is, so that would be nice. Thanks

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Musings and Pixie strategy

« on: March 26, 2020, 05:40:29 am »

In a kingdom with no attacks, no trashing except goat/pixie, no handsize-increasers except Destrier, and no spammable cantrip of much value other than pixie (you don't really need villages here), pixie is GREAT. Just getting flame's gift once is huge. It's a possible cantrip +2buys for destrier, you've 3 boons supplying 2 gains for destrier... in all, there's a lot to like about pixie here. Overall, pixie is a great 2-drop cantrip that I usually pick up most games, especially in otherwise mediocre kingdoms.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Menagerie Previews 4: Ways and Events

« on: March 05, 2020, 07:28:04 pm »

I've had 3 games with Populate, two of them had Fairgrounds, the other gardens. I thought for a sec the system was set up for them to appear together more often! Love this game, love the cards. Lotsa fun. Either it's the removed pressure of not playing rated, or it's that Populate is the most fun card in all of Dominion.

It skips over the other useless Adventurers you bought! That's makes it a better card!

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Mountain Pass

« on: June 15, 2018, 08:25:04 am »

So I think the presence of Mountain Pass often means that coin payload/production matter more. You don't want your opponent getting too big of a lead. If he takes the first province, while you're still planning to boost your engine, you can't afford taking a lot of debt (unless you have gainers). So it's a little bit like a counter to building too much. And that's a great addition to the game I think.
So get a coin payload/production lead and get those VPs as cheap as possible.

How am I supposed to get back to sleep now? I'm so excited for these cards!

Dominion has given you a whole phase to sleep in, and here you are, complaining?

(Okay this is going to get old pretty soon)

3 GREAT WAYS OF GETTING RID OF YOUR TRASH THAT YOU'D NEVER THINK OF (YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE NR 3!)

• Take it to chu.. chapel. Chapel it. Efficient. Gets the job done. Curses? Psh, no problem! Coppers? Anytime! They'll even take your property you wish you didn't inherit!
• Bonfire it! Gather the whole town to let them excitingly watch you bonfire your leftover coppers! Too bad your estates are all inflammable... you could've made the best bonfire the town would've ever seen!
• Farmland it. You see, peasants are magicans in disguise.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Why do people wish their opponent "good luck?"

« on: September 13, 2017, 05:39:29 pm »

I've many times hesitated to write "gg" after a (crushing) win (because I feel bad for my opponent), although leaving without writing anything doesn't feel any better.

I think it is a tricky decision because I don't know what I'd really prefer if I get crushed. It can feel annoying no matter what way my opponent responds.

So.. I think I'm overthinking this and should rather go with the consistent "gg".

Dominion General Discussion / Re: The Dominion Cards Lists 2016 Edition: $5 Cards

« on: February 28, 2017, 10:40:35 am »

Interesting that Bazaar and Bustling Village are so close to each other.

Bazaar: +1 card, +2 actions, +1$
Bustling village (worst case): +1 cards, +3 actions
Bustling village (best case): +2 cards, +3 actions, +1$

Even in the worst case it's better than Bazaar, so I thought it would be obvious that Bustling Village was better.
Then I remembered it's a split pile.
Now I'm not sure.
How big of a drawback is that split pile? With Settlers being #24/39 of the 0-2 cost cards...

EDIT: *cough*jkofcbazaarisbetter*cough*

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: NoMoreFun's Expansion WIP Thread

« on: July 12, 2013, 05:40:12 pm »

Commune
Action/Duration/Single - $2
Now, and the start of every turn this is in play: Draw until you have 6 cards in hand.
---
While this card is in play, it is also in the Supply.

(In the supply means the card can be bought and gained)

This sounds quite fun in 2p, but with more players, I think it will be a bit too political. However, I think I would rise the price, at $2 there's often nothing to buy anyway..?

I would've put Contraband above Harvest and Cache, I never buy them anyway.
