Variants and Fan Cards / Is there a thread were you can find all Dominion Fan Cards?

« on: September 08, 2016, 08:41:57 am »

Is there a thread were you can find all Dominion fan cards? You can find all the real Dominion cards in quite a few places. With so many cool ideas, it seems like there should be.

Variants and Fan Cards / Surveyor

« on: August 28, 2016, 09:49:07 pm »

This is an idea for a fan card I came up with. I'm worried it might be too strong for $4 though, because of how well it pairs with Tournament, Crossroads and others. What do you guys think?

Surveyor-$4-Action
+1 Action
Reveal the top 4 cards of your deck. Put the revealed Victory cards into your hand. Put the other cards on top of your deck in any order.

Dominion General Discussion / How good is Alchemy?

« on: August 17, 2016, 04:24:46 am »

So I have all Dominion expansions IRL but Intrigue, Alchemy and Empires. I was planning on getting Alchemy next, but the people I play with don't think they will like it. So how good is Alchemy? Is it worth getting before Intrigue and Empires, after, or not at all?

Dominion General Discussion / 20 best kingdom cards

« on: August 04, 2016, 01:14:43 pm »

I'm going on a trip soon, and I'm going to bring some Dominion cards in a custom case. I've calculated I have space for about 20 kingdom cards. Since I will be playing exclusively with these, I'm wondering what everyone thinks is a good choice of cards that provides with an interesting spread of possibilities. I will most likely take a few of each card type (village, draw, trasher, attack, etc.).

Dominion General Discussion / McGarnacle's Dominion Musings

« on: August 04, 2016, 11:16:39 am »

I'm creating this thread so we (but mostly I

) can talk about random theoretical Dominion ideas and observations. So gather around children, and hearken to my words of wisdom:

Band of Misfits is like Young Witch because its effectiveness is based heavily on the other cards in the kingdom. Band of Misfits is also like Count because they are both from Dark Ages, and both are versatile. Thematically, if the Young Witch and the Count had kids, they would be a Band of Misfits, because the Count would most likely disown them, instead of recognizing them as heirs.

Profound, right?

Dominion General Discussion / Let's discuss Guilds Cards: Journeyman

« on: August 02, 2016, 08:02:44 pm »

1. How good is Journeyman?
2. What are good combos?
3. When is it a good choice to go for Journeyman.
4. Why do the two people in the image have such cool hats?

Dominion General Discussion / McGarnacle's Kingdom of the Week #2 Margrave's Tournament

« on: July 26, 2016, 02:04:32 pm »

Okay, so I will hopefully be able to make this a weekly series of posted kingdoms which we can discuss. I've personally created all of them, but there is always something new to find each time I play, so I thought I'd post this here.

Margrave's Tournament
Crossroads, Fool's Gold, Menagerie, Farming Village, Remake, Tournament, Silk Road, Hunting Party, Jester, Margrave.

What appears to be the optimal strategy?
How could I improve this kingdom?
Any redundant cards or something I should add?

Dominion General Discussion / McGarnacle's Kingdom of the Week #1 Cities and Knights

« on: June 27, 2016, 09:56:59 am »

Hello everyone, this is the start of a weekly series were I will show kingdoms I have created and we can discuss them. (Plus hopefully some of you will enjoy playing them). One of my favorite parts of Dominion is creating kingdoms with multiple, sometimes subtle, strategies. So without further ado, here is the first kingdom.

Cities and Knights

Advisor
City
Cultist
Fairgrounds
Inn
Jester
Knights
Magpie
Menagerie
Stonemason

1. What do you think are the main strategies to win. Which is the best?
2. Any redundant cards, traps, or ways to make the kingdom better?

I have created this kingdom and played it IRL probably 20 times, but I'm sure you guys will be able to find something new which I didn't notice.

Dominion General Discussion / Thematic Kingdom Design Contest

« on: May 27, 2016, 01:23:48 pm »

Inspired by Ackmodual, I've decided to create a Thematic Kingdom Design Contest. Please submit a kingdom and a name for the kingdom by June 27 by posting it here, at which point we will vote for the best. The prize will be +50 respect (lame, I know).

Once the voting will begin, the kingdoms will be evaluated not only on theme, but also on playability, though theme will be the most important. Users will be able to vote after (hopefully) playing all the kingdoms and then deciding which one they like the most.

What does everyone think about FNAF? I myself am a huge fan. Maybe somewhere down the road we will get a FNAF-themed Dominion Expansion

Let's Discuss ... / let's discuss Cornucopia cards: Jester

« on: May 03, 2016, 02:47:16 pm »

*No, there is no play on the card name or picture here*

How does this compare to other attacks?

When do you go for Jester?

What is the Jester saying?

Puzzles and Challenges / Max VP tokens from Goons.

« on: May 03, 2016, 10:12:40 am »

What is the maximum number of VP tokens you get get from Goons in 1 turn? There are 10 cards in the kingdom, no Travelling Fair. Assume you can have any cards in your hand, in play or in your deck or the supply.

The most I got was 1500, though I think it should be easy to get even more. I will pay anyone who can get more liberally in respect.

Dominion FAQ / How to chat in Dominion Online?

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to chat in Dominion Online. I am not a computer idiot either. Could some one please help me?

Dominion General Discussion / How to play randomized kingdoms?

« on: May 01, 2016, 08:19:45 am »

Recently I've been loosing almost every game I play with randomized kingdoms on Dominion Online. If I have played with the card combinations before (in other words, if I already know the kingdom) I win almost every time. What are some suggestions for making a kingdoms analysis and choose what to gain? By the time I do see the right strategy, it is usually to late.

Dominion General Discussion / Fools Gold/X Combos

« on: April 30, 2016, 09:52:03 am »

Just wondering which of these people thought was the best combo with stables, and which was the best with FG.

Margave/Fool's Gold

Ill Gotten Gains/Stables

Treasure Trove/Stables

Journeyman/Fool's Gold

Dominion General Discussion / Combo: Merchant Guild/Goons

« on: April 18, 2016, 02:01:17 pm »

Say you have a deck of mostly Goons and Worker's Villages. Is it worth adding Merchant Guilds, so that "free" copper buys give you not only VP, but also lots of coin tokens?

I think it would be useful in a mirror game where you opponent is getting more VP from his Goons then you are. With the Merchant Guild, you can quickly amass lots of coin tokens, and spend them all in one turn, either three piling or buying out the Provinces or Colonies before your opponent can build up a huge VP token advantage.

Dominion General Discussion / What does everyone think Dominion would look like without curses and cursers?

« on: April 14, 2016, 07:28:58 pm »

Just curious what everyone thought Dominion would look like without curses and cursers. How would strategies change, and what cards, others than cursers, would look different?

Dominion General Discussion / Best Dominion Expansion Bracket

« on: April 12, 2016, 07:20:26 pm »

This is a new bracket for the best Dominion expansion. I seeded them based on my favorites. I've also added a poll, because I love polls. I will leave each bracket round open for 2 full days.

1. Cornucopia
12. Dominion

2. Dark Ages
11. Guilds

3. Prosperity
10. Intrigue

4. Seaside
9. Promo

5. Adventures
8. Alchemy

6. Hinterlands
7. Empires (I'm guessing it ranked here)

Dominion General Discussion / What does everyone think is the best village 2.0

« on: April 05, 2016, 09:26:20 am »

This is a redone version of my best village poll. Some errors were called to my attention, and I thought I should fix the poll. Probably most of you don't want to vote on the practically the same poll twice

, but some people wanted to change their votes, and others wanted me to add more pseudo and conditional villages. Now you can also change your vote, so if you want me to add a card, I can do that and you can change your vote and vote for it.

I did not add the Throne Room variants because I think they are quite different from villages. They just allow other cards to be played like villages.

Dominion General Discussion / What does everyone think is the best village?

« on: April 04, 2016, 07:41:03 pm »

Ah, Villages! Where would we be without you? Though they rarely form the linchpin of our decks, they are crucial to most engines. But which is the best?

Dominion General Discussion / What does everyone think is the best attack for $5?

« on: April 03, 2016, 03:49:34 pm »

Just was wondering what everybody thought was the best attack. I've heard lots of different opinions.
