Variants and Fan Cards / Card Idea: Castle Gate

« on: August 10, 2014, 11:48:23 pm »

This card is one of many ideas that I have been tossing around lately...any thoughts are, of course, welcome.

Castle Gate
Cost: 2
Type: Action
Put a card from your hand onto your Castle Mat, then play any number of cards from your Castle Mat.

This card affords you quite a bit of flexibility, boosting your future turns at the expense of your current one. I imagine one would use it similarly to Native Village, as you gain control, but the card is harsher on you this turn.

Variants and Fan Cards / Card Idea: Necromancer

« on: June 04, 2014, 07:42:48 pm »

Here's an idea I've been toying with:

Necromancer
Action [$2]
Trash 3 cards from your hand. Gain up to 3 cards, each costing no more than $6 from the Trash pile into your hand.

I know the name is overused, but I think it fits really well here. My worry is that the card will be too similar to Chapel most of the time, but I think the mandatory trash of three cards provides some more interesting late game decisions. Thoughts?

Variants and Fan Cards / Addict- Play treasure during your Action phase

« on: January 27, 2014, 11:02:34 pm »

I had an idea for a card that would let you use treasures for cards, and also get the cool effect of playing them during your action phase:

Addict
Cost:3
[Action]
Play a treasure card from your hand. +2 cards per $1 it produces.

Variants and Fan Cards / Engraver - Silver Trasher

« on: January 22, 2014, 10:11:37 pm »

I wanted a card that actually worked when you trashed a silver for a bonus.

Engraver
Action
$4
Gain a Silver. You may trash a Silver from your hand. If you do, +2 cards, +2 actions, +$2.

Don't know if the price is right, or if the concept is even worth pursuing.

EDIT: Added "from your hand" to trashing clause.

Variants and Fan Cards / Spell Cards

« on: June 30, 2013, 02:13:10 pm »

One of numerous "variable not in the supply" stack ideas. I tried to make all of the Spells worth around $5.

5 stacks of spell cards, one per player of each type. (All contain the text "not in the supply")

Growth Spell 0*
Action-Spell
+1 action
Gain a card costing up to $6
Return this card to the bottom of the Spell pile.

Reduction Spell 0*
Action-Spell
+1 action
All cards cost $2 less this turn, but not less than $0
Return this card to the bottom of the Spell pile.

Transformation Spell 0*
Action-Spell
+1 card
+2 actions
Trash a card from your hand. Gain a card of the same cost, putting it into your hand.
Return this card to the bottom of the Spell pile.

Levitation Spell 0*
Action-Duration-Spell
+3 cards
Set aside any number of cards from your hand.
At the start of your next turn, +1 action, put all cards set aside this way into your hand, and return this card to the bottom of the Spell pile.

Invisibility Spell 0*
Action-Spell
+1 card
+1 action
Trash up to 3 cards from your hand. +1 card per card you trashed.
Return this card to the bottom of the Spell pile.


Wizard 4
Action
+$2
Gain a Spell card from a Spell pile.

Mage's Study 2
Action-Reaction
Do this twice: Choose one: +1 card, discard a card; or +$1
___________________________________________________
When you discard this card except during your cleanup phase, you may reveal it and gain a Spell card from a Spell Pile.

EDIT: Changed to "from a Spell pile" and changed Spell rules

Variants and Fan Cards / Dominion:Enlightenment

« on: January 16, 2013, 12:12:01 pm »

This is a fan expansion I've had in the works for a while. It emphasizes engine building and loves action cards. This is totally open for critique, so feel free to tear it apart. My goal is to end up with thematic cards that are also interesting to play with. Enjoy!
Note: A couple of these cards have been taken from one of my earlier threads about "choosing" cards.

Headmistress
Cost:5
Action
Choose 3 (Choices must be different): +1 card, +1 action, +1 buy, +$1, trash a card, gain a silver.
If you have 2 or more copies of Headmistress in play, discard a card.

Academy
 Cost:3
Action-Reaction
+$2
When you play an action card, you may discard Academy from your hand. If you do, +2 cards.

Barricade
 Cost:2
Action- Duration
+1 buy
+$1
At the start of you next turn: +1 card.
While this is in play, when an opponent plays an attack card, you may gain a card costing $2 or less. If you do, you are not affected by the attack.

Revolutionary
 Cost:5
Action- Attack
Choose one: Each other player discards down to 3 cards in hand; or each other player gains a curse.
Each other player may trash a treasure card from their hand.
If this is the first time you've played a Revolutionary this turn, +$2.

Tavern
 Cost:4
Action
 Choose one: +2 cards, put a patron token onto your tavern mat; or gain an action card costing up to $3 per patron token on your tavern mat, then remove all tokens from your tavern mat.

Books (support card)
Cost:0
Action
+1 action
Reveal the top 3 cards of your deck. Trash one, then put the rest into your hand.
(this is not in the supply)

Librarian
 Cost:4
Action
 Choose one: Gain a Books from the Books pile; or Reveal cards from you deck until you reveal a Books. Put it into your hand and discard the other revealed cards.
You may play a Books.
You must have an action card in play to buy this card.
When you gain this, trash an action you have in play.

Scholar
 Cost:3
Action- Reaction
Look at the top 4 cards of your deck. Put one into your hand, then put the rest back in any order.
When you gain an action card, you may discard this from your hand. If you do, gain a Books from the Books pile.

Private Funds
 Cost:5
Treasure
 When you play this it is worth $1 for every action card you have in play. If this is worth $5 or more, trash this card.

Cafe
 Cost:4
Action- Victory
 You may play an action card from your hand.
+1 card
Every Cafe in your deck after the first is worth 3 VP.

Poet
 Cost:5
Action
+2 cards
+1 action
+$1
Put this card in your Poet mat.
You may buy cards on your Poet mat for $1 during your buy phase.

Philosopher
Cost:6
Action
 Choose one: Trash up to 4 cards from your hand. Gain a card costing up to $2 more than the number of cards you trashed; or Trash Philosopher. If you do, gain a card costing up to $6.

Rebel Village
 Cost:4
Action- Attack- Looter
+2 actions
Each other player with 5 or cards in hand trashes a copper from their hand or reveal a a hand  without copper and gains a ruins.
When you gain this, gain 2 copper.

Town Commons
Cost:3
Action
+2 actions
+1 buy
When you buy or trash this card, gain an action card costing up to $4 that is not a Town Commons.

Let me know what you think.

EDIT: Changed cost of Librarian to $4, changed Town Commons to "When you buy or trash...", changed the VP system for Cafe, changed Headmistress' text to to "Trash a card from your hand and changed Scholar's reaction to "When you gain an action" to prevent the promotion of BM.

Variants and Fan Cards / A couple of "choosing" ideas...

« on: November 28, 2012, 10:06:08 pm »

I wanted a card that said "choose 3" so here's my idea:

Administrator
Action
$5
Choose 3 (all choices must be different): +1 card, +1 action, +1 buy, +$1, trash a card, gain a silver.
Discard a card.

And here's an attack that allows you to choose the attack:

Desperado
Action-Attack
$5
Choose one: Each other player discards down to 3 cards in hand, OR each other player gains a curse.
Each other player may trash a treasure card from their hand.
If this is the first time you've played a Desperado this turn, +$2.

Let me know what you think!

Variants and Fan Cards / Charms

« on: November 24, 2012, 02:48:01 pm »

This is a new card idea I was toying with...

Rules note: When you elect to play with Charms you put in all 3 piles of six cards each. This counts as one kingdom card pile. If all 3 of the Charm piles are gone during the game, it counts as one pile gone.

Illumination Charm
Action-Charm
$3
Trash up to 3 cards from your hand. Gain a Charm.

Growth Charm
Action-Charm
$3
+2 cards
Gain a Charm.

Life Charm
Action-Charm
$3
+2 actions
Gain a Charm.


Charms are a bit zany, but I feel that there are some playable strategies with them. They are perhaps even OP? Any ideas are welcome.

Puzzles and Challenges / 7 Card Hand Conundrum

« on: November 17, 2012, 06:28:40 pm »

You have just played a village, then a smithy, and now have one action, 7 cards in hand, and no cards in your deck. None of the cards in your hand costs more than $6.

You may have any set of 10 kingdom cards you like. What is the most money (virtual+treasure) you can make this turn?

My best is $41.

Dominion Articles / Request: Countering Ill-Gotten Gains?

« on: October 17, 2012, 05:02:44 pm »

I have played many games with Ill-Gotten Gains, and every time, I feel it comes down to who gets the lucky 6-4 split on it. I understand that it depends on the set-up, but are there any strategies that tend to have a good chance of defeating it?
