It is also a supply pile that could run out in most games. That could change strategy too.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Dominion: Roots and Renewal
« on: March 26, 2016, 09:39:00 am »
I play-tested 3 of these cards recently. All were an enjoyable addition to the game. Specifically:
Orphanage
I own Prosperity so always am excited by cards that use the VP tokens. I bought this with my first $3 to get the Silver on top of deck. Kingdom included Chapel so I managed to get 11 vp from this. I still lost the game by 6vp to my wife who skipped this so I think concerns about this being too automatic may be unwarranted.
Deposit
Fun card. Made for fast game due to quick Copper clearing. Might need to cost $4. With village/throne room, very likely to play Gold for $6.
Realm Tax
We put this in a kingdom with Market and Peddler to let it shine. I love the tension the card creates between buying it for cheap when it's not worth much to you and waiting until you can play at least 4 Action cards in a turn at which point it is more expensive to buy but more useful to you.
Thanks again for your creativity!

Juggler (Action) $3
+1 Action
+$1
Look at the top 3 cards of your deck. Discard any number of them. Put the rest back on top in any order.
Cartographer and Lookout got married and adopted a son, Juggler. This card lies well within the play-space of published Dominion cards. I like the thematic action of juggling 3 cards plus getting a copper thrown his way for the entertaining act. I have play-tested the card, and it seems fine. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

« on: September 09, 2014, 03:12:34 pm »Is other players gaining an Estate supposed to be contingent on you trashing the Treaty? The way it's worded, it always hands out Victory cards to your opponents.
Yes, the other players gaining Estates was supposed to be contingent on the trashing. Poor wording on my part

I have been doing some playtesting with this idea. The original version caused too much delay while you searched through your deck and discard pile looking for that one Attack card. I decided to try a discard attack that only hits other Attack cards with the following wording. This was better but could still stand improvement.
+$2
Each other player discards an Attack card from their hand or reveals a hand with no attack cards.
You may trash this card. If you do, gain a Victory card costing up to $6. Each other player gains a Victory card costing up to $3.
$4 Action - Attack
It was still kind of weak as an attack. I actually bought it most often to trash for 6 VP Fairgrounds. My wife wants to give it +1 Action and drop the trashing part. Instead I'm thinking of dropping the cost to $3, making you choose between the attack and trashing, and changing the trashing to just gain a Victory card costing up to $5 without giving other players anything.
Any thoughts from the group?

One way to get around having to keep track of turns would be to only put out 2 Swamp cards per player. It would get more tempting as the game went on.

Variants and Fan Cards / Card Idea: Treaty
« on: August 23, 2014, 08:55:18 am »
Treaty
Each Player (including you) reveals cards from their deck until revealing an Attack card. Trash the revealed Attack card and discard the other revealed cards. If you trash a card this way gain a Gold or Duchy. Each other player who trashes a card this way gains a Silver or Estate, their choice.
Cost $5 Action - Attack
I was trying to come up with a way to slow down someone who is pummeling you with Attacks. It benefits your economy in the early game and could turn your Attack cards into net 2 VP late in the game.
A major drawback is if you have no Attack card in deck or discard, it's Chancellor without the +$2. Maybe needs to cost less?
What else could improve this concept?
