Variants and Fan Cards / Dominion: Enlightenment

« on: September 26, 2023, 06:34:13 pm »

a village/church/ vagrant hybrid. also the top card of the grounds (mixed)pile

2nd card of the grounds pile. it's last effect stems from the 3rd card of the pile's ability: money villaging


I don't know if this mechanic is viable, since it may be hard to keep track of, but this card introduces money-villaging, where you play or gain a treasure into play or under another card in exchange for more actions. this card on its own is pretty weak for its cost, but it's meant to sync with Track/Wreath to work as a village and buy-payload engine.

This card would be OP if there were 8-12 of them, but if there's only 4-5, and in a mixed/rotateable pile, its floor isn't as good.

A caravan-market hybrid treasure. i went with $5 over $4 since a card and $ with the caravan duration is stronger than caravan. The discard for gain is to allow the card to be recycled through the deck on every turn potentially. This is why the initial payload is weak for a $5 card.


a cheap payload engine card with a small risk


Cheap utility card that can sync with itself pretty well. I gave it $3, since it's basically shaman with a buy or a weaker caravan.

Seems a little strong at first glance, but the haven effect could be sometimes detrimental/ dull for a +1 buy card. I went with $3 to ensure it'd get run.

This is just a cheaper Lab with a binding


Lost city variant. i think it's pretty fair.


Cheap low-utility card with some deck cycling potential. if this was $3 it would be too risky. maybe a sneaky good card for some RNG payload for $2.

I think this is a pretty cool card. it doesn't block an attack, but does penalize the attacking player. this can stack on itself so it wants to get attacked, since it will draw cards when revealed. but it has no payload and must trash a card when actually played. so it's not just a sneaky cheap caravan. its cost is based on moat and caravan. it's worst than caravan for payload, and worst than moat in attack reaction. 1+3/2=$2. when there are no attack cards, it's just a worst Student.

the point of this card is to hopefully secure playing a haybale each time. haybale is a non-supply card like horses/spirits/loots


when combined with Wagon, it has some good deck-cycling and payload potential. but i think the coolest use of wagon/haybale is to use wagon to gain haybale in order to have a trash-gain engine. haybale can become a duchy or gold with most remodel cards, and wagon keeps the haybale supply going.

a spammable harbinger/ scavenger night card that isnt gained into your hand and doesn't really work well if you draw multiple copies into a starting hand. this could be super strong with deck cycling kingdoms and slightly weak without one. i gave it $4 since it has a double scavenger without an inherent payload, and is spammable like harbinger since its a night card

The point of this card is to sync with Mana and to counter attacks. The more Manas you have, the better Magi gets, since it's weak single-use payload is slightly weak for its cost.


This is not that great without a +buy or attack kingdom, but it offers flexibility in that you can gain a $5 card for free from Magi and trash/gain from it. otherwise, it's weak. i think it's strongest use is as a deterrent for others to play attacks.

I have more coming, i just want to post this before i accidentally delete or close something

Feedback / Why isn't there a disconnection amount threshold to force a resign?

« on: July 03, 2022, 07:39:36 am »

I'm currently in a game #103928451....the guy (itsame6)has disconnected 7 times and the game has taken around 10 minutes for 13 turns....it seems like he's doing it intentionally as a way of pressuring me to resign so he can farm rating...

why isn't there a forced resign after...the 5th one?

edit: now i resigned due to the slowplay....

Let's Discuss ... / Lets discuss: Barbarian

« on: March 13, 2022, 05:20:20 am »

I think this is my least favorite card now. It's trashing powers alone make it swingy to all hell. It has a higher probability of giving players curses than swindler, and the locust effect on other cards is more powerful than same-cost-replacement.

This card is cracked, for sure.

Variants and Fan Cards / New traveller-type cards

« on: March 04, 2022, 01:36:14 am »

Hi. I have new card types. They act like travellers and cost $4-7 in order to help the last one not get trashed by being in the $3-6 range. Please give a response for each one. Thanks.

The first type are Vendors. The idea is to amass coffers and pressure other players to not buy cards.

Variants and Fan Cards / a semi-complicated, but deep expansion, called "Wartime"

« on: January 21, 2022, 06:49:03 am »

I have a pretty cool idea for an expansion, called “Wartime”. The main niche of this is to introduce a new pre-phase (ie before ABC) on player’s turns where, if a player wants,he can initiate an attack on another player in hopes of gaining vp tokens and/or causing the losing player to lose vp tokens. The wartime outcome will be determined by which player had higher wartime power in hand during an attack. Before a player starts his turn, he may declare an attack on a player. Once this happens, the involved players reveal their hand and the hand with the most wp (wartime power) wins. The winning player recieves 2 vp tokens and the loser loses 1, but never goes below 0. In the event of a tie, the attacker loses  1 vp token and only draws 4 cards on the next hand, but nothing happens to the defender. Wartime power is dedicated to new cards, which have various strengths and powers. In a game with 3 or more players, a player may only attack one player per turn. After a defending loss, the defender may gain up to a 3$ card into his discard pile. You don’t play cards during wartime, but just reveal your hand and add up the wp. The effects on Soldier cards only get resolved during the regular abcn phases of players’ turns. A reserve buy token, called a “stock”, is introduced.

Setup:
New supply pile cards, non supply cards, new events. Players start with 5 copper, 2 generic 1wp (wartime power) soldiers with +1$ and +1 action, 2 estates, and a draft card (which, when played, causes you to trash it and gain a starting soldier of one of the 8 archetypes into your discard pile for free).

New card characteristics:
There will be soldier card archetypes in the supply, that have 5 tiers, that function like peasant/ page, where after playing the supply card, you can start the exchange process with non-supply cards that increase in power as you move up.  Except in Wartime, there are 8 cards like this, and they are always played with each other in every setup. Each archetype card will have you pay 2$ to exchange for the next tier during the night phase.

Archetypes: Construction, naval, engineering, Garrison, and reconnaisance, magic, mounted, and industry.

Soldier cards:

Construction soldiers focus on granting villagers, having the passive moat effect, and trashing/gaining.

Naval soldiers focus on exiling cards and attacking the top 2 cards of a player’s deck and trashing one treasure of the attacked player’s choice

Engineering will focus on these effects: reducing the costs of cards, and [eventually]gaining “launchers”, a card that sends an untrashable “heavy stones” card (does nothing, but you may pay 2$ to exile it). Both “launcher” and “ heavy stones” are non-supply cards only gained from other cards. There will be twice as many “stones” cards in a kingdom as there will be curse cards, because they can be exiled quickly.

Garrison will focus on gaining cards (higher tiers gain starting garrison soldiers for free), drawing an extra card into your hand after a defending win or tie, and granting + cards/actions at the start of next turn.

Reconnaisance is a night card soldier that focuses on spying/ discarding cards in other players hands/ top of deck when played at night, and reacting to attacks/ gains passively, by allowing you to topdeck, trash, or send back to the instigating player a gained card. Top tier recon’s spy ability cannot be blocked

Magic is also a night card soldier, whose starting tier cost 3$+potion. Magic soldiers will focus on granting boons/hexes (both at the same time, eventually), increasing the price of cards on other players’ turns, and being able to gain from the trash, or choose one player from whose exile you will remove a card and place into their discard pile.

Mounted soldiers will focus on gaining horses into the discard pile, attacking the top cards of other player’s deck and having the option of trashing it if it is between 3-6. And if it does, it trashes itself. Whenever a horse is returned to its pile, you may reveal a mounted soldier to cause all players to reveal the top card of their deck. You choose whether to keep or discard them.

Industry is focused on granting coffers, gaining vp tokens when buying another soldier, and adding 1$ to other soldiers played on turn.

Each tier has a corresponding number of wp; so, the first archetype soldier has 1wp, the 3rd has 3wp, and the top tier has 5wp. Also, the 4th tier soldiers are worth 2 vp each, and 5th tier soldiers are worth 4 vp each. You may gain 1 “general” card per each tier 5 soldier archetype you play a card from, with a maximum of 8.

This makes the game go longer, but will have more interesting interactions and scenarios to plan for..

It might be good to add 1 or 2 extra supply decks to each kingdom.

Some other content ideas are: have a pre-game draft, called “constitution”, where, in reverse order of turns, each player may choose an event, landmark, or project to be used in the game. This would mean the inclusion of past content into the physical game.

Other cards. Terms: c (card), a (action), v (villager) , $ (purchasing power) vpt (victory token)


5$ “Barns” worth 2 vp. Whenever a card is bought or returned to a pile, you may reveal this to gain a horse or a 3$ card onto your deck. Victory/ Action card

6$ “Blacksmith” Whenever a player gains a soldier, reveal this to gain a coffer. You may trash a treasure from your hand. Per it’s value in $, you may gain up to that amount of cheaper cards. Action / Reaction card

Dominion General Discussion / manually top-decked card order determination

« on: July 10, 2021, 04:48:40 am »

Hi. just wondering if there is a way to control what order cards are placed onto your deck when prompted to do so without "in any order" from the card played?

so, basically i am wondering if the order in which i click on them before i submit them determines when i will draw them? or is it randomized?

Dominion General Discussion / Fairgrounds not counting cards outside the supply towards "you have"

« on: July 05, 2021, 05:25:29 pm »

I just played a game with fairgrounds with travellers, and intentionally kept one of each traveller hoping to make my fairgrounds worth 8 points a piece.

But when i bought fairgrounds the first time with 20 unique cards, it only gave me 6 points.

Fairgrounds does not specify a card source, like most other cards do (ie "from the supply"), so i believe this to be errata.

Thanks for any help.

when i played a beggar to get 3 coppers to my hand, i reacted with a trader. however, they were not gained into my hand, but into my deck.

is this correct, or a bug?
