I don't like Gathering Cards much. Too much player interaction, and it makes me not want to even make these sorts of decisions.

Same problem as Trade Route or Forager.

I'm actually on my Chromebook right now. If all you really want is portable internet, its a good buy.

Using cost reduction, +1 action an +1 buy tokens on Ghost Ship, I got 5 colonies and 7 provinces over 2 turns. Does anyone else find the token-based events to be really game warping?

Hi, my name is forum mafia, and frankly it's a little bit strange for me to be introducing myself right now, because I've been a part of this forum for longer than most of the people reading this have probably been around. But I thought it was time for me to make my first post outside of my own subthread, because I am currently in serious risk of ceasing to exist. You see, while a dedicated core of players on this site still love me and play me on a regular basis, they've found that the games they want to play can't fill up right now because of a lack of enough new players to fill up the games.

So, I beg of you, if you have never heard of the forum games section, have a look. Here, there are several aspiring mafia games hoping to fill with players and become a reality. You, reader, may be my last hope of continued existence. Please, do not fail me now.

I might be interested if I could actually figure out how the game works.

Best way to learn is to play. It's really not that complicated. I mean the game itself can be stupendously complex, but the actual gameplay is very straightforward. Our community is pretty newb friendly in terms of walking people through and explaining lingo. Sign up today!

What is even the point of the game, though? I am pretty much totally in the dark about Mafia.

Dusk Village looks really cool. I always thought a cursing village would be cool, but would have the difficulty of being too easy to spam. I think this did a good job of nullifying that problem. Maybe limiting the text would be a good idea, though.

How to Annoy Your Friends in IRL Dominion

Sat through a million Cultist slogs? Heard one too many Scout jokes on f.ds? Can't stand McGarnacle's Dominion Musings? Well then this handy series of ideas on how to annoy your friends in IRL Dominion is for you!

1. Intentionally mispronounce certain card names repeatedly: I always say "Tactican" instead of "Tactician". Also, when I play Menageries, instead of saying "I play a Menagerie; no duplicates" I say "Menagerie, no duplicatos" because I think it sounds cool

2. Every time your opponent is frustrated they can't buy what they want, say things like "Man, wouldn't it be great if that Copper you just played was a Gold? Then you could have bought that Province."

3. Every time you play a deck-inspection attack, like Oracle or Spy, ask to see the top card of their deck, even if it is the same one you just revealed last time you played the attack.

4. Slowly play your treasures when you are going to buy something good, play all your action cards even when you can already buy what you want.

Stay tuned for more advice along the same line!

#328 - Mountebank



This is another card that I thought was middle of the road. My daughters didn't like the faces but that's about all I could get out of them about this card.

The colors on this card make me think 4th of July.

Come on, guys. If anybody is going to be doing writing, they must be prepared to set aside any personal ambitions. The writing should be for the betterment of Dominion. No strings attached, no rewards, no special Knights, nothing. I wouldn't even ask for a name in the credits. I only want the new app to be great, and I think I could help with that goal.

I think my name on a Knight would do much for the betterment of Dominion  :).

Seriously though, I think this is a good idea, I would love to help!

I would recommend having a story, though - it's nice to have something flavorful to tie together the games.  It's far more interesting to wonder if the Prince of Vaccara will find the thief who stole his poodle (or whatever, hopefully better story is come up with), rather than just playing Prosperity Game #13.
Well someone would need to write the stories. Not it.

I mean, I'd be willing to offer my services as a writer.  Only got two Kindle e-books on my resume, really, but just putting it out there.
Oooh I'm a writer too, I'd like to write the campaign stories. I usually write middle grade fantasy adventure.
It is not a paying gig, that was probably clear? Your name in lights and the satisfaction of a job well done are about the extent of it.

Maybe a card created with our name on it. Like more Knights?  ;)

I'm also up for writing a campaign.

As am I, if I haven't become unavailable when it needs to happen.

Same. I'm a good writer. Just read any of my posts  :).

If an Estate gives me one VP in a Curse makes me loose on VP, how would that work in real life? You would be touring your lands, and you think about stopping at your cozy estate next to the Farming Village with that pretty Caravan Guard, and when you get there, the estate has just plain disappeared. Plus the Caravan Guard ran off with that dashing Count.

Seems to me like if you left a Feast on the Native Village mat for too long, when you came back, all the villagers would be fatter and your feast would be gone.

I get how Remodeling a Counting House into a King's Court works, but how about Remodeling a Followers into a Necropolis? Or a Duchess into a Cutpurse? Dominion is actually really dark when you think of it like that. That should be a new thing with the mafia: "Hey, did you take care of Luciano? Yeah, we remodeled him real good."

What does the trash in Dominion really represent? Apparently a place were Upgraded Witches and Forged Villages hang out.

« on: August 04, 2016, 06:11:02 pm »
Are you actually going to play the game lots of times? I tend to find that I only get to play 1-2 times on trips for whatever reason. I'd just pick 20 cards at random and go with those.

I do plan on playing a lot, considering I'll have a few long flights and I'll be gone for about 3 weeks.
How do you play on the plane?

I have an open card box, so I just set up the supply plus the kingdom with dividers, kind of like in the actual game box IRL, only it takes up less space.

I don't have Alchemy, Intrigue or Empires. Btw, what about Knights? Seems like they would be interesting. I guess this is pretty much a "what are the cards in Dominion with the most replay value" thread

20Kingdom cards is rather limiting, what about not taking all the treasures with you? Easy space for three more Kingdom cards atleast. Or clothes? You could really skip on those two to get some more Dominion cards in.

I've already skipped clothes to bring all volumes of the Encyclopedia Britanica.

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.).
