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.

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!

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.

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)

Yeah, but then some of them formed the Elf Movement for Liberation, and then the Popular Front for House Elfs.  Splitters!

Sweet another new promo card. Man, 2016 is shaping up to be quite the year for Dominion.

As for the the power level, I think this pile seems kind of weak, but seeing how they work off each other it's possible they're decent.

Oh wait, these can chain, can't they? If I play Sauna then Avanto, I can play another Sauna again and so forth, right? If so, that makes it better than I initially thought, though, it still requires commitment similar to Herald.

While 2016 has surely been awesome for Dominion as a whole, I hope 2017 will be remembered as the year that saw Dominion online eventually flourish.

Is it just me, or does Sauna/Avanto seem really strong?

Suppose that you're the only one picking up Saunas.  You can take Saunas on $4, silvers on $3, and by the time the Avantos show up, you can easily afford them, and they function as double-labs that only you have access to.  This is such a good position for you, that your opponent ought to stop you by competing for Saunas early on.  So the Saunas will go fairly quickly.

It's cute that the finnish publisher got such a fitting card. It's thematic in a witty way, and the art is also rather pretty.

A number of other people could cause that to not happen, and not even feel obligated to tell me; but the same or similar people could have stopped the other promos from being in the BGG store, and yet they are all there.

Well, all except for Black Market. I got my copy before they took it off the site, though.

"Took it off the site" surely can only actually mean "sold out and haven't received more yet."

Cool to see the first impressions ranging from not very good to super strong :)

In my opinion, this is the best split pile so far. The self-synergy between Sauna and Avanto is the greatest among the split piles which I think is the most important aspect of them.

I also really like the design choice that Sauna costs so it isn't that easy to just get a lot of them before your opponent gets any.

Also, imagine I make a sarcastic and slightly salty remark about how it totally makes sense to rank the two cards seperately in Qvists rankings here because I'm too lazy to think of one right now.

I wonder how swingy of an opening Sauna/Silver will be. Like how much will it matter if they collide or not early on?

Probably pretty important, but not as important as Urchin/Urchin.

I kind of don't like this one because you get strong draw and trashing together, which makes for a fairly unskippable pile. It doesn't make a deck on its own though, so it's not that different from other strong piles.

If they don't colide it's like you opened silver/ nothing which is pretty bad.
I would open silver/silver get a 5er and a suana next and then have a good deck.

Well, I see the FAQ as mostly just covering questions a player not as versed in Dominion arcana as we are might have.  So they might wonder if they could play the Avanto for free later in their turn if they already played a Sauna, rather than just right away.  Or if you Crown a Silver, if that means you can trash two things with Sauna.  Or if they'll have extra Actions after chaining Sauna-Avanto-Sauna-Avanto-Sauna.

This.

"When you play Sauna, you first draw a card and get +1 Action. You may then immediately play an Avanto from your hand. This does not take up one of your actions, including the action provided by Sauna. You can only play an Avanto this way directly after playing the Sauna, not if you played another action card inbetween, even if you have a Sauna in play.

When you play Avanto, you first draw 3 cards. You may then immeditately play a Sauna from your hand. This does not take up any of your actions, and Sauna will still give you +1 Action if you play it this way. You can only play a Sauna this way directly after playing the Avanto, not if you played another action card inbetween, even if you have an Avanto in play.

You can play Sauna and Avanto in alteration this way, taking up only the action for the first of the cards you play. You can do this until you don't have the respective card in hand after playing the other. When you play a Sauna, you can not immediately play a Sauna from your hand without using up one action. The same goes for playing Avanto after Avanto.

While Sauna is in play, you can trash a card from your hand anytime you play a Silver. If you play the same Silver several times, such as with Counterfeit (Dominion - Dark Ages) or Crown (Dominion - Empires) you may trash a card each time you play the Silver. You do not have to trash anything when you play a Silver. You can decide to trash a card every time you play a Silver, you do not have to decide once for the entire turn. When Sauna leaves play, such as being trashed with Procession (Dominion - Dark Ages), you can not use its effect anymore. When you have several Saunas in play and play a Silver, you can trash a card from your hand for every Sauna you have in play. You can still decide to not trash a card each time."

I almost wonder if split piles like this would be cooler with 12 cards instead of 10. Someone having 3 and another having 2 doesn't seem all that useful. It's like the Fool's Gold effect: if everyone goes for it, it sucks. But if no one goes for it, it could be a really nice form of draw.

This will get interesting with Throne Rooms.

Play Throne Room to play Sauna
-draw Avanto and play Avanto
--draw Sauna and 2 more cards and play Sauna
---draw a card and play Avanto
----draw 3 cards
-draw a Sauna and play Avanto
--draw 3 cards and play Sauna
---draw...

Remembering the order of which card to play based on instruction is going to be interesting. I think the tree-branch play area is going to be more important than ever, even more than Herald. (and Vassal?)

Totally agree. There are good arguments to make that you should set up some split piles like Victory card piles, i.e. 8 in a 2P game and 12 otherwise. For example 2P Catapult games will rarely reach Rocks or only reach them if it doesn't matter much anymore. This is why I don't use a dogmatically fixed number of 10 (or an even split) for my own split pile fan cards.

About this card, it is probably so good in many Kingdoms that it would be best with the 8/12 treatment.

Well, while that´s true for most cards, there are quite a few cards in dominion that have lead to some rather complicated/unintuitive rulings (like band of misfits, trader, scheme, etc), there´s the band of misfits/conspirator interaction that´s specifically on my mind right now...

My friend is headed to Essen tomorrow. Is there an English version of this card available there somewhere? He said he would pick one up for me, but from what I understand there will only be German and Finnish versions of the card there. When/where will the English version be available?

Apparently, is out of stock. A post on BGG implies or sold out Tues, potentially earlier. Weird.

Good thing, I ordered my copy.

I played my first game with Sauna/Avanto this weekend. Turns out a couple of Saunas and a couple of Silvers lets you thin your deck pretty fast, and the thinner it gets, the more reliable it becomes (also, pairing Saunas with Avantos becomes more reliable too).
It takes time to build it into a reliable double-Province engine, though, so the player decided to go single-Province, and in the end, my Wharf-Coin of the Realm draw engine eeked out an extra Duchy off the Wharf +1 Buy for a narrow win. Although I must admit my engine was probably worse and I was just lucky it never whiffed.

I don't know, but I believe BGG has some system whereby they will email you when a thing you want comes in. You would have to do your own research there, or recruit someone else to do it, but I am pretty sure they have such a thing. Which means of course that when it does show up, a bunch of other people will be instantly alerted.

Thank you, good sir. I'll look into that.

So, is BGG the only outlet for this card? It looks to me like an English version has not been available on the site since November 2016.

I can get one on ebay for $27, with tons available.... jerks.  I know BGG says "1 per person" but I don't think they're able to enforce it.  Either that or somebody robbed RGG at a convention or such.

Maybe the English edition of a recent spielbox contains it? The German edition contained Sauna/Avanto in German...

It's $13 now. Now, that they are showing up on eBay I'm guessing it's just a matter of time before BGG gets them again.

Every time someone bumps this thread, I think there's a new promo card.
