Weekly Design Contest / Re: Weekly Design Contest #141: Seaside Revisited
« on: January 29, 2022, 12:21:37 am »


The second card I've made with this name because I'm original. Replaces Explorer and takes a bit of Tactician's discard-for-later-benefit with it.

Maybe I'm looking at this wrong, but this looks like a tough sell compared to Secret Cave...

I don't quite agree, as gaining Gold to hand >>>>> +. However, I certainly agree that it isn't worth .

I assume our entries should also fit in with Seaside thematically, not just mechanically?

Quote from: Cargo Ship

Cargo Ship
Action
Cost: $5

Choose Three:
Gain a card costing up to 2; +1 Card; +$1.
The choices may be the same.

Cargo Ship is a Smithy variant with significant piling power, money generation, and flexibility. It can be used in nearly all decks, and provides a good reason to hit 5 early. There are synergies with Capitalism, remodelers, and rush strategies.

Feedback is appreciated.

1. You're missing the symbol for the gain choice; "gain a card costing up to 2" doesn't make sense, but "gain a card costing up to " does.
2. The name Cargo Ship is already taken by an official card.

Am I misunderstanding something, because why would you ever choose anything besides +1 Action, +1 Buy, and +? Besides edge cases like Village Green.

I was trying to find out how to host images without Imgur and apparently you can host the images on Google Drive, with some effort. It's not very easy to figure out how to size the images and all of that. The suggestion to see what other people did by quoting them helped a lot.

Anyway, I wanted to try making a pseudo-traveler line, except it works in a chain of playing. It appears that this is a really interesting mechanic. It looks different. I know the text does not fit the theme for Farm well, but I don't know what else to put there.

Feedback is welcome and appreciated. I will be changing these sometime next week, for power level and other reasons, but I don't have time now.

I'm not seeing any images.

I think this needs to be a Reaction and say "...play this from your hand." See Sheepdog and Falconer.

Not sure whether it should cost 3 or 4.

I'd suggest using a different color for this. Using the same color as Actions makes it liable to be misread, since people expect colors to indicate the type(s) a card has. When I first saw this, I was like "wait, Actions don't qualify, why submit this?"

cards like Courtier aren't expecting zero types.

Why couldn't Courtier work with a card with zero types? If I discard no Victory cards with Shepherd, I get +0 Cards. Why would choose zero lead to undefined behavior?

25-Hour Notice

I'm not sure whether this is an oddly-specific amount of time for a warning or a typo.

Question: Are States inherently limited to one per player at any given time?  E.g., if there's a card that says "Take [X] state", would it automatically fail if you already have the State, or could you take a 2nd copy of that State, assuming there's one available?

unclear. We've only got a couple states as-is, so canonwise there's not a ton to go off of. I think for simplicity's sake, having a default rule be "you can't stack multiple of the same state" is fine.

I'll point out that of the official states, you can only get Deluded/Envious "if you don't have Deluded or Envious.'

And the other two States also have something explicitly preventing you from taking multiple copies; Lost in the Woods is only taken if you aren't already the player with it, and even if Fool didn't have that wording, there's only one copy of it; and the Miserable/Twice Miserable state is only taken if you haven't already been affected by Misery.

I feel like Ball Game is a good candidate for the first multi-type landscape as a Law - Event, given that it's the only Law that can be purchased. I think multi-type laws in general could be interesting design space, for a sort of sequel, though I don't know how one would implement the existence of multiple law decks from different expansions.

The problem with multi-type landscapes is that the space landscapes have for types is so small that just two types makes the text really tiny.

Is there a reason Totem doesn't have the Attack type?  Making it so that each other player has to pay $2 to enact a Law seems like an attack to me

Also, you said you can only have one Law at a time and that if you take a second Law you must discard one. So, am I understanding correctly then that when you play Totem and you have a Law, you would have to discard one of the two, then optionally play the one you're left with?

I asked him on Discord and he said he doesn't want Totem to be Moatable (I still think it should be an Attack, ftr). And your understanding (last sentence) is correct.

Equine Village
$4
Action
+1 Card and +1 Action.
Choose one: return this to the Supply for +2 Cards; or +1 Action.

I would reverse the order of those two options. First time I read it, I thought you also had to return it to the Supply for +1 Action.

Or even just "you may return this to the Supply for +2 Cards. If you don't, +1 Action."

Lab is significantly better than Scheme, so Toy Train should probably provide a Horse.

Did you miss that you also get the +1 Card? It's Scheme + Lab for you, not just Scheme.

I think that card wordings should be simple and reflect how you actually play (I never considered the blue dog issue you referred to to be an actual issue). Nobody puts the card in their discard pile and the moves it onto their Exile mat, they directly put it there. So „Exile instead“ makes more sense than „ gain and then Exile“.

But it is a trivial difference as you rarely want the junk to be able to leave the Exile mat (what your „gain and Exile“ Version enables you to do). This brings us back to my initial point: with your version most folks would not even be aware that you could discard stuff from Exile because they would intuitively read the card, no matter how it is worded as „ah OK, I can directly put it on the mat“.

What matters is that the wording should be clearer because currently you can easily misread the card, as arowdok did, as „gain and Exile another copy from the Supply“.

Border Wall uses the same wording as Gatekeeper. And I haven't seen people get confused about Gatekeeper or complain about its wording.

Also, with your logic, Watchtower should say "to instead either trash that card or put it onto your deck" and Replace should say "if you would've gained an Action or Treasure, instead put it onto your deck."

You might wanna word it as something like "Exile it instead".

Replacing the gaining instead of adding something to it opens up a new can of worms. Trader was changed to avoid that for a reason.

$0 - Project
At the start of your turn, if you have at least 5 cards in hand, +2 Cards then discard four cards.
If at least 3 of the cards you discarded were either Actions or Gold, +1 VP.

I took this as a challenge to make a $0 cost Project.
A self-Margraver could be useful sometimes. Added the VP for a little incentive (or temptation) if you aren't sure.

Only the topmost discarded card is visible to your opponents, so this needs to say "discard four cards, revealed." See Silos and Shepherd.

Stonemason should be considered a Remodeler if Altar is imo.

Stonemason is borderline for me.  I figured I would allow it since it can increase your deck size unlike Altar (barring games with Fortress).

Would Develop qualify for the same reason, then?

Congratulations, Timinou!

Bummer that I didn't win, but I made Black Knight mostly for the "Night - Knight" meme, so I didn't set my hopes too high. :)
