Argh, I don't know what to call my card.  And I can't ask for advice because then everybody will know what my card is.

And it wouldn't be a normal name, so you can't suggest generic names...

I'd like to have some feedback about my card before I submit it; is anyone willing to look at it?
P.S. This isn't public, so it's legal, right?

I have a card, but I'm already confused about a potential rules complexity. Is there anyone hot on Dominion rules who'd be willing to give me a quick hand (just say so here I suppose). As an incentive, I think the issue involves blue dogs and pink elephants.

I'd be happy to.

Thanks, but I've asked Sir Peebles about it and decided to move away from the idea (it does indeed cause other cards to do weird things, which is what I'd feared).

I'm happy to, although I'm hardly an expert, and well this way I can play pass on the help, right :)?

...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.

It sounds like there are plenty of people willing to help by PM; I'll probably take WW up on his offer. It won't matter if one person out of fifty knows which card is yours.

Mountain Pass is the name of a winner from the previous Mini-Set Design contest, so I would try to avoid that name.  Also, Palace is the name of a Prosperity submission.  Admittedly, we should probably not worry about submitted names until one wins.

Also, don't use Grandee. I am reserving that one for myself.  :)

I was thinking it would be cool to have a card called "Khan" or "Khanate", possibly as a $6-cost, Action/Attack/Victory? Something to do with building up a big deck ("empire") for yourself while conquering or exacting tribute from your opponents? I think it could fit the flavor of Hinterlands well, and certainly the Mongolian presence outside Europe was very significant in the approximate timeframe of Dominion. For example, in establishing the Silk Roads!

Really just a vague conception though, and I don't really intend on submitting it, so if anyone wants to steal the idea and run with it be my guest.

I just noticed something on LastFootNote's rules (first message). Not very important... or is it ?


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.


Cards on-trash are only in Dark ages. Even if "on-buy" is in Prosperity (Mint) and "on-gain" is in Dark ages (Death cart), and not only in Hinterlands.

+ what's "would-gain" abilities ? It might be original "If you would gain this card, you may gain a Silver/a card costing less than this/a Scout instead" ^^

Chocolate is like victory points in Dominion. Both taste good but they'll hurt you if you eat too much of it instead of something else in your early days.

Would gain is Trader and is exactly the first thing you said :P

Well, no cards have a "Would gain" clause referring to themselves.  Currently the only "would gain" clauses are on Possession and Trader, and refer to gains of other cards.  There is no card which says "when you would gain me, gain Silver instead".

That's true. Such a clause would make a card extremely different though.

Well that particularly example is no good, but I could imagine a clause that says something like "When you would gain this, if you have a Gold in play, gain two less expensive Action cards instead."  But you know, with better wording.

OK, now I need to find a way to create a custom card, just so I can make this:

And if people include a blank line in the ballot, that's a vote for you!

If you can't think of one that fits, you should just grab a stock one.  There are a bunch of suggestions in this thread, and there is still this list.

I've already looked at the list.  The card just doesn't seem to want a name...  I know what it should be, but asking for a suggestion with what it should be will give it away when the name comes up...

There is a name that would work but it's already a dominion card...

I suppose that means that you'll pick a stock name?  I mean, if there is a card called "No Name" then I will have a decent idea of whose it is.  Like, 90% sure. :P

Unrelated: I now have too many ideas for Dark Ages.

Well then just them all together in one pile.  Sounds like Dark Ages to me.

Come to think of it, I am a bit worried that someone will make a pile like Knights which would be a real strain on the ballot space-wise, particularly if several people submit such ideas.

Due to the ridiculous amount of work that would be for me, I won't allow it. I will allow a maximum number of two cards for any given submission. Either a stack of Kingdom cards with two different cards in it or a Kingdom card and a supplementary card (which can have no more than 5 copies, maybe less depending on how many Victory cards we have).

Please do not read this as a challenge! I prefer single-card submissions.
