Variants and Fan Cards / Re: If witch cost $6 would you buy it over gold?

« on: June 26, 2012, 09:33:25 pm »

On the topic of the Turn 4 Treasure Map hit...

T1/T2 - open Chancellor/Treasure Map
T3 - play Chancellor(flip it) + 2 Copper, buy Treasure Map
T4 - Treasure Maps activated, better defend yourself somehow if playing IRL

Incidentally, I believe using the undo button would have actually allowed you to pick up the GM in your scenario.

I feel like there's more to it than just watching piles, because the game as a whole just goes faster*. You don't have quite as much time to get a good engine firing.

edit: Also the way Attacks play is quite a bit different and more dependent on seating order.

*especially in 4p where there are only 3 Provinces per player instead of 4.

Game 1 (Turn order is michaeljb, CieloAzor, pkbrooklyn, and then farik.)
#1 CieloAzor: 24 points
#2 michaeljb: 20 points
#3 farik: 13 points
#4 pkbrooklyn: 8 points

Game 2 (Turn order is CieloAzor, pkbrooklyn, farik, and then michaeljb.)
#1 CieloAzor: 30 points
#2 michaeljb: 26 points
#3 pkbrooklyn: 21 points
#3 farik: 21 points

Game 3 (Turn order is pkbrooklyn, farik, michaeljb, and then CieloAzor.)
#1 farik: 33 points
#2 pkbrooklyn: 32 points
#3 CieloAzor: 25 points
#4 michaeljb: 8 points

Game 4 (Turn order is farik, michaeljb, CieloAzor, and then pkbrooklyn.)
#1 CieloAzor: 9 points
#2 pkbrooklyn: 8 points
#3 farik: 6 points
#3 michaeljb: 6 points

Congrats to CieloAzor, winning 3 of the 4 games! (and a third place finish in the other) pkbrooklyn, farik, and myself each said we had played mostly 2p only, and Cielo had about equal experience with multiplayer as 2p, and looks like it came in handy. Well played everyone, it was a fun match even though I would have fared better in 2p

Just tell yourself your Tunnels are basically Dwarrowdelf, that'll impress the competing monarchs.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: What card is worst for you?

« on: June 18, 2012, 01:13:10 am »

It's a decent opener, it's good with alt VP, it's an excellent buy with trader or watchtower in hand, and that's about it off the top of my head. It's not really one of the big power 5's, but in a BM type game the 2 Coppers aren't too damaging.

michaeljb upvoted this post.  Is this a message from beyond the grave?  Is he telling us that O truly is a mafia member?  Or maybe he is expressing satisfaction that we avenged his death at Volt's hand?  Or maybe he is simply a big fan of the dread pirate Roberts.  We may never know.

A little bit of expressing satisfaction, mostly being a fan of the dread pirate :-D

Goko Dominion Online / Re: Playdominion.com/base exists now, sort of

« on: June 16, 2012, 12:16:05 pm »

Sounds like only people buying the physical sets will have access to them in the game.

If I understand you, then no, not so. It will be possible to have online Seaside without having real-life Seaside, etc.

Actually I was thinking this would only apply to Base Cards, Dark Ages, and Guilds, since the site mentions redeeming codes for them. Plus the extra card thing in the Base Cards set points the user to playdominion.com/base, which is where this message is. I figured this couldn't apply to the past sets since they were released before playdominion was developed and none of them had that extra card which seems to be connected somehow.

So if you don't buy the physical sets, and you don't need to in order to get these card codes, but Jay said that the card was hopefully useful for everyone, and it seems connected to the online version, what I'm now thinking is this: when playdominion.com goes live, it will have all the cards from Dominion through Dominion: Hinterlands, but a code will be needed to use Base Cards through Guilds, and this code will be available for purchase, or also included in the physical sets.

Is that anywhere close to accurate?

Goko Dominion Online / Playdominion.com/base exists now, sort of

« on: June 16, 2012, 01:14:58 am »

Playdominion.com/base now redirects to playdomion.com/offer, where it says this:

Sign up & we'll tell you when we launch & when you can redeem your Base Card, Dark Ages, & The Guild card codes.

Sounds like only people buying the physical sets will have access to them in the game. Guess that makes it a good thing this officially licensed version didn't come out sooner (not that it matters for players like me who buy all the cards anyway, but...)

And hey, the /img, /js and /css directories are forbidden from public viewing now.

GokoDom / Re: IsoDom 5: Round 1 Thread

He ignores Festival, which I think is a pretty big error with Vineyards in play, and I am able to end the game with the lead by buying two Warehouses on turn 12.

This was really a side effect of my opening Ironworks/Warehouse instead of Ironworks/Chancellor; I made a huge mistake by not building my economy--I never actually drew $5 
So yeah, that game I'd say was the one where it was most obvious that one of us had a superior strategy.

But yeah, a weird set of games, but they were quite fun

Game Reports / Re: Why Tournament should be hated...maybe

« on: June 14, 2012, 12:32:33 pm »

Yeah...I'm not even a little convinced that Toshimo's approach was good for getting to Provinces. Sure, Developing a $3 cost card into Tournament/Haven sounds nice for going for Prizes, but look at his (her?) turn 5--Developed an Estate into a Develop, and bought nothing instead of a Silver, another Develop he was so fond of, or even a Haven.

And by the time he actually got to buying a Province, on Turn 10, by first playing 5 Tournaments, you had already bought 5 Ill-Gotten Gains. Your deck was in much better shape, and you naturally can grab Provinces your next 2 turns, and end up blocking him once, then winning a Duchy.

I guess you had more luck in getting a Tournament to connect first, but you did have fewer cards in your deck, as well as more Provinces, plus the Tournament wasn't even hugely influential by the time you won your Duchy--IGG nullifies Followers, there's no engine for Princess or Diadem, so that leaves BoG and Trusty Steed, here I'd probably TS and tend to use it for flipping+Silvers.

But anyway, the real point I'm trying to make is that this game is not good as an example if someone wants to argue that Tournament is a low-skill high-luck card; knowing when a card is a good play is an important skill, and Tournament just wasn't that good for that board.

I think Goons would be good candidate; oftentimes Goons games come down to who can pull off a huge turn first, and first player has the advantage there.
