Here's a version of recruiter. I got rid of the dividing line, dropped card from curse card, modified the +$1 benefit, and moved the +action to both choices.

I just used ferry to prince maragrave and mountebank. Good times. I made my sister resolve the maragrave first so she ended up with a lot of 2 card hands.

I fixed amulet. Sorry, it's sideways, fix that later. I renamed it heirloom to comply with adventures. I can change it back to amulet if people would prefer that.


I like it. Now we need soothsayer renamed. I suggest Clairvoyant.
I called mine seer.

Sorry for the low quality, I'm not that good.   :P

It's Harbinger, not Harbringer.
Oops.

Is my Crystal Ball art so bad? :P
It's just my preference. Part of it is the text is too bold, I'll fix that as well.

So now I'll have to reprint so many fan cards with different names and art. Battlefield, fountain, tomb, castle, keep, farmer's market, and maybe even more. I'd be willing to post new versions if people wanted them.

yes please post your new mock-ups in the variants forum.  I have much appreciated those you have redone in the past and will much appreciate new ones you post.  thanks  in advance :)
So here's my plan of cards to redo. N means new name, A means new art, C means different cost, and E means new effect.
Fountain A, N
Sanatarium, C
Elixir, C
Escalation, E, C
Production Village, E
Cloister, C, E
Royal Demense, E
Book of Spells, E
Enchantment, C, E
Battle Strategy, E
Bartender, E
Cabal, E
Castle, N, A
Tomb, N
Forum, E
Crystal Ball, A

Sorry I can't do more, mobile post. :P

Edit: Finished some.

Dignitary + Fortress + Tomb = ∞ VP, in a small enough deck.

It doesn't work without some additional tweaking, but maybe you can use the "react by playing" that was used by Caravan Guard to get around that.

Like it is kind of close if the reaction said "You can reveal this to, trash a card from your hand, and then play this. (It's way worse because of the putting cards back thing, but maybe the play effect can be adjusted to make the reaction work like it does now.)

Would "put this in play to trash a card from your hand and then draw to 5" work?
It's very gimmicky, so I'm not sure it is the right solution.

I would like to avoid "Put this into play" if possible, since it just makes you ask, "So do I play it or what?"
You could just set Dignitary aside until the start of your next turn.

"When another player plays an attack, you may set this aside. If you did, draw a card and trash a card from your hand. At the start of your next turn, discard this"

Or something along those lines.

But how about the new attacks, Catapult and Enchantress? How do you think they will measure up? Discuss.
They both seem top-tier stuff. Catapulting a rocks is very mean. And enchantress, oh man that will really make some people mad. Just imagine playing your tournament to get followers only to receive a cantrip. Or not being able to prince that militia, or not being able to to put teacher on the tavern mat, the list goes on.

Jester is so much fun. Everything about the card is amazing. It's the closest thing to a perfect card in Dominion. Next game I will start both players with 10 Jesters, and we will play from there  :).

Okay, I'll stop gushing about Jester now.
You'll need to buy a lot of Cornucopia sets for that...

Or just use Scout twice, since no one buys it anyway.

Scout is the perfect bane for YW! Even that card can have it's appeal. Or maybe you just want to be Young Witched?

Bane is a 2 or 3 cost, scout costs 4
Just put your ferry token on it before the game starts.

Other Games / Time Barons
« on: May 23, 2016, 06:39:08 pm »
I recently discovered and purchased a new game called Time Barons. (http://www.time-barons.com/) It's a great game and it only takes about 15-20 minutes. I got it a week ago and it's already seen about 15 plays.

I highly suggest you take a look at this game. Here's a quick rundown on the pros and cons:

+Very fast play
+Simple rules
+The co-designer John Perry is active on BGG and will quickly respond to your comments
+It's only $20 for the full game, and shipping is about $4. I'd suggest getting the cards only which is the low, low price of $10
-Only 2 players. If you want to play with 4 you'll need an extra set.
-The art is a little cartoony. I personally love it but it might annoy some people.

I don't buy jester for the attack either(I buy it to gain good cards)
When it discards Goons from the top of your deck sure you get a goons, but it just prevented you from playing one of your good cards during this shuffle. That could be a sizeable attack if it's the only goons in your deck. Sure, that won't always happen, but 9 times out of 10 it will either discard a good card or junk with a bad one.
Sea Hag.

But to be honest, I think you are missing the point. You claimed that jester was somehow more favoritism-inducing than goons as an attack because the isolated attack from goons is not that interesting. I claim that jester is the same way, and so when you say that goons votes are only for the non-attack and this somehow gives jester some higher ground, you are mistaken. I couldn't care less why I vote for goons, but this as a reason to vote against it is poor.
I guess I get your point. I sill think goons isn't that good of an attack card, it's more of an alt-VP card. But I can see reasons why you would vote it over jester.

You guys are voting for goons because it's an alt-vp card, not because it attacks. Goons doesn't deserve to win, most of the time the attack is the icing on the cake and it's the VP's your after. It does all the end-of turn-stuff? If it's the last turn the attack means nothing.* Jester's central focus is an attack. And it can get you goons.

That sounds kind of like a gainer to me. The potential for attack is variable and only sometimes hits. So jester is just a gainer which sometimes happens to attack when it doesn't do it's real job (edge cases with guaranteed cursing accepted, and as an added bonus, I don't really care). Goons is alt-vp which always attacks. Hmmmm.

Goons

*Edge Case: Opponent discarding tunnels to power up his gardens. Or a setup for the pin where you trash his hand of VP cards.

Goons!
BOOOOOOOOOO!

The bandwagon effect isn't working, time to switch to plan B.

On a more serious note, Goons is boring because it's and OP card with a random attack stuck on. IMO the attack should have been dropped to add an extra buy and coins.

For me, the wording on Redistrict was a little unclear. I played is as a one-shot expand instead of a one-shot remodel. Perhaps:

Choose a card from your hand and trash it. You may gain a card costing $2 more than the trashed card. If you did, trash this. Otherwise, gain a card costing $1 more then the trashed card.

Thank you so much for your support. I will try to get a better wording. I will re-upload the new cards then. Perhaps you will understand it better then :> I created about 20 Dragoncards and about 70 other cards - this should be only the first view.
Other than wording issues, sub-type issues, color issues, etc. the cards look AMAZING! Look forward too seeing what else comes up.

Oh, and the color you used is already used for reserves. A specific color might look cool, but it's not needed and can promote confusion. Knights/Castles both use a regular white template instead of a fancy color.

On a random note, I just purchased Tabletop simulator, and I think I correctly uploaded the seasons file that CL posted earlier in the thread, but I don't know how to access it in an actual Dominion app to play with in Tabletop Sim.  How do I find it in the game?  I know you've worked with it before Asper, so I'm hoping you will be able to help me with my query.  Thanks :)
I was going to get TS but I'm waiting till it goes on sale. I'd love to play with you when I get it!

Uh oh, what happened to all the cards?
Yeah, most of the cards say "The image you requested is no longer available. Imgur"

Sorry, guys. I made a mistake awhile ago and deleted all the images. I've been meaning to put them back up but haven't remembered when I was in front of the right computer. I haven't been actively working on cards recently, so it's been easy to forget. I'll try to remember to re-upload them tonight.


Thanks :)  It looks like Gambler has the most playtesting so far :)  It seems like a really fun card!

Well a lot of people like it, but it's a bit random for some tastes.

Whenever I change a card slightly, I reduce the number of stars it has without resetting it to zero. Fund for instance used to have 5 stars of testing, but I recently moved the +1 Buy outside the one-shot effect, and haven't yet tested the new version. So really Gambler is the card that's changed the least recently.

For what it's worth, your newer version of Fund looks like it will be more fun and bought more often.  Sometimes you just get a sense about a card even without playtesting that you can feel quite confident about.
I played with the newer version and it seemed fine. You don't always use it but it's nice having it there.
