They transtlated landmarks as "Landmarken" though.

Sounds terrible, though I'm not sure how to translate it better. The best translation would be probably "Sehenswürdigkeit", but that is too long to fit.

Not too long as Geschichtenerzähler for sure.

I am a completely noob! Haddock explained me some things...
Could you please share with me what kind of power players can have?
I know only mods have that information but maybe you have an idea about Mafia games in general.

Some common ones...

Doctor - protect someone from a NK (Town Role)
Cop - Find out if someone is Mafia or not (Town Role)
RB - Block someone's action (Town or Scum Role)
Redirector - Redirect Action from A to B (Town or Scum Role)
Rolecop - find out what power someone has (Town or Scum Role)
Vigilante - Town who can kill someone at night (Town Role)
Bulletproof - passive power, survives one kill (Usually Town Role)
Commuter - can go away at night, isn't affected by anything (Usually Town Role)
Neighborizer - create a private chat with someone else (Town or Scum Role)
Godfather - Passive; if targeted by the Cop he gets an innocent result (Scum Role)

And then there are the two prominent 3d party roles who are neither Town nor Mafia, which are

Survivor - Wins if the is alive at the end of the game
SK - wins if everyone else is dead.

Beyond this, we shouldn't talk about roles yet. The setup is closed, we literally have no idea what is in this game

That will help!

First of all, good luck everybody!
I was surprised by how many votes I got already!
This Mafia game made me start watching Battlestar Galactica. At least I need to know what is a Colonist and a Cylon.

No, it will be somewhere between the most irrelevant thing ever and slightly relevant.

Nice to grab engine pieces and amazing when Boarder Village is on the board.

To get what, Gold? I'd rather have more engine pieces.

I think a treasure with just +$2, +1buy would already make an okay $5 cost. On a couple of boards with this as the only +buy, you will and up picking it, and I imagine it will be at least decent for terminal draw-BM.

If Gold is part of your payload, of course. And c'mon, Gold is a decent card!

Not sure how this ancient dodecahedron will work...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron

It is a treasure-gainer. Its comparison with Haggler is more appropriate.
The +$2 and +1Buy feels like a bonus when you do not reach the price point you want.
Nice to grab engine pieces and amazing when Boarder Village is on the board.
About Prince I am not sure. If you are buying Provinces you might not have time to Prince something, except if there is a really good target to be Princed.

« on: August 02, 2016, 11:43:34 am »
Villa is not a good card. It's on-gain ability is very strong, but it is a lame version of a Festival afterwards.

How many Villa games have you played? In what ways were you underwhelmed in those games?

It doesn't draw you anything when you play it. Think of all of the annoying times Festival wasn't fantastic in your hand because it didn't draw any cards or help cycle. Villa is a bad village with an amazing on-gain ability. People are going to overbuy this quite a bit at first.

It is a nice village because it will be very useful when you need it, especially helping with Action collisions.
It is a bad village because it does not draw. As you mentioned Festival, I took a look at Qvist rankings and Festival dropped from 21° in 2012 to 49° in 2015 (best $5 cards). Maybe people just realized that the lack of +1 Card is a big deal.

Game Reports / Re: Opponent saved by an outpost turn
« on: August 01, 2016, 11:05:34 am »
But that's the thing: A second Moneylender is pretty awful. That's two useless terminal cards once you clear out the coppers.

It's not AS bad in a Governor game since you can Remodel it on an opponent's turn into a Governor or Duchy or something. But it's much less defendable than, say, two Spice Merchant in a Governor game, which is actually a good idea.

Let's not be talking a bunch of edgecases. Second Moneylender here is bad, period. Mining Village is much better of a buy, both for surprise Remodels and burning on the last turn.

You might be right since I trashed the same number of coppers as my opponent, with an additional moneylender.

How you guys feel about Outpost? Is it worth the risk?

Game Reports / Re: Opponent saved by an outpost turn
« on: August 01, 2016, 09:27:38 am »
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I might not played this game optimally but I believe my chances of winning were better than for my opponent.

Your opponent wasn't particularly lucky. In one sense he was actually unlucky since all those good cards for his outpost turn were near the bottom of his deck after the last shuffle, so he needed two turns plus an outpost turn to eventually find them.
It is a way to see that.  :D

Here for example I'm not sure why you bought a second moneylender when there are reasonable alternatives and an opportunistic doctor could come later.
I do not believe a second Moneylender was that bad. But yeah Doctor can be a faster trasher at the beginning

You never found time to get a hamlet.
I do not see why Hamlet was any better than MV

Governors were split 5/5. My opponent buys a Outpost on his turn 10. My deck was thinner than his (I got two Moneylenders and remodeled silvers into MV/Governors) and his chances of stalling on a Outpost turn were pretty high. However, he gets a hand of 2xGovernors, Province and wins the game, grabbing the last Province (on his Outpost turn!!). Really lucky!

We learn how to better play Dominion by testing options. You optimize things but sometimes luck shows up.
The same happens when you collide your only two terminal actions and want to buy a Village. Maybe you do not need it!
We have to be tough to believe in probabilities and keep playing as turns like this does not happen often.

« on: July 25, 2016, 05:02:30 pm »
Interesting embargo-variant card. It will change openings because of the "setup" part.
Like embargo, sometimes it might hurt yourself more than your opponent.

Suppose you open 5/2 with sea hag on the board. Your opponent opens 3/4.
Buy Sea Hag on T1, pay 1 debt and Tax Sea Hag on T2.
Your opponent now have to spend $6 to buy that Hag!! (if he does not buy it on his T1)

I played one game of Tax, and there was no +Buy.  Under those conditions, the top part of the event wasn't very useful.  It was only bought a few times when people had really dud turns.  And it didn't actually do anything, because we often overdrew our money and could immediately payoff the debt.  I think Tax would be much more useful with +Buy.
I agree. However with +Buy it would be strong enough to cost $3 instead.

Temple

as is the temple marvelous
                                       from donald’s
hands which sent it forth
                               to trash upon the world

and the estate withers
            the copper crumbles
one by one
                                         trash flutters into the trash pile.


It is funny to see how people get bored by discussing cards that most of us haven't played yet  ;D

My position is: if somebody can't be bothered to take the time to write correctly, then I don't feel a pressing need to read the things they write. Eschewing capitalization and/or punctuation just automatically makes you seem less educated/intelligent.
And I also feel uncomfortable by reading schadd's posts.
