Dominion: Dark Ages Previews / Re: Dark Ages Preview #3: Squire, Hermit, Madman
« on: August 08, 2012, 09:56:06 am »Herbalista strategy to save up madmen and not using them, then use it for one super big turn might be good. with lots of +buy ofc.Now if only we had a cheap card that can give both money and buys...
for each Madman played in one turn,
handsize: 5 -> 8 -> 14 -> 26
worth only if there are much money in deck, xD

« on: August 07, 2012, 09:53:19 am »Ruined Chancellor: You may put your hand into the discard pile.What could the weird one be?
Ruined Monument - +.1 VP
Ruined Gardens - Worth one VP for every 30 cards in your deck.
Ruined Golem - Play one action from your deck
Ruined Library - Draw up to five cards in hand
Ruined Militia - Opponent discards down to five cards in hand
Ruined Pawn - Choose 1: +1 Buy
Ruined Island - 1 VP. You may set this aside with another card, but they will NOT be returned to your deck at the end of the game.
This game deserves its own thread, with a prize for the right guess.

Cultist is also a mild counter against trashing attacks. Also, now you can buy silver, put it top on your deck with watchtower, buy cultist, trash it with watchtower and draw the silver you just bought. Not useful at all though.

This isn't about strategy but is there any reason why does ISO let you rearrange cards before you draw them, if you chose not to discard?

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Powered-up Thief
« on: June 03, 2012, 02:12:55 pm »...In finnish version, this is actually what is written on the card. It's a minor error and in the rulebook Thief section is correct.
Adding "You may have them trash..." would make it slightly better, but probably still pretty weak.

Buy colony, gain mandarin with horn, rinse, repeat.Also, a nombo: Play 10 Contrabands, buy Mandarin from BM, draw 10 CBs and play them again, have >60$ and 21 buys but you can't buy anything.

« on: May 24, 2012, 03:36:39 am »
One Province left, you are down by 5 points. You have Watchtower and Harvest in hand and top 4 cards on your deck are: Copper, Village, Gold and Gold (you played Scout earlier). You gain a Silver and topdeck it with Watchtower, so you get 4$ from your harvest which is just enough to buy the last Province

Dominion General Discussion / Create a set of 10 kingdom cards based on movie/cartoon/show
« on: April 05, 2012, 12:15:02 pm »
I start with Pocahontas:
-Governor (Radcliffe)
-Native village (Obviously
-Workshop (I guess there's one in Jamestown)
-Woodcutter
-Haven (In London)
-Explorer (John Smith)
-Farmland (Indians' cornfields)
-Workers village (Jamestown)
-Rabble (People in Jamestown)
-Lookout
-Colonies/Plats.
Actually looks like a pretty balanced set: villages, drawers, trashers. Although, in this case it would make more sense that Explorer would give you a Platinum if you revealed a Colony.

Dominion Isotropic / Re: List of things that make playing on Isotropic different than real life
« on: April 02, 2012, 11:33:35 am »
Duration cards IRL: Sometimes I forget to keep them in play and sometimes I forget which ones I've played last turn and which ones on this turn.
Duration cards ISO: Sometimes I forget that I've played duration cards on my last turn. On my opponents turn my I check my next hand and think: "I'll play that Smithy and hope to get enough coins for good card". Then my turn comes and I click Smithy, before I realize that I drew a village from my Caravan.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Create a card inspired by another game
« on: March 12, 2012, 04:19:01 pm »StorytellerI don't even want to think how this would work with KC or Possession.
$4 Action
Each player sets aside his hand and plays a subgame of Dominion using his current deck that has half the number of cards in supply. Each winner of that subgame gains a Province, and each other player gains a Curse. Then each player returns the set aside cards to his hand.

There's also a Spy in Team Fortress and it corresponds better to Dominion than Scout does. It gives you information about enemy team and if you find a strong opponent (good card) you can eliminate him (discard). You can be found (moat or secret chamber) so you can't do much damage to enemy team.
Other things. Here in Finland there's a shop that sells orcanic products named Runsaudensarvi (Horn of Plenty) and a shop that sells home appliance named Musta Pörssi (Black Market).

What you think you've done: set up a great plan by embargoing curses several times and now gaining several silvers with traders in hand
What you've actually done: played you traders and now you're gaining several curses

Dominion General Discussion / Re: When not to discard with Baron?
« on: February 09, 2012, 07:43:41 am »
The usual scenario: You are down to 2 points, 3 estates left in the supply, 2 empty piles. You played fishing village in your last turn, have a hunting party, 2 curses,a baron and an estate in your hand. You want to play baron so that HP won't skip barons but don't want to discard the estate so that HP won't skip them (you have only barons and estates in your deck and discard). You play HP, draw xx and baron, play baron and discard an estate, and finally buy the last 2 estates.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Card Sleeves
« on: February 06, 2012, 06:09:15 pm »So now that I've gotten my Mayday Sleeves a quick review.
I sleeved Dominion, Intrigue and Hinterlands with them so about 1200 cards all up. I found 13 sleeves that either broke or were too small. For me a 1% failure rate is more than acceptable. The thing that I was most worried about was the feel of the sleeves and whether they would be weird to shuffle. But you get used to the feel of them pretty quickly and in fact I think they're easier to shuffle.
Thanks for the review. I've been planning to sleeve all my Dominion cards and been thinking if the non-premium sleeves are good enough. Premium sleeves would be better for sure, but it costs about 80€ to sleeve all my 2200 cards with them, so it's a bit expensive.
My original estates and coppers were getting a bit sticky from overuse and it was getting a pain to shuffle (especially in the early game) but now with the sleeves if anything they're too slippery and they shuffle quite nicely.
This is happening to me too, those same three estates keep coming in same hand, no matter how long I'm reshuffling
So for the peace of mind (especially around drinks and people who've had a few), increased lifespan of the cards and ease of shuffling I would definitely recommend them.
Thanks for that. I think I'm going to order "few" packs too, about 25-30€ for me. Wasn't there a discount if you ordered at least 25 packs of sleeves?

Card ($3) Reaction-Victory-Treasure
+1$
+Worth 1VP
Trash a card from your hand.
------------
If this card is trashed, you may reveal this. If you do, gain a Victory or a Treasure Card
costing up to 3 more than this.
This would be somehow useful in the games with no trashing. It could also be "..trashed or set aside," so it would work with few more cards.
