Title: Dark Ages Reveal: Would you rather?
Post by: werothegreat on June 14, 2012, 02:45:32 pm
So while I can certainly wait another 8 weeks to find out exactly what Dark Ages has to offer, I think it would make for more interesting speculation if Donald X revealed a little more information, other than just that there will be 35 Kingdom cards, and they deal with the trash and upgrading.  I'm not asking for the content of the cards to be revealed - that would be what we speculate on.  What would be interesting to know would be a) some of the names of the new cards b) how many cards of each cost there are or c) how many cards of each type there are.  Surely knowing one of these would be harmless enough?  I seem to remember that well before the Hinterlands release, we knew that there would be 3 reactions, 3 victory cards, and 3 treasures.

None of the above. I'm happy to wait for the three-a-day reveal.

Eh, Donald has said what he's doing, I don't see compelling reason to change that, just because we're itchy.

Feel free to work out what you would have liked, but it's not happening. I flirted with doing some kind of low-information teaser a week before the previews, but decided against it.

You knew that Hinterlands had 3 reactions etc. because that was something I could think of to say about the set in the blurb. It had when-gain and uh what else can I put here? I had plenty of things to say this time.

D:  I'm sad and happy at the same time.  If I had a time machine, forget Hitler, I'd use it to go directly to the release of each new Dominion expansion.

To this day, I still can't figure out which way batteries are supposed to point in circuit diagrams.

Rather the # of each type. That way, we can find out any new type, and make some accurate speculations on why there are so many cards.

If you're really jones-ing for more info and haven't noticed:


If you expect a lack of choices in Dark Ages then you are in for a surprise.
