New Promo Card
« on: September 23, 2016, 05:18:32 am »

The German publisher announced a new Promo card for Spiel 2016 in Essen.
Scans here: http://forum.dominion-welt.de/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24
It is a split pile, Sauna and Avanto:

Quote
Sauna
4 - Action
+1 Card
+1 Action

You may play an Avanto from your hand.
---
While this is in play, when you play a Silver, you may trash a card from your hand.

Quote
Avanto
5 - Action
+3 Cards

You may play a Sauna from your hand.

Note that these are my translations of the German cards, not the official names or wordings.

Edit: Thanks to Donald X for the correct English names.

From Empires speculation:

[...]
I expect that there will be a split pile with a draw card the bottom since there hasn't been any yet. My idea would be a terminal draw card at the bottom with some cheap cantrip on top for $2-3, which you may play from your hand after the terminal draw card (basically giving you the +action back you needed to play the draw card).

Close enough lol.

Sauna's bottom is really interesting. Doesn't seem like a power trasher on its own but seems like it would be pretty cool with support. Is it attractive enough to entice players to reveal ice hole on its own? I'm not sure.

The English translation of the name isn't confirmed yet I think.

I don't think there's another word for 'ice hole' in English. The equivalent German word means the same, by the way (eis means ice, loch means hole - now that I think about it, I wonder if it's cognate with Scottish 'loch'?). Interestingly, in Dutch we do have a couple of words for a hole in the ice - 'wak' or 'bijt'. It's weird to find a lacuna in a different language than my own for once. Makes me wonder how they would translate this card into Dutch (if that ever happens at all), given the highly dubious and mediocre translations we have so far.

You know him as "Mr Anderson."

It's Sauna / Avanto. They're both Finnish words (though sauna is a loanword and avanto isn't). The Finnish publisher wanted a promo; I tried to make it Finnish. And they provided the artist, who is also Finnish.

In Finland it's a thing to go into the sauna, then into the avanto, then back to the sauna, and so on.

I've heard a saying once that Finnish people love saunas so much that they first build a sauna, and then the rest of the house.

Pretty cool to go for a Finland-themed promo. I didn't really pick up on it tbh.

Cool one. A Sauna/Avanto combo amounts to 2 Labs (plus trashing effect), which is pretty nice.
It looks like one of those cards that doesn't like having a third and fourth player.
It's probably the most interactive of all split piles, since the 2 splits matter so much for how the cards work.

I can claim to have performed the combo IRL! And I'm not even Finnish!

Hopefully ShuffleIT will manage to implement this unexpected promo at least by April!

Hopefully they know about the Promo longer than we do and I can play it 01/01/2017.

I have this (probably unjustified) hope that this promo and the new editions of base and intrigue are the reasons for the closedness of ShIT  testing, and that it's gonna be expanded after th reveals.

Even if ShuffleIT doesn't implement it before 01/01/2017, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to play with this card online before I'll be able to play with it IRL.

Yes, spot on. We implemented it in April. April 2016 to be a bit more precise.

I thought about that as soon as I heard the name Shuffle iT. I kept quiet hoping that nobody else would notice that, but unfortunately I've seen some "ShiT" flying around already. :/

ShIT sounds pretty cool as a nickname for this company. I vote that we keep it!

It reminds me of the scene in Harry Potter where Hermione founds an organization for house-elfs and calls it S.P.E.W. (Fun fact: In the Dutch translation they actually changed that name to S.H.I.T. Probably because 'spew' is not a Dutch word and 'shit' is being used as a loan word)
