Chancellor just needs to trigger tunnel and he'd be fine :p

Then he would have four almost powerful combos instead of one. Other than that, he would be just as bad.

FTFY

Counting House, Stash, Inn.

In Province games, Chancellor-Stash is super duper strong when it appears, in my experience.  I can't think of any stronger two-card combos.

I have to agree. An the cool thing is, it is made up of the worst cards.

Whoa, Chancellor/Stash is good, but let's not get carried away here.

It gets blown away by (Province-oriented) combos such as: Wharf/Fool's Gold, Hunting Party/Monument, Native Village/Bridge, etc. Then there are alt VP strategies like Ironworks/Silk Road, although arguably that's not exactly a "Province game" anymore.

I think chancellor/stash is much more resilient to cursing than most other straight BM variants.

Also, if you look closely, Chancellor is a woman.

That was a very cheap Merkel joke, and you know it.

Yeah well, more or less I think.

But the comparison is really not fair to our poor Dominion Chancellor.

FOUR MORE DAYS.

[philosophyguy]

I'm in favor of having a separate thread for each three cards announced. Ideally, the thread title should have the names of the three cards; I will never remember what was released on Day X, but I can easily remember what the thread is about if it has the card names in the subject.

a few related ideas
- maybe we can talk theory into setting up a new subforum or stickying posts or something?
- consistent titling of threads, ideally something like: Day 1 - Card X, Card Y, Card Z
- set up threads for the cards released on day 1/2/x ahead of time so that its not a race for users to do it
- create threads specifically for discussing artwork, dark ages combos, game logs with the new cards, etc.  if not we are bound to get dozens of those flying around too.

[Qvist]

I'm not sure. Isn't this overkill? The old Hinterlands spoil thread only had 11 pages in the end and even the full leak discussion had only 14 pages.

But I do agree. Combos, Logs and Artwork should go in different threads.

But the activity in the forum has almost doubled since then.

Yup.
And there are 50% more cards per day. And we've had longer between sets. And I would presume that at least some of these are going to be more revolutionary than the Hinterlands cards (I'm looking at you, shelters and ruins).

Hinterlands, for all the fun that it is, is really a vanilla expansion.  Instead of introducing a new mechanic or card type, it simply creates a paradigm shift as to when cards can (or should) produce effects.

oh it totally might be a little overkill.  but it would also help keep things organized.  instead of one thread with 8 different discussions we can keep things a little more focused. and while most discussion was centered in those main threads there were a few other offshoot threads taking up space.  i'm just proposing that we try to implement say 5-6 focused threads instead of 2 big jumbled threads and a few tangential threads that get lost in the shuffle.

also i would echo WW and Tdog's sentiments and add that avoiding a massive dump like last year will likely increase the hype and speculation.

[Nakamura]

Will the previews be on Boardgamegeek first? Or will it be here?

[werothegreat]

Ok, now work with me on this:

The order of the main Cursers of each set has gone:

Female, Male, Female, Non-gendered, Male, Female, Non-gendered...  if we're going by this pattern, the Dark Ages Curser should be male.

For those wondering: Witch, Torturer, Sea Hag, Familiar, Mountebank, Young Witch, IGG

[theory]

We've arranged to post the previews simultaneously on the DS front page.

I think I would prefer to have one thread for generalized Dark Ages discussion (incl., say, artwork), and then one thread per day of cards.  A separate subforum for Dark Ages might prove obsolete in a couple of months.

What about a sub forum that will get merged in the future?

[Ozle]

I dont really understand the need for a sub forum.
This is the key thing in Dominion discussion at the moment, what else are people likely to be talking about.

The main froum is where it should be, thats where new visitors will look for the important Dom info

[Kuildeous]

Personally, I think it'd be great if each card had its own thread, but that may make navigating a little trickier. And with 35 or so cards, someone is bound to look at the thread list and say, "Well, there's no thread on Dung Seller, so I better start one," not realizing that there is indeed already a thread for Dung Seller.

You mean Twig Beggar.

[shMerker]

Dung Seller
$4 Action - Attack

+$1

Each other player gains a curse or reveals a hand with no curses. You get +$1 for each curse gained this way.

Doesn't involve trashing/upgrading.  The Curser has to fit the theme.

[LastFootnote]

I think having one thread for each day is the way to go for a few reasons.

1. Donald is likely to be picking sets of three cards with good synergy and there's not much point to having two discussions of how Card A works with Card B.

2. Card B may only be obtainable via Card A, which would make a Card B thread extra silly.

3. Most posts in the thread are going to touch on all three cards anyway, and we're going to want to read it all, so why split it up further?
