Puzzles and Challenges / Re: What is missing?

« on: February 11, 2012, 02:52:06 pm »

I know that this puzzle was posted a while ago, but i just have to write my attempt at an answer: I noticed that Gardens, Mine, Mint, and Goons all can use coppers, e.g. Gardens has it fill up your deck, mine turns them into silvers, mint trashes them, and Goons gets VP for buying them. But moat/inn?

I think the worry about Siege is that it's a treasure;

Oh, that was not my worry, I didn't realize... But yes, now that you say it it is really a problem, this has to be a terminal I think.

Thank you again. Maybe it should be "Now and at the start of your next turn: +$1" Is that good?

I think the problem with Siege is how it scales in multiplayer and/or played in multiples.  I think Donald (or rinkworks) mentioned problems with these kind of cards, because once you have 4 player playing them each round, things get nasty.
Cutpurse has diminishing returns as the probability that you can hit another Copper decreases each time you are hit (and usually also as the game evolves), but this one has not.

It's not throneroomable which is a good thing, maybe it even works, but I would definitely test it with 4 players, or find a hack that it works different there...

Great Warrior I would try with "discard" instead of "trash". Is probably nasty enough, and if that works you might try "trash", but I don't think this is fun. At least, like Saboteur, give the possibility to replace by some lower cost card.

Thanks for the comment about Great Warrior, I'll change that. Also, even though I have come up with these cards, I can't really playtest them. I guess I need a little help there. But thank you for your comments!

Variants and Fan Cards / Fan cards: Siege and Great Warrior

« on: February 07, 2012, 08:23:29 pm »

These are two fan cards I've been working on, thought they would be cool. Anyway...

Siege
Cost: $4-5
Treasure-Duration

Worth $1 now and your next turn.

--------------------------------------

While this is in play, in your opponents buy phase, cards cost $1 more.


Great Warrior
Cost: $?

+1 card. Each other player discards an action card from their hand (or reveals a hand with no action cards).

How do you think these would do, and what should they cost? Thanks.

This just happened, so I'll have to submit it for next year's list, but I was amused by this turn....8 Golds gained off of Tunnel with only 2 Tunnels in my deck:
...

Here's a tl;dr for that:
Toaster plays a hamlet
Revaling about 25 tunnels and gaining golds

Maybe if, like KC vs TR, Remodel would be more forcing and Expand would be less restrictive...

I'm sorry, but are you sure that you looked at expand? I'm pretty sure it says "up to," like remodel, so I don't understand what you mean when you say it's so restricted.

« on: February 06, 2012, 04:15:00 pm »

I hope you played your durations last turn...

Great Wall
$1
Treasure-Reaction

Worth $1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When another player plays a card, you may set this card aside from your hand. If you do, you are unaffected by attacks until the start of your next turn. At the start of your next turn, +2000 cards, -1 action, -1 buy.

Dominion General Discussion / Isotropic pictures?

« on: January 31, 2012, 12:30:19 pm »

Does anyone know where the pictures on isotropic come from? I've only figured out two:

Scheme comes from a scene in the Princess Bride,

Tactician is from "Napoleon Crossing the Alps,"

Anybody know anything else?
