Ooh, I like Parish. +1 for you.

There's a little part of me that wants to see the Cheesegrater's Guild.

There's an enormous part of me that wants to see the Cheesegrater's Guild.

That sounds grate.

NOT ENOUGH +1s IN THE UNIVERSE FOR THIS!

Why? It was just a cheesy pun.

Why? It was just a cheesy pun.

I think it was a pretty gouda one.

I think we should wait to say more until we find a cheddar one.

Guys any way we slice it, these jokes stink.

(I think the intended pun is more obvious with this wording)

I believe you mean that there's a gorgonzola part of you that wants to see the Cheesegrater's Guild.

There might be room for something specific to Livestock, and like a Barn maybe.

Or Stables, perhaps?

Monterey Jack of All Trades

This is the best thing ever.

If you've ever played Amun Re, the icons that represent the cards look like cheese wedges to me so that's what I call them. You've even substituted a card for a cheese wedge.

Everybody thinks I'm crazy because I call them cheese wedges. I also call the treasure chests in Strozzi Sponges. Nobody understands me, but maybe you do, eHalcyon!

I want a Dragon, though I guess that will have to wait for the Dominion: Fantasy expansion coming out next spring.

There was a good dragon card in a Fairy Tale fan made expansion that was posted on BGG.... it was something like "-3 VP, at the end of the game you may trash 8 treasure cards, if you do the dragon is worth +5VP".

I haven't actually played it but it sounded like a nice idea.... I suppose in practice it may just lead to dull games where everyone is loading up on coppers....

I have also heard them called wedges, particularly when they aren't being used for draw, "+3 VPs for seven wedges."  That's also what we call the tokens in Trivial Pursuit.

Funny. We use the german expression Käseecken (which means cheese wedges) for Trivial Pursuit tokens, too. Cheese is international.

Ecken is wedges? I would have guessed corners (from my rusty High School German, which is to say, ignorance). Man, I wish I knew German better.

"Ecken" translates to "corners" right. And "wedges" means "Keile" but still there are called "Käseecken" in German. Don't ask me why.

It's a real pity. Otherwise you could traslate "tasty cheese wedges" to "geile Käse-keile", and that would sound soooo good, much better than leckere Käse-ecken.

I will call them like that from now on

Since we already have Pawn, Knight, Bishop, and King('s Court), we need a Queen and a Castle.

The nobility has King, Princess, Duke/Duchess, Count, Margrave (equivalent to Marquis), Baron, Knights, and generic Nobles, so all we need is a Lord (to govern a Feodum) and possibly an Emperor.

Craftsmen don't have an order, but we have a Woodcutter, Coppersmith, Ironworks, Forge, Armory, and Ironmonger.  We still need a Mason and either a Goldsmith or a Jeweler, and we're a bit heavy on ironmongery.

Thanks primarily to Prosperity, the monetary trades are already covered.  We have a Counting House, a Mint, a Bank with a Moneylender to issue a Loan, a Venture for your investments, and a Trading Post with a Trader to change your money.  I don't see anything missing.

And from this list, all we got was the Stonemason, and a lot of additional craftstmen so that ironmongery no longer dominates.  We also have a Taxman to add to the monetary trades, which I should have suggested in the original post.  The Queen and Castle will need to wait for the next expansion, and I would also still like a Jeweler.

You know that Guilds is the last planned expansion, right?  Though maybe your statement is one of optimism.

Guilds wasn't even planned in the first place.  I would welcome more expansions, but there is a case to be made for dilution - the larger the card pool, the less you'll see the specific mechanics introduced by each set.  You would literally have to make the next expansion a treasure chest one to ensure eveness in that regard.
