Seems this year we will get something new, though not a lot.

There will probably be a Dominion promo this year.

Good And that 20 Gokoins I have left might have some use

[SirPeebles]

I was about to get pissed off if this was about a fan card or what-if, and not a promo.  I was not disappointed.

Because you can bet that Goko's going to get right on implementing it.

I wonder whether it will be a fixed outtake or something completely new, related to some other game like Governor (Puerto Rico) and Walled Village (Carcassonne). Maybe something Power Grid related?

How does walled village relate to carcassone apart from the name? Governor relates to puerto rico in it's action too.

I haven't played Carcassonne, but I'm guessing its mechanics don't translate well into Dominion.

Exactly. I guess you can claim the "put on top of the deck" part is like reclaiming a Meeple after you score it, but maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan that's a stretch.

What about something like...

Tiler - $4
Action - Victory

Worth 1 VP

Trash this and any number of other copies of Tiler from your hand. Each other player may trash any number of copies of Tiler from their hand. For each copy of Tiler that was trashed, +2 VP tokens to each player who trashed at least one copy.


Hmm, so the wording's wonky and it's super swingy, but I think it's somewhat reminiscent of Carcassonne.

Bear in mind that any Power Grid promo would have to be a victory card starting with F.

Correction: It has to start with F when translated into German.

It's not a joke. Friedemann Friese is a German developer. His games are green and they start with the letter F in German. You'll notice that "Power Grid" does not start with F, but its German name, "Funkenschlag", does.

You say green ?

I own Powergrid, am german, and never noticed this. Now the name of his company suddenly makes sense... O__o

Nobody who dresses like that has ever, in the history of the entire universe, can be described as 'cool'

Wart Castle - $5
Victory
4VP
When you gain this, every player, including you, gains a curse.


This was my name for those hideous two-tile castles. They're a blight upon the land.

I remember one time I had a farmer in a tiny corner but was building a bajillion of these.  It worked pretty well.

Man, I'm looking forward to the actual card being announced so that we can talk about that. This thread got derailed quickly, which is understandable.

[A Drowned Kernel]

We could always go in for unsupported speculation!

I predict that the promo will cost something between $2 and $6, will be some combination of action, victory or treasure, and will do something besides give vanilla bonuses!

In seriousness I hope that it's something outlandish and gimmicky, because that fits the ideas of promos better. Something closer to Black Market than to Walled Village.

[LastFootnote]

I predict it will cost $5, just like most of the Dominion promos in the BGG Store.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Black Market, Envoy, and Stash are each $2.50. Walled Village and Governor are each $5. I still think it'll cost $5, though.
