Not at all strategy related, but just saw this on the RGG website:

Awesome

Sort of surprised there is no image in the corner, thought they might come up with something for this box. Maybe there will be in the printed version.

Also, wondering if this Amazon page is legit: http://www.amazon.com/Rio-Grande-Games-Dominion-Cards/dp/B007MKLX84/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1337973643&sr=1-2

Yeah, not paying $12 in shipping. I'll wait for it to show up in FLGS or regular Amazon.

Did not even notice that.  Tricksy little hobbitses, they are.

I posted this over at BGG, but I'm wondering on the new Victory/Curse cards, how are we meant to tell how many Victory Points each is worth?

Some possibilities:
1. They will have small VP symbols overlaid with numbers on the top corners of the cards.
2. They will have the usual number next to the VP symbol overlaying the art somewhere in the middle of the card.
3. We're just supposed to know by now how many VP each of these cards is worth.
4. The art itself will somehow convey the number of VP each card is worth.

These are all kind of poor options, but I hope it's #2. #1 is ugly. #3 is a barrier to entry for new players. #4 just seems weird.

They might put the numbers in the upper corners of the card, like the value of Treasures.

Shiny!

Yes, that would be option #1 in my list.

Why couldn't it just be the number of victory points in the lower half with the artwork in the upper half? Basically, it'd have the same layout as Islands, Great Halls, etc. That's what I would expect.

While the base victory cards kind of set a baseline, I think that the subsequent victory cards have really set the standard.

[Forge!!!]

Cool, feels a lot like 7 wonders artwork to me for some reason.

That would be nice, but they've already said that all the cards in the Base Cards set will have top-to-bottom art, like the new Gold card here.

Ah, that's why. I got nothing then. I was going to say that perhaps it's just in the rules that Estates, Duchies, and Provinces are always worth 1/3/6 but not really. While the pictures of these cards have the numbers, the rules don't specifically say that. The rules say that you total the number of shield icons.

[Willvon]

I'm excited to finally be able to see what these are going to look like.  However, have we ever heard what the extra thing was that they wanted to add to the Base cards set that caused distribution to be delayed another 1-1/2 months?

[ftl]

No, we have not.

[Qvist]

There's now a new Duchy image released:

...

Wow, beautiful image.

[werothegreat]

Well, we were all wrong about where the VP number was put.  But now I'm just salivating more for the rest of them...

[Morgrim7]

That looks amazing...
Oh, and...

Yeah, not paying $12 in shipping. I'll wait for it to show in in FLGS or regular Amazon.
