Weekly Design Contest / Re: Weekly Design Contest #150: Half!
« on: May 03, 2022, 01:04:50 pm »I assume "Your debt is forgiven" means you just return all your Debt tokens to the supply?
Debt relief is a must-buy even in games without debt, as it's essentially a one-shot Fortune.
It could be problematic in combination with Mountain Pass: No player may want to buy the 1st Province, since the other player could bid 40 and then buy Debt Relief on their next turn, to effectively gain 8VP for a cost of at most $3 (and having to use the once-per-game effect at a possibly suboptimal time). Maybe restrict it to returning 8 debt (the most you can get in games without Mountain Pass)?
Thank you for the suggestions Holger. I made an update with the recommended restriction and reworded to instead of using "forgive".

« on: April 24, 2022, 09:56:49 am »Scheming Court
Action - Sneak - $5
You may play an Action card from your hand twice.
Sneak: Replay a card you have in play twice.
Again, a card where the Action part is already an official card (Throne Room), but the Sneak is a bonus. It's basically a once per turn King's Court, but it can also work on Treasure and Night cards.
If the intent of the sneak is to replay the card even if it leaves play by being set-aside, or getting trashed, then consider phrasing it:
You may play an Action card from your hand twice.
Sneak: Play a card you have in play. Play it again.
I think it's possible to interpret the current wording as meaning you can only play it a 2nd time if it's actually "a card you have in play".
But with segura's concern, perhaps it's better to restrict its main ability to also be only in-play cards:
Play an Action card from your hand. If it is still in play, play it again.
Sneak: Play a card you have in play. If it is still in play, play it again.
I think that better balances its power with the likes of $5 Crown: It can't Throne Room cards that leave play like Horse, but its sneak can, as you describe, "once-per-turn King's Court" any card.

+1 Buy
Trash a card from your hand for +$1 per $1 it costs.
You may gain a card out of the trash. Take the Boulder.
State: Boulder
While you have this, you can't gain cards out of the trash.
At the start of your Buy phase, return this.
Is it intended that it can trash and regain a Province to buy a Province?
Sure, you can generate $6 out of one Province. The Boulder prevents some overuse like trashing two Provinces because your opponent would easily gain a Province out of the trash on their turn. I mainly intended it to be to make economy out of unused cards like higher cost Actions and Treasure that no longer have much use.

« on: April 05, 2022, 08:16:05 am »County Fair - a rotating split pilePark & Ride is far too similar to Student.
Ticket Booth looks very weak. Terminal sifting is not really a thing with only 1 Card and it does nothing in Kingdom without other Alt-Treasures for a long time (takes a long time until Ride Ticket is more than just a Silver).
I like State Fair though, that is some cool Forager style interaction. But the on-play effect has to be stronger.
Thank you for the feedback, segura.
- Park & Ride - Made it optionally trash two cards because that's better than one. Added +1 Card to help line up better with Estates. Made it terminal to balance its power per cost.
- Ticket Booth - Simply adding +1 Action would make it more powerful than the same cost Oasis. Swapped +1 Card with +1 Action since that was removed from Park & Ride.
- State Fair - Added +1 Card, +1 Action, to increase its power.

When you gain a Curse, you may spend 3 Favors to exchange it for a card costing up to $3
Lovely idea.
It would probably be fine only costing 1 favor and/or allowing a gain up to $4. In games without a Curser it's basically Alms, and you still need a buy. It may even be fine not specifying Curse (to combo with Silver and Copper gainers, more remodel variants, etc.)
Thank you for the feedback. I have revised it to now state: "When you gain a card, you may spend 2 Favors to exchange it for a card costing up to $4"
I revised Circle of Mages again to restrict the type of card exchanged for to be non-Victory.

« on: February 21, 2022, 10:23:09 am »I agree this project feels way off as it is hard to hit $8 if a strong attack card are on board which completely defeats the purpose of such a project, notice most moats cost $2 or $3, that is to help players gain them even through heavy attacks. Also the odds you get a mega action hand of 5 card is doubly hard when you are forced to discard down to 3 cards or have a lot of junk cards in your deck.Project: Magna Carta

You must have at least 5 differently named Action cards in play to buy this.
I know some people (especially those I play with!) often want more ways to "defend" against attacks. Moat, Champion, Lighthouse... are there other "full" protections? A project may be a good place for such a design. But it's not an easy thing to design.
As it currently stands, there are *so* many barriers here. Some kingdoms don't have any villages, and then you'd need at least 4 different cantrips, which is rare too. On top of that, you have to land such a hand with 5+ unique action cards played with at least $8 coins, likely before greening starts for it to be worthwhile (though not necessarily before). And, even if you land all that, this project can end up in kingdoms with no attacks!
Does it need something else added instead of just moat-effect? Does it need a lower barrier (not 5+ unique actions in play)? Does it need a lower cost? I don't know. But it feels to unreachable for this first version.
Thank you for the feedback mathdude & arowdok. I wanted the cost to be similar to Moat or Lighthouse @ $2 x 4 to reflect that it lasts throughout the rest of the game, and for it to be similar to a cost of a Province: when making it to $8 for the first time, would you decide to buy this vs by a Province? But I get the point about the barrier when there is attacks going on, so I've reduced it to $7 and changed the on-buy restriction to be just 5 differently named cards which seems much more plausible: 2 actions + 3 treasures.
