Dominion General Discussion / Re: When did you start playing?

« on: September 18, 2017, 12:11:01 am »

First time was sometime between December 2010 and June 2011. I was dating a girl at the time whose brother had the game after his roommate introduced it to him. We played a few games and I loved it. I looked for it a few times but couldn't remember the name and nothing in stores triggered my memory. I forgot about it for a while until November 2016 when I told a few family members to get me the base game and a few expansions for Christmas. Since then I have gotten all but cornucopia/guilds. Looking forward to it being reprinted and the release of Nocturne currently. I also got my wife into playing it with me and have played the base and early expansions with my brother and his wife a few times when we got together.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: What will the next Dominion expansion be???

I'm rather new here and pretty late to the conversation I think, but commenting on the -1 action/buy idea, I think it can work with another thing I considered might be neat if it was ever implemented. The basic idea would be transformation of resources.

So if a card had -1 action, -1 coin to start, it could then allow transformation of actions/buys/coins into the others. Maybe it would need to let you play money like black market.
So you have 6 actions at the end of a turn and 16 coins, but only one buy? Maybe x number of actions can turn into one buy, and into whatever the - cost of the coin was to buy double province.

This could essentially make kingdoms with no engine into an engine using big money and converting the excess money into actions/buys. Would this actually beat big money? Who knows.


A second idea would be similar to overpaying but be "overplaying" So if you use two actions, a card does something extra? Or a card may be returned to hand which also costs 1action. So if you have 3 actions, you can play it twice. Once to play, once to return it, another to play it again.
