Innovation General Discussion / Re: Well, this board is dead BUT has anyone played with the new Artifacts expansion?

« on: October 29, 2018, 05:27:43 pm »

Almanac was nerfed as well. (The card from the higher age is now scored instead of foreshadowed, so you can't chain up ages anymore.)

I recently tried playing a game of Innovation with all 4 expansions, but e quit after a while because it was to complicated. Will probably try again with a slower approach soon.

I think for my own collection I'm content with echoes + Figures (patched to 3rd edition rules)

Obviously, Drawers are tokens that can be used for +1 card at any point during your turn.
Without wanting to diss your simple and good design, in my opinion Drawers are the most dubious of the three vanilla tokens as draw is something you rarely want to save. Early in the game cycling is very strong so the main strategic application of them is probably in the endgame, e.g. to set up a megaturn.

No worries, I mainly made it for the pun.

Having a card named Piazza seems unlikely to me when we have Plaza. Also, Artefact is missspelled.

General Discussion / Re: Replacing battery in mobile phone

« on: October 18, 2018, 01:45:57 pm »

While I didn't change a battery that was not easily accessible, I disassemble my old phone multiple times and switched out some parts. Disassembling a S6 looks a lot harder than what i needed to fro my S2 though.
I'd recommend watching a Youtube video or to about the operation you want to perform, then if you think you might be able to do it, try it out, but go in with the exepectation that it might not work.

Something different I encountered today: check out this sentence. It has both correct grammar and sensible meaning

The complex houses married and single soldiers and their families

this was incredibly confusing to me, I'm not sure if others have an easier time with it. Resolution: [The complex] houses [married and single soldiers and their families]

Somewhat less confusing: The horse raced past the barn fell. Resolution: [the horse (that) raced past the barn] fell. Apperently they're called garden path sentences.
[the house (that was) raced past the barn] fell. The way you have it has a different meaning than the original sentence.

Now yours doesn't make much sense. How can a house be raced anywhere?

The hard limit on DtX is much higher. The trade off is you can support fewer stop cards. For the crazy 70 card decks you would need to have no unplayable cards. 70 playable, non-cantrip actions is a tall order, but not exactly unprecedented. Of course there are all manner of enablers (e.g. Bm) that make it easier to sustain a huge deck).

I'd love to see that precedence.

IMO Adventures, Empires and the 2nd editions are excellent so your process is more or less working (Not personally fond of nocturne but it's not "bad")
Thanks; we had a lot of fun playtesting Nocturne, but I would change it a lot at this point, which is not true of Adventures or Empires.

I hope that only refers to the changing part, not the fun part.
