So, having played very little Dark Ages due to no more Iso... how do you play Rebuild anyway? Is it just: (Assuming 3/4) Open Silver/Silver equivalent; buy Rebuild with your first few $5s (how many?) then buy Duchies with $5; buy Silver or equivalent with < $5? Do you want to turn Estates into Duchies or Duchies into Provinces first?
I'm one of those people that almost never takes Diadem. But it got me the win here: http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20131127/log.505e9c9c0cf2ef979299a7c0.1385608766347.txt
I thought this was a pretty interesting board, I'm not sure how well I played it. But I made some good Inn buys and that makes me happy, and winning when your opponent gets Followers T9 is always a treat.
(Also: thanks for the game, Polk)
So what happens if you play a Poor House and have a Goko in hand.Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Swindler
You trash Isotropic
You gain Goko
I thought Highway could not reduce the price of something to below zero?
QuoteOr would it be bought at a fire-sale price as a potentially "going concern"? Meaning that someone will take over the version of Dominion that Goko has developed and try maintain / develop it in some direction? Would there be anything salvageable from this debacle?
Now there's an idea... I wonder how much investors would be willing to get to sell Goko and if that amount would be in the ballpark of what a Kickstarter could raise
Weren't they planning on adding a host of different games once they got going?
Dominion plays HighwayI would much rather have a curse instead of a Goko
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Highway
Dominion plays Swindler
You trash Isotropic
You gain Goko
...
(On a later turn that no highways were played)
...
Dominion plays Swindler
You trash Goko
You gain a Curse
Online bridge all day
FOLKS, bridge is a beautiful, intricate game, easily the best ever invented for the standard deck of cards, and it is dying because only the elderly play it. Spend some time learning (it takes a year or so to be any good), you won't regret it.
I actually play a lot of bridge, but I never play online. At this moment I consider that a huge advantage, and yes its a beautiful and very complex game. Good bridge players are much better at bridge then good dominion players are at playing dominion. I'm not even certain I'm better at Dominion then I am at bridge, and yet there are about 500 people in my country alone that play bridge better then I do. I don't agree bridge is dying though. And btw, neither is Dominion. Unless they keep Goko around for too long. Fortunately nobody can do something like that to bridge.
This is the video:
Is this BSW?
EDIT: 4 months ago when Iso was long gone.
lol, almost looks like Goko dislikes the point tracker but lacks both the self-assuredness to say so and the skills to fight it, so this passive-aggressive image is all they dare to do.
Where are the 2013 1st Ed. rankings for Prizes? I found everything else but the prize cards.
I'm sorry to post here, I've looked everywhere.

There, they've been ranked.
This is a great idea, but usually the people without #vpon or #vpoff are people who don't visit the forum anyway, so a lot of them won't see this.
That doesn't matter. It doesn't have to be universal to be useful. Everyone who does this can get a (small) benefit from it, and I (and people like me) get a small benefit for everyone who does this.I don't set my table either way, but I have it set in settings to vpon, so if I play against an opponent who dislikes the point tracker, they have the option to turn it off.
If this is for two-player then you are exactly the kind of player I'm making this suggestion to. Currently I wouldn't sit down at your table, because I wouldn't know if you were gonna #vpoff me. If you followed my suggestion I would sit down at your table. (For multiplayer it doesn't work of course, because the vpoffer could be some other player anyway.)
I thought about this problem a lot back in the iso days. I had a weak preference FOR playing with the point tracker (at that point part of the Dominion client itself -- I'm not referencing the deck-tracking extension from those iso days).
But you could only choose auto match to find games where the point tracker was "allowed (or no preference)" or games where the point tracker was "disallowed (or no preference)." Essentially, all players were pigeon-holed into one of three categories:
I must have the point tracker, and will only play an automatched game with it enabled.
I will have either the point tracker or no point tracker, and will play an automatched game with it enabled or disabled.
I must NOT have the point tracker, and will only play an automatched game with it disabled.
However, I think a slight modification would have been perfect for me:
I must have the point tracker, and will only play an automatched game with it enabled.
I would like to have the point tracker, but will still play an automatched game without it if my opponent has a preference against it.
I will have either the point tracker or no point tracker, and will play an automatched game with it enabled or disabled.
I would like to NOT have the point tracker, but will still play an automatched game with it if my opponent has a preference for it.
I must NOT have the point tracker, and will only play an automatched game with it disabled.
My ideal, back in the iso days, was to have this "weak preference" indicator. If I indicated a strong preference, all of my matches would have the point counter. If I indicated a strong preference against, all of my matches would not have it. If I did not indicate a preference, and I was matched up with someone else who also didn't have a preference, we would play with no point counter. =(
Whereas, if I had a weak preference for the point counter (line 2 from my modifications), then we would still play with the point counter since my opponent had no preference either way.
I guess what I'm saying is that I had a preference, it just wasn't a make-or-break deal that iso pigeon-holed me into if I wanted to play with the point counter.
