winner of contest 14: Aquila Jailer

perhaps you like to see your card in reality (only a try)

Ah nice, you found a good picture for it. That's what stopped me doing a mock-up. I do intend to put Jailer into one of my fan sets, but I think I'd like to do my own mock-up for it, make things in keeping with the others I've already done. Still, there is the hall of fame thread that once updated could have this card on it.
And how interested are you in accuracy? This should be an Action Attack Duration, and have +3 Cards, capitalised.

it was only a present for you. Accuracy is very important for me. I change it and will print it in a german version.

Well, here you see what the German translaters of Dominion have to deal with. Honestly though, translating Torturer to the German equivalent of Jailer because they wanted to be all nice and family friendly is something they brought onto themselves. I don't see why the English card should change because of this. There are so many languages out there, you can't really make sure none used something similar before. I think Gefängniswärter is perfectly fine.

ok - now it's difficult to find a nice picture, not too much fantasy but middle age.

And the winner is.........JAILER! By Aquila! This card is straightforward but opens up really interesting strategic play, using an attack that's a little bit different than anything else we have out there.
[...]

congratulation
It is difficult to translate Jailer into german, because there is already Kerkermeister (Torturer) and Gefängniswärter is too boring and Scharfrichter with terrible history.

perhaps VOGT ? which sounds similar in different languages. In english there is no parallel, perhaps BAILIFF?

See "Secret History" of Bandit Camp. Gaining Treasures is not so good, even if you gain into your hand.

i have read it, but you can draw potions too (to your hand!). So i hink this is a good idea.

If you have Market Town, you already have a Potion. The instances where you'd want a second are very limited.

If you have only one potion and your deck is growing you need more potions. Remember that Donald recommend three Alchemy-cards in Dominion with Alchemy. So it's sometimes more useful to gain a potion. And there are still some more treasures up to 4.
And there are several cards to change potion into gold. I think, Donald secrets keep sometimes something secret

Variants and Fan Cards / Abandoned village

Yeah, this will just end up as an unfun arms race. At the very least, you shouldn't have an attack whose attack part so thoroughly cancels out its on-play part.

hm - yes that's a problem. The idea was to have an attack card with very low costs and it's a little bit better than a cantrip.
On the other side villagers and coffers are very powerful if you have other cards which add villagers or coffers to your mat. So you think there shouldn't be a bonus +1 villager for the player?
But if there are no other cards which adds villagers or coffers? To be sure, that there are + villagers- and + coffers-cards there should be one.

Have to think about it.

Yeah that was the best picture I could find. One clip art was good but it had the word clip art stretched across it and another one was a product. I don’t mess with those pictures. It’s just for the contest anyway.

I like the card very much; when the contest is over, i will post here a DOMINION-graphic-like version .

Discarding a card from your hand that might give you a victory token, is it worth the risk?

sorry, terrible name and terrible graphic. Isn't it possible to find a Dominion-like picture and name?

changed to Bewitched Town:

This is so, so much better than Familiar, for the same price. Workable concept for sure, but the balance needs to be fixed a lot.
[...]

Familiar spends Curses always when played, but Witched Town only when gained (mostly when bought; it is not an attack).
Putting trashed Curses to supply prevents a rush-strategy indeed . In most cases you can use only the vanillas.
The theme ALCHEMY is difficult to expand.
The sense of Witched Town is to buy other poison cards. So it is attractive by itself and eventually other cards from ALCHEMY. You only need one Poison to start with.

I definitely misread that, and didn't realize it was on gain. That definitely makes it better, although a rush strategy would still be possible if there are no trashing cards on the board.

yes and then there is a trick too: Bewitched Town is a good card for rush-strategy then too,  because ...

"Witched" isn't really a word - we would say "Bewitched".

Sorry we keep picking you up on these - I apologise for the weirdness of our language.

many thanks for that

Damn Town

I think you might mean "Dam town"?

I am not a native speaker (german) but i looked here:
https://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/damn

„damn” seems to be right for me but if it isn't common english i can use f.i. „cursed”.

Ah, you probably meant "Damned Town", like "Cursed Town". Damned is the adjectival form of damn. Damn is often times considered profanity within the English language. I highly doubt "damn" or "damned" would make it onto any official dominion card at any point.

ah - ok; would be „cursed town” right?
