Dominion General Discussion / Re: Interview with Donald X.

« on: December 22, 2017, 06:24:08 am »

Also, a few pages back in this very thread http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=5799.msg732653#msg732653.

Do you ever draw inspirations from other games for your cards?

I don't mean "do you rip off other games" but rather are any cards intended to be secret cameos or homages?

Walled Village and Governor are openly homages to Carcassonne and Puerto Rico respectively.

That's true, although Walled Village doesn't imitate Carcassonne in any way, it just has that title. Governor does imitate Puerto Rico.

I don't think there are any secret cameos/homages. I blab that stuff. You could read all the Secret Histories to see if I'm forgetting one. I'm not thinking of one. Okay Chariot Race has the War mechanic. Mountain Pass has bidding, I got that from games with bidding. Keep has area control.
