A Village in another expansion? That would be Bazaar.

So anyway, May, that's not really that long. It will be time for previews before you know it.

A lot quicker than it takes MF to implement an expansion that's for sure

I predict a village, a trasher, a junker, a discard attack, terminal draw, and a treasure. I'm almost certain on all of those cards.

So that's why you don't have the new expansion. You live in the Old Dominion state.

If there is a Traveller, I'd like to see a kind of Bureaucrat (not "Bureaucrat", since that name is taken already) who basically starts off as a low-level flunky, and works his/her way up to being a Vizier or Viceroy.

However, thinking about it, I doubt there will be a Traveller.  With 25 Kingdom cards, and let's say 1 Victory Kingdom card, that takes up 252 cards, plus 25 randomizers.  That leaves us with 23 cards left.  These will probably be 10 Events, and 10-13 Landmarks, with the rest being blank cards.  In order to accommodate a single Traveller, we'd have to lose 2 whole Kingdom cards to free up the 20 extra card space needed.

This is what I'm thinking.

I think we get 26 kingdom cards which is 260 cards plus 26 randomizers for 286 cards plus 5 Landmarks and 5 Events. I think we will get 4 blanks.

I think we will only get 5 Landmarks since they give out VP tokens from the description. I also think to make Events feel more special we will only get 5-10 per expansion. This will help set Adventures apart from future expansions, also it makes sense for it to have more Events since it was the expansion to introduce them.

I think since we will have cards that give out VP tokens, we will not get an alt. vp card. Although, I hope I'm wrong. It would interesting if we had a vp card that gave out VP tokens perhaps from buying it or discarding it or trashing it...

Anyway, Prosperity gave us 3 cards that gave us VP tokens. I'm thinking we will have around 10 cards this time since I feel that will play a larger theme this time around since Prosperity was more focused on bigger and better and more expensive stuff.

I don't know if this has been said yet, but I have been thinking about these piles that have two cards in them. In order for players to get an even amount in a 3P game, the pile would need to be 12 cards, 6 of each card. Although, maybe having 5 works fine. I guess it really depends on how much you want the cards and also if the cards are shuffled, or if you have to buy your way through the top of a pile to get to a better card.

Kinda off topic, but Jay hints that the next expansion (after Empires) is already being worked on.  :D

May want to break it up into 2 boxes.  It may be blasphemy, but this really should provide a lot of much desired flexibility.
That's the way I'm leaning. But I'm guessing that as soon as I buy another box they announce a promise that there will not be any more expansions.

We will make no such promise - too many things already in the works.

Card prediction:

Imperial Court
- Action

You may play an Action from your hand four times.

I've always thought that would be pretty shark-jumpy. I think King's Court gives a satisfyingly different experience than Throne Room, but I'm going to claim that Imperial Court would play a lot like King's Court, except harder to buy and even more of a pain to track.

Same deal with uh Mega Expand, which would allow you to gain a card costing up to $4 more than the trashed card. Expand lets you go $2 → $5 → $8 (→ $11), which is way different from Remodel. I guess Mega Expand lets you go $0 → $4 → $8, but that doesn't sound like it would make for fun games.

That would be a cool card.  Oh and good name choice too ;)

I was mainly being silly.  :P

But yeah, Expand's jump of fits very well with the pricing of the basic Treasures and Victories.

Continuing with the theme of $4 cards that give you 2 of something, $7 cards that give you 3 of that thing and $10 cards that give you 4 of that thing, I think this is a pretty reasonable prediction for Empires:

Imperial Militia $10
Action - Attack

+$4

Each other player discards down to 1 card in hand.

For Adventures, the real previews had already started by the time April Fool's Day came around. But if the May 18th release date holds, that won't be true for Empires! Are you up to the task, Watno?
