bid 0 on the bottom GRR

if kuildeous outbids me, then bid 0 on the top one and call him a drongus

[Kuildeous]

Well, I don't want to be called a drongus. I just won't go anywhere near schadd then and bid 0 on Income: R.

[Tables]

Since everyone has nothing but R this bit is easy:

Kirian, Kuildeous and Schadd get their card for free
Ghost pays RR, Seprix pays RRRR and get their card.

I had some ideas for the theme (that quite literally came to me in a dream). It's set in medieval times or something around there. Everyone is living in a new city, having bought a new home and small allotment of land, and is trying to make a name for themselves.
Red represents food, Green is... I'm not sure actually, some kind of tradable goods like building resources, some kind of valuables, whatever. Blue represents valuable gems/jewelry. The start cards are to customise and decise who you are: Income R means you're a farmers child, coming to the city with nothing but a bit of knowledge on how to grow your own food. 1 Off: GRR means you're a merchants child, coming with a little food for the road and some goods to trade. 1 Off: B means you're a noble's child, coming with the valuable jewel your parents left you.
The rest of the game is about you making deals and bartering with the locals to build up your business and become the most successful new arrival.

[Kuildeous]

Not that I anticipate holding it for long but bid 0 for Card 10, Income: GR.

[Seprix]

Interesting. I assumed you could spend your money and be fine, like Dominion, but it accumulates. Interesting. I probably made a blunder then. Oh well.

[Kuildeous]

Interesting. I assumed you could spend your money and be fine, like Dominion, but it accumulates. Interesting. I probably made a blunder then. Oh well.

I just figured you really wanted a Blue that badly since there were Blue cards coming up.

One way to look at it is that you converted 4R to 1B. Most of us have to do that with 8R.

If there is serious thought to seeing this as a physical game, I may suggest that you reveal each stage as the previous one ends. Having 10 rows of cards will make table space a commodity. And it may introduce enough luck so that the uber-strategist can’t plot and plan his whole game, though that could be fun too.

It could be interesting to instead have each player have three Stage II and three Stage III cards in their hand. At each turn, they put out a card to bid on. Of course, all three cards will be put out there, but it may give the player a slight edge when manipulating the auction blocks.

Yeah, I'm definitely not sold on revealing everything at once. I feel that one stage at a time would work better, but the main thing is I feel like I'll need to do something about stage 3, since what scoring cards there are has a big impact. I'll try and work something out (if we decide the game is good enough to try and make work of course), especially based on feedback from this game.

Anyway, regarding the cubes Seprix, I wouldn't worry too much. An extra blue in R1 seems pretty good, at most you've maybe done yourself out of 1-2 red since I think people would have competed them up to at least 2 otherwise. I'll see if I can think of a way to clarify the rules, if needed.

Kirian?

[Kirian]

Sorry, long weekend followed by sleep days.

Bid 0 on Card 16

I believe that closes the round?

[Tables]

Indeed.

I haven't had PMs saying anyone intends to discard (and can't see a compelling reason anyone except Kuildeous would likely want to), so for the sake of speed I assume everyone will be converting and buying their card, rather than discarding. Let me know if this isn't what you wanted.

So:

Kuildeous converts 8R>B and buys his card for B.
Kirian buys his card for 3R
Ghostofmars pays bid R and buys his card for BR
Seprix buys his card for BR
Shadd pays bid R and buys his card for 3R

Turn order passes, Round 1B starts. Everyone collects their income.

Please consider giving COs if you haven't been already, it helps make things a lot quicker.

[Kirian]

Bid 2 on 24

Bid 3 on 24

Back to Kirian then.

[Kirian]

Oh, we don't go all the way around the table?  I missed that.

Bid 4 on 24 and sending a CO.

[Tables]

Currently, if you're outbid you immediately bid again. I'm thinking of making it clockwise instead. For a start, it would then not be the same as Evo (where I got the bidding track inspiration from) and likely would make it easier to see whats going on.
