Treasure Chest Design Contest — Card #1: Prosperity
« on: August 25, 2013, 11:39:53 pm »
+25

The time for another card design contest is here! This time we are aiming to create our own Treasure Chest set: a set of 13 cards, two for each large published expansion (Intrigue, Seaside, Prosperity, Hinterlands, Dark Ages), and one for each small published expansion (Cornucopia, Guilds, Alchemy). I will try to post one contest thread each week for 13 weeks. If we have space in the box (150 cards) left at the end, we may have a 14th contest for designing a new Prize.

Submission Rules

• Submit no more than one card per challenge.
• You are not obligated to submit a card for every challenge.
• Submit your card to me via this forum's messaging system.  Submissions made after each week's deadline cannot be accepted.
• Each card you submit must have a name, a cost, a list of types, and the exact wording that should appear on the card.  Also include a brief description of any special design considerations (e.g., Stash having a unique back), but do NOT include any other information, such as strategic commentary or examples about it would play.
• Unlike the previous set design contest, the name you give your card will appear on the ballot. If multiple cards with the same name are submitted, I will differentiate them with letters in a randomly chosen order, e.g. [Card Name] A, [Card Name] B, etc. Cards themselves will likewise be listed in a random order on the ballot.
• I will accept revisions to your contest entries provided they are submitted to me before the deadline.  If you submit a revision to an entry you have previously submitted to me, resubmit your revised card(s) in their entirety.  That is, don't tell me "Oh, can you make that +2 Cards say +3 Cards instead?"  Just resubmit the full card.
• Only submit cards that are your own design.
• You may submit cards that have been previously posted here in this forum, including those that have been refined by the community as a whole, provided you can still claim that the central conceit of the card -- and the majority of its final version -- is yours.
• A single card might conceivably qualify for multiple challenges within this series. If your card doesn't win the first challenge you submit it to, you may submit it for any and all future challenges (until it wins), provided the card fits those challenges. This is particularly pertinent for cards that don't win the first of two slots for a large expansion, although depending on which card does win, your card may not qualify for the second challenge.
• Do not disclose your submissions publicly, either in this thread or elsewhere!

For this Treasure Chest set, you may not submit cards that combine certain mechanics from multiple expansions. The idea is that you could simply slot the cards into their respective sets without needing components or rules specific to another set. Specifically:

• Duration cards may only be submitted as candidates for a Seaside slot.
• Potion-cost cards may only be submitted as candidates for the Alchemy slot.
• Cards that use VP tokens or cost $7 or more may only be submitted as candidates for a Prosperity slot.
• Cards that use Coin tokens and cards that use overpay may only be submitted as candidates for the Guilds slot.
• Cards that use Ruins (Looters) and cards that use Spoils may only be submitted as candidates for a Dark Ages slot.

Many mechanics are fair game for any submission. The following is an incomplete list.

• Victory/Action and Victory/Treasure hybrid cards.
• Cards that allow you to choose an ability from a list.
• Cards with on-buy, would-gain, on-gain, and on-trash abilities.

I will be putting some constraints on the set as a whole.

• No more than one Victory card (ideally an Intrigue or Hinterlands card).
• No more than one Treasure card (ideally a Prosperity card).
• The raw number of cards (including randomizers) must not exceed 150.



Voting Rules

At the end of each submission period, I'll post the cards I've received and accept votes for the best ones. You may vote for as many of the submissions as you like, although you may only vote for any individual card once per ballot.



Challenge #1 : Prosperity

Design a Kingdom card that would fit into the Prosperity expansion. Ideally such a card will have one or more of the following qualities:

• Is a Treasure card.
• Interacts with Treasure cards (either cards with the Treasure type [like Mint], or one or more specific Treasure cards [like Counting House]).
• Costs $6 or more.
- Uses Victory Point tokens.
- Provides a non-Attack interaction.

The bullet points (•) are the set's major themes, and the hyphens (-) are the set's minor themes.

The deadline for this week's challenge is Monday, September 2, 2013 at 8am CDT. At the time I post the submissions for voting, I will endeavor to also post the next challenge, so that each week there will be one contest to submit for and one to vote on.

I'm certain I forgot something, so if you have any questions, please post them here or send me a private message and I will endeavor to answer them in a timely manner. Good luck!

Voting Rules

• I will not accept votes until Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 8am CDT. There are two reasons for this. First, I've almost certainly made some mistakes and I want the card authors to have time to contact me so I can make fixes. Second, I want everybody to have the chance to critique and discuss the cards for a few days.
• The deadline for turning in your ballots is Monday, September 9, 2013 at 8am CDT.
• We are using an approval voting system. That means you can vote for as many of the cards as you like, but only once for each card. Feel free to vote for your own card if you submitted one. When you send in your ballot, simply list the cards you'd like to vote for.
• I will generally not accept revisions to ballots. I recommend you send your ballot in later rather than earlier in case you change your mind about some of your votes.
• The winning card may (and likely will) be revised, so I encourage you vote for a card if you think it could be great with a different cost or some slight tweaking.

The idea is that you could simply slot the cards into their respective sets without needing components or rules specific to another set.

Does this mean that a card submitted for an Intrigue slot can't have a "while in play" clause?

Intrigue also can't have any cards which require the Lose Track rule, such as Mining Village.

I think dark ages is the only set with on-trash effects.

No, that's fine. "While in play" rules may not be in the Intrigue rulebook, but it's a fairly self-explanatory mechanic that appears in most sets. I'm ruling that such a card can be submitted to any contest.

After all, if Dominion were being remade now, Coppersmith and Bridge might very well have that wording. ;D

Intrigue also can't have any cards which require the Lose Track rule, such as Mining Village.

I get that you're joking, but just to be clear, you can submit a card that might require lose-track to any contest. In general, if you can word your card cleanly such that it doesn't need lose-track, endeavor to do so.

I think dark ages is the only set with on-trash effects.

True. However, it's the kind of rule (like on-gain) that could potentially be in several sets. Dark Ages was just planned for the last set. That being said, if you submit a card with an on-trash clause to a non-Dark Ages contest, that clause should be key to the card's concept, which in turn should be appropriate for the contest it's being submitted to.

I'm not. I feel that the name of a card is part-and-parcel with the rest of it. I understand the idea of voting based only on the card's effect rather than the name, but I don't agree with it. I could definitely be convinced otherwise. You all have a week to try to convince me if it's important to you.

If I were to use code names, they'd be Pokémon.

Suggestion: make this a new subforum (or... sub-subforum?) to keep the two contests neatly organized.

Questions:
- Will you reject submissions if they do not "fit" with the theme (e.g. it does not have the properties of a Prosperity card), or will this judgement be left to the voters?
- Will there be any [other] reason for submission rejection?
- In light of the set size restriction of 150 cards, what will you do in the event of a tie?  An extra tie-breaking voting period, perhaps?
- Will there be a special voting procedure?  For example, in the first contest you could give 3 points to one card, or 2 points to 2 cards (and either way, 1 point to any number of cards).  Also, contestants would garner 1 point for their own card if they voted for anyone else (you could not vote for your own).  I believe this latter point was to encourage contestants to also vote, because voting for the competition would otherwise hurt your own chances.
- Are voters encouraged to vote for cards as if they were complete, or should they vote keeping in mind that the card may be tweaked pending playtest results?  I think in the first contest this was left up to the judgement of the voters.

If I don't think a card fits the theme, I will message the submitter and ask why he/she thinks the submitted card is appropriate for that expansion. From there I'll decide on a case-by-case basis. In general I'll err on the side of allowing cards and letting the voters decide.

- Will there be any [other] reason for submission rejection?

Maybe? Nothing I can think of off of the top of my head. If I have concerns about a submission, I'll PM the person about it.

- In light of the set size restriction of 150 cards, what will you do in the event of a tie?  An extra tie-breaking voting period, perhaps?

Correct. If there is a tie, another round of voting will be done with just the winners (same rules). If no further cards are eliminated after such a vote (there's still a tie between all remaining contenders), then I will choose a winner because TYRANT!

- Will there be a special voting procedure?  For example, in the first contest you could give 3 points to one card, or 2 points to 2 cards (and either way, 1 point to any number of cards).  Also, contestants would garner 1 point for their own card if they voted for anyone else (you could not vote for your own).  I believe this latter point was to encourage contestants to also vote, because voting for the competition would otherwise hurt your own chances.

Just one vote per person per card submitted. Vote for as many cards as you want per ballot, but you may only vote for each card on the ballot once. Straight-up approval voting. You are encouraged to vote for your own submission and any others you think would make good cards.

- Are voters encouraged to vote for cards as if they were complete, or should they vote keeping in mind that the card may be tweaked pending playtest results?  I think in the first contest this was left up to the judgement of the voters.

You are encouraged to vote for cards that you think would be great after playtesting and tweaking. If you think an idea is awesome but the card is miscosted, go ahead and vote for it. Likewise for other minor changes. If you think the concept of the card is fundamentally flawed, definitely do not vote for it.

I realise it's unlike you're going to change the rules now, but I think one major thing a treasure chest expansion should do is having cards which incorporate multiple expansions mechanics. This doesn't mean EVERY card should do so, but I think there's potential there for ideas, and making a treasure chest that explicitly avoids it feels kind of like it's missing a big potential thing.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

This doesn't mean EVERY card should do so, but I think there's potential there for ideas, and making a treasure chest that explicitly avoids it feels kind of like it's missing a big potential thing.

This was addressed already:

Ideally, I'd like to avoid mixing too many mechanics for this contest. I'd like to see us come up with cards that could be slotted into their respective expansion without the need to own any other sets. At minimum, this means that Looters and cards that reference Spoils could only be Dark Ages cards, cards that use VP tokens could only be Prosperity cards, etc.

However, this leaves the door open for another similar project in the future where we do mix mechanics. I'm guessing there wouldn't be a ton of overlap for submissions between these two sets and I think it'd be cool to see how each one plays out.

As for what this set will look like as a whole, it would be nice if it worked in its own context, but for me the higher priority is for each card to work in the context of its native expansion. If we end up with (for instance) no Villages in the final set, so be it.





Two more questions:

- Are the restrictions of max 1 Victory and max 1 Treasure strict?  They seem quite limiting if, for example, a Treasure-Victory card won.  Moreover, this can cause conflict due to scheduling.  Voting occurs at the same time submissions open for the next card, which means it is possible that (for example) a Victory card wins both.

- May we nominate cards posted in the forum that are not our own?  I assume not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

No, they're not strict. Good call on the simultaneous voting and submitting.

Wasn't sure if I should bring it up myself, or if that would seem arrogant. :P

I was thinking that I might submit, and if I won one then I would stop.  I believe some people did that in the first contest, whereas I showed no mercy. ;)

No, they're not strict. Good call on the simultaneous voting and submitting.

To clarify: after a Victory or a Treasure has won, will future submissions be rejected if they share that type?

Also, I suppose that if a Victory-Treasure wins, either a Victory or a Treasure would still be accepted but no more after that (barring the timing issues described above).




Edit:

Also, since some expansions will have multiple slots, how will that be handled?  For example, will there be more Prosperity contests in the future, or will the top 2 (or 3?) from this contest be selected?  I advocate multiple contests so that contestants can submit cards based on perceived needs of the set.
