- Instructions can have you set aside a card with tokens on it, using a wording like "freeze [this] with # Ice Tokens"; e.g. "Freeze the top card of your deck with 2 Ice Tokens."
- At the start of your turn, remove 1 Ice Token from each card you own that is frozen with Ice tokens on it.
- Once the last token is removed, the card is put into the players discard pile immediately.
For examples of cards using the mechanic, refer to FCMW 9's post or Gazbag's Fan Expansion Dominion: Ice Age.
The Dominion: Ice Age post was created more than 7 years ago. Since then a lot has happened in Dominion: We've got new expansions, new mechanics, and second edition of cards. We have night cards, next time-effects, Traits, Loots, Rewards, Allies, ... you name it!
What cold magic can Ice Tokens work in these new use cases? Thus this week's challenge:
Design any form of card that uses the Ice Token mechanic and fits into the world of "modern Dominion", ideally using any newer mechanic or effects.
Reminder of expansions since 2017:
- Nocturne
- Renaissance
- Renaissance
- Renaissance
- Menagerie
- Allies
- Plunder
- Guilds 2E
- Cornucopia 2E
- Prosperity 2E
- Seaside 2E
- Hinterlands 2E
Rules & Suggestions
- At least one card in your submission must include the Ice Token mechanic.
- Your submission can consist of multiple cards (Horses, non-supply-cards of your own creation, rotating split piles etc. pp.)
- Your submission must include an image of the card(s), at least a mock-up. I prefer to have something visual along the cards name and theme (and of course to see how the text fits on the card).
- Think of the vibe, images, themes (like seafaring, reactions, cold), mechanics (like next time, Loot, Night phase) and other effects introduced with in recent cards.
Submission Info & Judgment Criteria
- Ingenuity in the use of Ice Tokens and recent themes and instructions, fun, balance and versatility; in that order.
- The contest will end in roughly 7 days, I will post a 24h warning.
- If you want to submit a different card, please do so in a new post and mark your old one accordingly, so I know which one to judge.
I hope this challenge will help you cool down during these hot days.
