Apparently Viking King wasn't showing up. Now it is.

I guess I didn't quite understand the challenge till now. So the tokens need to be spent for something? Not just cards that use a new type of token?

I also tested Fairy Grove recently, and the top part worked wonderfully, but only one player got it, so I didn't really test the bottom part.

It would be nice if you would put all your cards in the opening post, so they're all in one place.

Is Heiress new or has it been there for a while? It's nice that it doesn't leave any room for confusion like Heir does, but obviously doing the same thing for Heir wouldn't make it work. Also, I just saw Slumlord now, and man do I like that card!

« on: October 22, 2018, 08:38:10 am »But for Example 2 you could read it as you increased your total to $6, which is $4 or more, so +1 card.I really like your wording, but the way I have it currently should in fact work since it is referencing any changes the last card played did to your total coin and not what your current total coin is.
Example play 1: You have $3. You play a Copper. It increased your total to $4 or more, so you draw a card.
Example play 2: You have $5. You play a Copper. It did not increase your total to $4 or more, because you already had $4 or more even before playing it, so you do not draw a card.
Example play 2 does not work the way you want it to, as worded, since you cannot change your total $ to something it already is.

Is it okay to use a modification of someone else's mechanic? Like can I use a variation on Gazbag's Freeze/Ice token mechanic?

On an unrelated note, Deposit, Scientist, and Night Market all tested well in recent games. Loot seemed a bit too strong. I will probably change that one a little bit.

Yeah, I kind of forgot to fix Viking King. I had had a couple of different ideas, and this version is a conglomerate of different ones that I forgot to finish up. Still trying to figure out what I'm doing with it.
I may buff Captive a bit, don't know.
I'll change the wording suggestions, thanks. And yes, Convert could play +3 cards, +1 Action, or something like that. Should that wording be changed?

« on: October 20, 2018, 08:22:13 am »Differently named card, thanks.
First Submission:
$6* Lost Temple
Action-Doom
+2 Cards
+2 Actions
While this is in the Supply, once per turn during your buy phase you may
receive the next Hex. If you do, +1 Buy and this costs $3 less.
"+2 Cards, +1 Action, and +$1" I think is priced around $7.5, so giving this a base price of $6 with the added amount per duplicate you have in play seems about right. Also, given that this card rewards diversity it will keep players who try and spam these in line a bit.
Might be best to keep the price changes restricted to your Buy phase. Otherwise, it might be a nightmare to resolve trash for benefit cards during your Action phase. Not impossible though.
Nice, clean submission! Thanks for sharing this one!
Thanks, fixed. My wording seemed a bit short.
Do you want it per card or per differently named card?

Well, I'll figure out what to do with Galleon, but I used Pirate Cove (sort of) in my Traveller line. Here it makes sense thematically even more; when you're getting trained, and get anything good, the older warriors take it from you (if it's that kind of army, which this is).

« on: October 18, 2018, 07:35:05 am »But what if Ferry is in the kingdom?This variable cost doesn't work. Gaining the card happens after you buy it, so you can't buy it for $2 in the first two turns, and after it's in your deck, there's no record of when you bought it (no way to tell apart a Lumber Camp you bought turn 1 from a Lumber Camp you bought turn 6).
This should address both of the issues you brought up. Thanks for the heads up. Not sure I really like this card, so I may scrap it or toy with it more in the next few days.

Also, you have a bunch of cards that give a coin token or an action token. I assume that action tokens=Villagers? You could update your cards with coffers and villagers. And Spectre says resolves the next Hex, instead ofrReceives the next hex.

The 'or a' between non-Duration and non-Reserve makes both phrases meaningless. Just 'plays a non-Duration non-Reserve Action card' would work. Also, Reserve and Duration should be capitalized in the bottom, but I'm not sure you need that. Just because there might not be cards with those types doesn't mean there needs to be. Also, if you do keep it, you would only need the Reserve part because Hibernating Bear is already a Duration card.

« on: October 17, 2018, 10:56:25 pm »Okay then but saying non-duration changes the card to the exact opposite. I don’t want this attack card to affect duration and reserves. Saying non means it doesn’t affect normal actions, which is what I don’t want.I mean, 'Until your next turn, the first time each other player plays a non-Duration non-Reserve Action card, they get +1 Card, +1 Action instead of following its instructions, then discards a card.'

« on: October 17, 2018, 10:24:56 pm »Some wording fixes: Capitalize Duration and Reserve, and say non-Duration non-Reserve card. Hope I don't come off as critical; just trying to make the cards seem more professional.
How’s this?

Just reread Owl, and I think it's wording needs updated. First of all, +1 Coffers. And do you take a coin token when you don't receive a hex, or when you don't gain an owl?

« on: October 17, 2018, 07:28:31 pm »Simple solution:
In games using this and Possession, burn all copies of Possession.
Edit: In case the word All is ambiguous, I mean ALL.
Even copies a friend down the street might have? Best to be safe I think.

« on: October 17, 2018, 06:56:16 pm »CHALLENGE #4 - VARIABLE COST CARDVery interesting. I think the 4* one is better. Also, costs.
Not sure what Cost display more successfully shows that there are two different cost to this card. The first certainly works, but having the visual cue of both cost seems neat. The card instructions are the same.

Here's a challenge I don't expect to have fulfilled soon: Make Traveller line that uses at least 10 (Or any other arbitrary number) of the various themes introduced so far. Examples include:
Duration
Choose one
Reserve
Overpay/When gain
Night
Boon/Hex
Coffers
Villagers
Artifacts/States
Looters
VP Tokens
Debt
Duration
Choose one
Reserve
Overpay/When gain

Maybe make other players discard a card to gain a Spoils, but then Galleon's attack can be pointless. I could do something like this for Galleon's attack:
Each other player trashes a Treasure from their hand costing $2 - $5, or reveals they can't.
