This is why there conveniently weren't any photos of us playing Dominion at that meetup. I didn't "forget" to take photos - I couldn't!

You just have to angle the camera high enough...

Before Prince, permanents felt like the biggest omission mechanics-wise in Dominion, so I wouldn't have been surprised for a new expansion to introduce them. But Prince more-or-less covers anything a permanent could reasonably do, so I expect we won't see permanents in the new expansion.

Because this is an expansion and not a spin-off, I doubt that we'll see anything drastic like a board or combat system. So I dunno really what this expansion can have as a theme that will feel new. Action/card/buy tokens? Or maybe it won't have a unified theme and just be a collection of interesting cards, which would be fine by me.

Wait a minute.... Didn't LastFootnote say he was bringing Enterprise if anyone wanted to playtest?

Did that idea get dumped in favor of an actual new expansion..... OR..... !!!!

The idea got dumped in favor of the new expansion. I mean, I brought the Enterprise cards too because why not, but I also brought my copy of the playtest set, and I was not going to push playtesting some fan cards in the face of a new official expansion.

As it turns out my family was only there for a few hours, so my wife and I each got one game of Dominion in while the other watched our son. Luckily for everyone involved, other people also had copies of the set there.

Wow, so everyone that went to the Chicago meetup were hush about this for, like, three months?

Yes.
It was horrible

As the organizer, even I didn't know this would be there - I showed up slightly late to the meetup, sprinted upstairs feeling like I was a terrible host, and saw several people with a game already underway. "Oh great, you started without me - excellent! What sets do you have here? I brought my complete set, it even has Prince!" I offered/bragged.

"Funny story..." someone replied.

Damn! That's crazy had no idea you guys playtested the new set at the meetup. Too bad I live in California, I would so meetup to playtest a Dominion set.

Times like these I hate living in Oz....

Yeah, I have to admit I was disappointed that I got there last and didn't get to see anybody's face when they got the news. You're a lucky guy, person who may or may not want him or herself outed as a playtester!

Thanks again for organizing the meetup, Voltaire, and thanks to everybody who was there on Saturday. My wife thought it was going to be a total drag, but she had a great time! Way to be awesome people!

I would recommend avoiding translations...

In that case.. Does anyone know whether the two versions have the same backgrounds (so they can't be told from one another)? Because if that's the case I could just buy the English versions..

*spasms*

And now we have to wait 6 months before we hear anything else about this, even a title.

And of course by "we" I'm not including you people who went to the Chicago meetup.

I feel so jealous. Is there any way possible I can get in on this, or is the set already finished?

The people who were only at the meetup actually know very little at this point, and they definitely don't know the title.  So rejoice! It's just us testers hoarding knowledge.  Believe me, I want to share it more than I want to hide it, but them's the breaks.  All I'll tell you is that the expansion is gonna be great and worth the wait.

On the bright side, Temporum is coming out any day now.

It's just the playtesters (last footnote, jsh, others) who know much about the set. I played like 3 games with maybe 15 total cards in the state that they were in on paper cutouts 3 months ago. I (along with most attendees of the meetup) don't know anything for sure about the set besides the sort of cards/concepts that may be introduced. It wasn't even certain that it would be published at the time, and I doubt that the set is anywhere near finalized still.

Out of curiosity, is there an NDA, or is it more like

Scout's Honor
$0 - Action/Victory
Don't reveal anything.  Put the unrevealed cards out of mind in any order.

It's Scout's Honor, but man, I'd like to test future stuff if there is any so I ain't going to break it.

Reminds me, I need to figure out what Temporum is.

But seriously, realistically, I should not be getting excited right now.

We might learn the title in January.
Which would mean we'd might learn the theme of the set in March.
Which would mean we'd might see the cover of the box in May.
Which would mean we'd might see the previews in August.
Which would mean we'd finally get to purchase the expansion in September.

It seems rather counterproductive to get hyped for something I'm not even really going to know anything about, let alone play, for almost another year.

I just want to know who sent you the card info to playtest. Did Jay approach you? Donald X. V.?

My biggest regret about playtesting is that I won't be surprised about the previews. For Hinterlands, Dark Ages, and Guilds, that was like Christmas morning five days in a row. Those of you who don't yet have the set spoiled for them, enjoy it!

Sure, but the important part is that we know that there actually will be an expansion! That's all that matters. And personally I like how the dominion expansions are spread out over many years, it lets us enjoy them more. If they had all been released in 2008 we might not still be talking about dominion anymore.

:)

I'd like to use this as my excuse for why I haven't been able to promote in the League.

...and just a reminder, I'll be going to the Tournament at U-Con in a couple of weeks. I can ask if it's OK to bring everything there?
