An updated & simplified version of this card:

Quote
Inventor
$5 cost - Action
+1 Card. +1 Action.
You may trash a card costing at least $2. If you do, +2 cards. Otherwise, gain a silver.

There should be red X's in the upper right corner of every card on the results page. If you aren't seeing them. Maybe try refreshing (Ctrl+f5 if possible)? If refreshing doesn't fix it, let me know browser and platform you are on, and I can attempt to investigate.
okay, it started working after I refreshed.
(I didn't expect refreshing to make a difference since I've restarted by browser since your update.)

You can now repick cards after the Kingdom has been generated. Now you get rid of Rebuild even if you didn't put it in the exclude list without re-rolling the entire board.

How do you do this? I can't figure out how. Is there supposed to be a button for it that isn't appearing for me?

Seems to me like if you left a Feast on the Native Village mat for too long, when you came back, all the villagers would be fatter and your feast would be gone.
But the morale of your villagers would be up, and maybe they would've built something for you (like a wharf, a library, or a forum) or held a festival in your honor, or got their witch to curse your enemies.

If this is still on your native village mat 5 turns after putting it there, play this.

If enough people volunteer, then it might be cool for each writer to write the stories for one expansion in the canpaigns. That is, if nobody minds having some different writing styles represented.

I'm ashamed of my submission now. I said to myself "what can I come up with right now for the landmark contest," and I put almost no thought into it. And I ended up not voting for it.

Also, I was considering voting for swamp, but decided not to. If I had, it would be a finalist. My apologies to its designer...

PS: Why did Adrian know the voting results before Mith posted them?
EDIT: ...because the poll results are public, duh.

I would recommend having a story, though - it's nice to have something flavorful to tie together the games.  It's far more interesting to wonder if the Prince of Vaccara will find the thief who stole his poodle (or whatever, hopefully better story is come up with), rather than just playing Prosperity Game #13.
Well someone would need to write the stories. Not it.

I mean, I'd be willing to offer my services as a writer.  Only got two Kindle e-books on my resume, really, but just putting it out there.
Oooh I'm a writer too, I'd like to write the campaign stories. I usually write middle grade fantasy adventure.

You could make everyone's rings/braclets/pants/etc. just slightly larger, so that they are more prone to fall off their persons, and then your minions could grab them off the ground.

Hello, police?  Yeah, I think I've found the most sinister villain ever.

I get how Remodeling a Counting House into a King's Court works, but how about Remodeling a Followers into a Necropolis? Or a Duchess into a Cutpurse? Dominion is actually really dark when you think of it like that. That should be a new thing with the mafia: "Hey, did you take care of Luciano? Yeah, we remodeled him real good."

What does the trash in Dominion really represent? Apparently a place were Upgraded Witches and Forged Villages hang out.

How'd you manage to remodel a Followers into a Necropolis?

Works nice on Province, Gold and Potion costs, but should be fine for $5s, too.
Now that you mention it I really think that it should be restricted to Action or Kingdom cards. Two Provinces for 10$ or two Colonies for 13$ seems a bit crazy.
Bootlegger only gains you one card.

I like Bootlegger and I like the change to Orphanage. I don't think being a village that's also worth getting in BM makes it too strong.

I've always found this picture to be creepy.

I +1 it because it is a Jester-related post.
I did the same for Library, but I didn't feel the need to brag about it...

4 to 5 is a far huger step than from 3 to 4 and there aren't really that many totally bad 5s. Sure, if you hit Counting House while there are no Coppers in your discard or a Curser while curses are already out it sucks.
But you still got another card and the likelihood of hitting two bads 5s is fairly small.

a good card and a card that gives what you need at that particular moment are often two different things.

So did you already play with the card? If so, how did you and the other players like it? :)
Nope. I like the idea but it doesn't super-excite me and I have a hunch that with the current parameters, 10 cards in the deck and two to choose from, Secret Society would even be very strong at 4$.
I really doubt it. Unreliability is a big factor, and when you don't know which two $5 cost cards you'll be able to choose from, it could likely be something that's not at all what you need at that moment.
That said, I'd rather put 20 cards in the Secret Society deck just for fun.

I haven't played with it yet, but I recently printed it out and will be playing with it very soon.

When he took off that mask for the first time, I couldn't believe they didn't get a good-looking actor to play Han Solo's son.

Why does everyone say this? Adam Driver looks awesome.
He looks to me like a young version of Alan Rickman.

I think I could appreciate this thread a lot more if you listed the cards you're talking about....
Go to Rio Grande Games and download a copy of Empires, and all other rule books.
I think using the wiki would be much easier.

« on: August 01, 2016, 01:12:11 am »
Seems fairly balanced. The question is, is it fun?

It has been so far. We've played I think 3 games with it.

and one of them was that game where he got relic and ghost ship from the black market (and this was before the limitation on the attack was added). He played ghost ship, then canines (making me discard a gold), then relic, so I started with 2 cards in my hand and my -1 card token. BUT I had a haunted woods in play from the previous turn and one of my two cards was a lost city, so I started by removing the token and drawing two cards and bought two provinces that turn to win.

Variants and Fan Cards / a fan card my friend came up with
« on: July 31, 2016, 09:23:43 pm »
So I got my friend into playing Dominion, and we played with some of my fan cards so he wanted to make a fan card too. So here's his first fan card. The only part I added was limiting the attack to players with at least 4 cards in hand. Do you think it's balanced? Is it worth $6? He had originally cost it at $5, but I told him it was too strong for $5, so we changed it to $6.

Quote
Canines
Cost $6 - Action - Attack
+$1.
Each other player with 4 or more cards in hand discards a treasure or victory card. If any victory cards were discarded, take 3 coin tokens. Otherwise take 2 coin tokens.

- Yeah, it's pretty funny that we got "Burial Grounds" and "Burial Mounds" with the exact opposite effect (they are even worded in opposite ways). Also agree the Burial Mounds is better (which seems to be the concensus so far).

- Archaeologist might be kind of neat (actually I've been going back and forth in my head about whether it would be fun at all, but at least currently I've settled on the opinion that it looks fun). Unfortunately, as ConMan pointed out, it breaks the rules of the contest, so no go.

-Cenotaph would work much better as an event with a cheap cost to put a card under it. I don't think it works well as a landmark.

- I'm undecided about Golden Isles. I like the idea, but I really don't like the "when scoring..." line. I think it could still qualify as a landmark without it because of the Setup VP.

- I think New World may as well say "In games using this, the game only ends if three piles are empty (and not nessesarily when the province or colony pile is empty)." (Although it could be fun to use as-is with Provinces and Ritual...)

- I like Ossuary, but I think it would be better if the VP bonus was 2. (Of course then it has the not-unlikely possibility of changing curses into estates as long as you trash a certain numbr of them, which isn't nesessarily a bad thing, but it might be better to exclude curses anyway.)

- Plains: I agree with Asper that there's no need to boost Provinces.

- Sacrificial Cenote: There's a good idea in there somewhere, but I agree with others that it's way too vague as-is.

- Swamp isn't one of my favorites here, but I do like that it penalizes strategies that focus on VP chips.

1045
Ghost Ship + Relic is really nasty (my opponent got both from the Black Market), but my turn was saved by my Haunted Woods from last turn (also from the Black Market) with which I drew Crown and Lost City (Crown was also from the Black Market -Lost City was a kingdom card).
Black Market is fun.

New catchphrase that I just came up with

Buy a Scout or get the %@&+ out
I didn't buy a scout, but I did get one by Upgrading a silver on my very last turn just to get another action card in my deck.

I posted a kingdom here, using the card image button to show images, and the images wouldn't show for any card that has a space in its name.
EDIT: I found a workaround which may help you to find the bug: When I capitalized Hunting_Party, Horn_of_Plenty, and Hunting_Grounds, then the images showed correctly. (It took me two tries for Horn of plenty because I tried 'Horn_Of_Plenty' first.)

Also, how do you use the kingdom button in the fds plugin?

I actually played this kingdom today online. It was way fun.
(I'd post the log but the gokosalvager site is down at the moment).
EDIT: until I get the log posted, I'll just say that my Vineyards were worth 12 points each.

EDIT: Well, the images using the card image button aren't working for any card that has a space in its name... EDIT2: Apparently, capitalization matters, but only if the card has a space in its name. weird.

Wow, Donald X posted in a fan card thread and made a suggestion about a fan card. Truly such a thing is as rare as a good card.
