Dominion League / Re: Season 4 - Announcing livestreams
« on: October 27, 2014, 01:46:50 pm »
I'm streaming my match against Fergesser today at 22:00 GMT+2, which is in about 2 hours and 15 minutes from now, or October 27, 2014, 04:00:00 pm in the time zone of your forum preferences.

EDIT: It would help if I had my own forum settings right before using the time tag.  :-[ EDIT 2: To clarify, it's fixed now.

The interaction with Feast is interesting.  Runner up to Procession, I reckon.
It's worse than Throne Room though, isn't it? Throne Room trashes the Feast from your hand and gains two cards. This trashes the Feast from your deck, gains two cards, and then probably trashes itself as well because Feast is no longer in play.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: A revisit to a VP card that counts Curses
« on: October 27, 2014, 12:55:48 pm »
I think it either needs to be "for each" or "per", not "per each".

well, it's the best card to count curses I've ever seen, that's for sure. But... if you don't want a junker on the board, this is... a colony? I mean both players can buy it, but no-one has a reason to early on, it'll just be a worse Hag. And in the end, it's probably going to stay at 10 VP. Or... 20 VP in 3player. 30VP in 4 player? Do you start playing it, even if you bought it late? Probably depends on the board.
But if you don't want a junker, then the odds are that you also don't mind buying Curses with your extra buys (if you have any), so you can always do that to make your opponent's Graveyards worth less VP. Depending on how heavily he commits to them, a Curse might even be better than a Province.

Factory, 5$
+1 Card
+1 Action
+1$
Gain a card costing up to 4$
I think it's too powerful.

I know it's nagging, but wouldn't that have to be "Action card"?
No. Action and Action card in this context are used interchangeably in official cards (except I think it's always Action card when you're gaining it to avoid confusion).

Also, you are all wrong.

The real answer was Potion, of course, as the only other six-letters-in-the-name, not-a-kingdom-card-but-in-the-supply treasure card in Dominion.  And I thought it was easy...

My answer was better.
No, your answer was Scout.

Another way to make games longer is having Scheme and Ghost Ship and no villages and no trashing in all kingdoms.

There is already not that much interaction in Dominion, especially in 1 vs 1. With your change it would become a glorified solitaire.

Disagree! If there is no attack cards on the kingdom, or if they are weak / don't work well with the rest of the board, there will be almost no interaction beyond deciding when to start buying provinces - and even that will be more limited, given the elimination of 3-piling.

Granted, the timing of provinces buys is a very interesting decision - but it's certainly not what I'd consider "lot of interaction".

If your opponent's buys aren't affecting your buys, you are playing it wrong.

In my playgroup, it has been established that people can ask me for tips during the game and then I will give them tips. And then I win every game anyway. But it's a lot more fun losing the game when you at least have some idea what you're doing.

As long as the remaining 9 cards are enough to do something interesting with any of the potential exclusive cards, it shouldn't be a problem. Also, when you design the kingdom, you could make some cards unavailable for being chosen as an exclusive card.

No, it is not. I do not recall the last game where I needed sound in order to play.

Blind people also probably don't recall the last time they needed to see in order to walk.

Unless I have a specific reason for unmuting all of my devices are muted all the time; computer, ipad, phone, etc. When I use someone else's device and all the bleeps and bloops and dings and whizzes I just don't know what the hell people are doing with their sound on. I recently watched a hearthstone stream and was flabbergasted at how amazingly annoying it is with sound.

And playing a video game isn't a specific reason for unmuting?

For shraeye:

I played an Action Card on T3 that revealed and discarded three Estates and drew two Coppers.  I then bought another copy of that Action Card.

What Action Card did I play, and how?
Oracle, revealing two Estates from your deck and an Estate and a Mountebank from your opponent's deck, discarding all of them, and then drawing two Coppers.

Nice!

My answer was Adventurer, having opened with a 5C and Baker coin, then drawn it with 4C on T3, discarded three estates while finding two copper.
That doesn't work though, since Adventurer doesn't technically draw.

Another answer to ash's puzzle would be catacombs.
That also doesn't work, because Catacombs doesn't reveal the cards.

Question : Do I have to own all the sets?  I only own four.
No, your opponent can host the games if he has more sets than you do and if he doesn't, then you'll play with those four.

Is it Moat?: Have at least two different cards in your hand that react when your opponent plays an Attack.
It's not a useless line: Trash a card with a P in its cost with Apprentice.
Mad Camp: Have the Nomad Camp you bought last turn collide with another terminal Action.
The most powerful card in Dominion: Make an opponent topdeck the last card in his hand with Bureaucrat.
Generous: Get -$1 or less with Poor House.
The lucky Chancellor: Play your one Chancellor on turn 3 and every turn after it.
Which one: Reveal three Witches with Advisor.
Sacrifice: Trash a Cultist with an Altar.
They are delicious: Butcher a Rats into a Feast.

Overall, I think the German version is the best. I do prefer artwork on my cards, but when I am teaching people how to play, I do think the current format makes it slightly more difficult for beginners to realize the denominations of stuff. Maybe, we will get one last revised edition of the treasures when they are eventually included with the base set and intrigue.

I teach people with the original base cards, then switch them over to the newer ones as soon as possible.

Why do you keep switching people? You wouldn't have to teach them every time if you played against the same people more.

In solo play:

a. (not so easy) have a deck with total cost in coins of $35+ when shuffling for the first time.

b. (easier version, it helps to get the other one) have 8 Actions in the deck when shuffling for the first time.

Open 5/2, keep buying Mandarins.

Awaclus, the first paragraph of your post is completely unhelpful to anyone. It makes me think of those annoying people that put up their hands in the middle of a long proof and interrupt the line of thoughts to say there should be 6 instead of 5 closing parenthesis at the end.

Without the first paragraph, there would have been nothing to "therefore" about. And then there would have been no post at all. I couldn't have made statements that were in conflict with eHalcyon's statement without pointing out why eHalcyon's statement isn't true. You can't think that only the first paragraph is completely unhelpful because everything else follows from it. Thinking that the entire post is completely unhelpful is reasonable, of course, but then it would be strange that you only complained about the first paragraph.

Your statements aren't really in conflict with mine.  Your first point, "if it feels intuitive" -- that's just a less precise way of saying what I said.  When would a player find it intuitive that a Moat would block another card?  When that card forces you to do something you don't want to do, i.e. when it hurts you.

Your second point is more an exception than a rule, as far as we've seen in official cards.  You can use it to help explain why Masquerade and Possession aren't attacks, but it's not really necessary.  "Does it generally hurt?" is enough for those two (though it's controversial with Possession, sure).

According to your statement, Flare should be an Attack. According to mine, it shouldn't. They are in conflict.

I'm going to stream my match against Moharimo today in ~75 minutes, but since it's my first time streaming, I'm probably going to go live a bit earlier to test it out.
