Was there ever a chance of... Einladung... getting into Adventures, or was it created as a Promo?

At least on my phone it looked like Snowwhite and a dwarf/garden gnome. Wonder what she's inviting him for...

This is a problem I have with Dominion art in general. Even when looking at the actual card it's often really hard to make out the details. You have to look at a bigger size version to see it well. I couldn't see where the hag was on the Swamp hag card until I looked at a bigger version online.
In short, it's too good to be contained on the size of a Dominion card.

I am very much looking forward to this. So, the preorder ends on August 23rd. When is this released in Germany? Will the US get this shortly after?

The funny thing is we might get this promo card online before Dominion Adventures.

Woo-hoo. Something that makes it suck less to be a german Dominion fan. Now all they have to do is remove the unnecessary lines from Durations, include "correct" Pathfinding in the german box, give Events blue backs and all those months waiting will have paid off.

You also won't have the flimsier card stock or the low-quality mats and tokens.

Oh yes, that was the issue with Hasbro printing, right? I'm indeed glad i won't have that. Didn't know the tokens were also affected.

What about the lines from Durations? And what is the issue with Pathfinding?

Thank you!

I'm looking forward to Adventures (I'll buy it in Essen) just so I can ask my players which color they want :D

Pathfinding's art doesn't take up the whole box; the left and bottom edges are black. I imagine the German version will have fixed this issue. Here's hoping, anyway.

English Duration cards just list the effect they have this turn and then the effect of the next turn. German cards divide them with a line. I think it's a problem because it makes some rules confusing, for example Procession (or in fact, any Throne Room variant). In english, you can just say "everything above a line is set up once you play a card, what's below a line depends on something special". You can't do that in german.

Compare the original Merchant Ship to its german version:


Lighthouse even becomes the only card to have two dividing lines:



Edit: So, to make it short, if you have an english game, the "lines on durations" thing is nothing that should concern you. It's just something that has been a bit annoying over here.

I think ADK could reveal it if he wanted to?  Someone will soon enough.  Doubt he was told not to reveal it since it was at a con.

It's an event. It costs somewhere from $0 to $100 (inclusive). It does something when you buy it. On boards where the thing that it does is good it's worth buying. There are boards where the thing that it does is good.

We weren't specifically told not to reveal it, but I don't see any reason to give it away. Have some patience!

I like how you didn't say that there are boards  where the thing that it does is bad.

In Dominion the distinction between "bad" and "not good" is pretty fine.

Also, I don't know how the German publisher got to "Invitation" from "Hot Air Balloon."

He also didn't rule out that it will be the first card with a triple-digit cost.

Wha??? I wish someone told me the card was at Gen Con. I could have gotten someone to get me a copy of the card. I'm surprised no one mentioned it. I guess no one was expecting a promo so no one noticed. lol

It was only in the final round of the tournament, which they were very strict about letting spectators into (probably because it was there). They also weren't giving it away, just letting us play with it.

That seems to be more or less what has happened with this promo. The original English word has more than one meaning, and the German translators apparently decided to go with the wrong meaning, and then chose a similar word that, as near as I can determine, has a completely different connotation than even that wrong meaning. "Invitation" actually matches the effect of the Event pretty well, but it sure won't match the art.

Hmm... So, what could the original be, then... "Load up"? "Include"? "Annexation"? "Link-up"?

The image looks like a guy/woman at a window. "One day lad, all this will be yours!". I'll just make a random guess: It includes more cards into the game.

Also, hooray, the german translation is rubbish, being german sucks again, the world is in order... Damned.  :-\
