Dominion: Guilds Previews / Re: Preview #4: Butcher

Maybe you guys are right about that, but he might add in a rule that says that all spent coin tokens are set aside and return to the possessed player at the end of the turn (similar to trashed cards).

It will be interesting to see what the rules are concerning possession and coin tokens. I would not be surprised if DXV rules that the possessing player cannot play and of the possessed player's coin tokens.

That would mean that playing Butcher when possessing someone yields the possessed player 2 coin tokens. I guess you might do this to drain provinces or a third pile at the end of the game.

Just thinking out loud.

I haven't seen one. If so, please merge this in.

I went down very quickly 5 achievements. I used fermenting to get some draw into the higher ages. I found mass media to keep my opponents score pile away from 30 since there was no way I was going to be able to build mine up that quickly.

I then found socialism to tuck my entire hand (10 cards) to get empire and monument (through icons). This brought up empiricism and my 20 lightbulbs win the game.

I wish I could say that I really had any idea of what I was doing. However, I think this and other games like this show that you can't give up at any point in this game. There's always a chance of things turning around.

Another argument for sea hag > mountebank is that Horse Traders reaction will be in effect all game against mountebank and only until the curses run out vs. sea hag.

Additionally, you could get a useful card with the HT card from mountebank whereas you're just going to draw the curse when it's activated vs. sea hag.

Yes, I voted for HT -> mountebank originally. :p

Game Reports / Pulled off a -Stef- (not really!)
« on: February 15, 2013, 11:28:29 pm »
I bought a Nomad Camp with $9 to make sure I got a +buy to maximize my double digit cash hands. This was a fun and interesting board. I trashed down fairly quickly with steward and made sure to buy cards that were going to minimize my hand size (inn, lighthouse) so that I could maximize the effect of Library. I bought my first inn with $6 to take advantage of the on-buy "deck sifting." (I'm sure there's a better term for this, but I'm not sure what it is.)

The early work with steward probably won this one for me, but I was still proud of my overpaying for Nomad Camp. (Yes, I probably should have bought Nomad Camp when I actually had $4 earlier, but I wasn't thinking that far ahead. I'll get there eventually.)

Demo of Sol Forge is well worth a try:

Too bad this is iPad only. Haven't been able to save for one yet. Looks like it has potential to be amazing though. Thanks for the link!

I don't really have much to add, but wanted to say thanks for helping me win this game:

I'm not sure if I played optimally, but it was awesome to actually use those buys for good use. :)

Maybe this is uber-obvious but you could use Spy to keep an opponent's Gold on top of their deck and then trash it with your Pirate Ship.

I know about the various websites devoted to iPhone and iPad board games, but I was wondering, what are YOUR favorite board games on iOS and why?

I really like Ticket to Ride and Carcassone. What others do you guys like?

So now the Texan count is 2.5. I only consider myself half Texan, as I spent the majority of my life in New England.

We'll count you, as long as you don't root for the Yankees!

Yay another Texan! I go to school in OK now, but I've lived in Abilene nearly my whole life.

gl surviving in the home of the okies. (I went to UT :p) I grew up in Midland and live in Dallas now.

Introductions / Howdy from Texas!
« on: June 18, 2012, 12:35:35 pm »
I'm not really a cowboy. I just greet people as one. :)

I got hooked into dominion about 2-3 months ago when a tournament started on another message board. I lurked the tournament, started an iso account and proceeded to get crushed. (I think I literally lost 30 games in a row to start my time on iso.)

I've read some of the basic articles and picked up the base set game on iOS. It helped to a certain extent, but not much on iso since there's all of the other cards in there.

I really enjoy playing, even when I'm getting crushed. I feel like I'm learning something new that I can use in the future.

I'm a little concerned about the future of dominion online, but I can only hope that the powers that be will make it accessible to as many players as possible.
