Title: Blurry gif on Dominion Welt

Can't really see much, but if you go to http://www.dominion-welt.de/ ... well, see what you can see.

And Donald X is cool with it, before you start shaking your fingers at me.

Meaning, I didn't mind you linking to it. Because there's nothing I can do about it. So at some point someone would be linking to it.

That you can't read it, or that it was posted?  Guys, this isn't a full spoiler, not by a longshot.  What it does show is so completely jpeg'd that you can't really tell anything important.  It's really a teaser more than a spoiler.

I can read a 2$ token, so i guess there will be a token that gives +2$

Both. I'm saddened Donald has to deal with this 'leak' and I am also saddened I cannot read it.

There is no actual card information to be gleaned here. However, you can look at the shiny trinkets and mats. :D

(http://i.imgur.com/YS4lp75.png)

You can see tokens that give +1 card, +$2 coins, etc.. I think we all knew about the existence of these already though. It's just cool to see them. The mats are color coded, and perhaps the tokens being color coded is having to do with player turn order.

The box art seems to be red, instead of grayish. My favorite color is red and this might be my favorite Dominion set (it has to beat Dark Ages).

All that being said, I wish this 'leak' never happened.

And seriously. I wanna buy this set already. :( Is there no pre-order?

Gibbs just called, claiming the first was "Amulet". Well, german for Amulet: "Amulett". I'm astounded as to all the things those CSI guys can do.

Edit: Should probably actually use spoilers.

We knew there would be tokens. We knew there would be a player mat. We knew there would be player chits (the tokens?) in player colors (Donald may have only said this on BGG).

The middle card is clearly Gandalf cosplaying as Carmen Sandiego. Does German have a single word for that?

Also, I glean the information that one of the upgrading cards, possibly Page, gives you a card or something and $something, Amulett is a Duration that has three different effects (one of which is +$) and maybe you choose one, and Crossplay Gandalf is a Reserve card.

I Read a few reviews on amazon, and itseems to include nothing but Governer and Prince, and some half-heartedd "bonuses", like dividers for base cards. Apparently the quality is very low. There were only two or three reviews, so i might be going to conclusions too early, but those at least hated it.

It's Sandiegandalf in Bavaria, and Gandiego in the rest of Germany.

The one on the right is a traveller costing $2, so it has to be either page or peasant.
It gives +1 buy and some amount of coins, probably $1 so it's not strictly better than Woodcutter.
So from the effect and the image I'd guess it's page.
No idea why it has such a long name though.

Gandalf seems to be a reserve card that is a cantrip when played.

Donald having revealed Hero and me thinking he will not reveal more of these lines, my 'guess' (also regarding the 'high' letter - is there a term for this in English? - in the middle of the name) is, it could be Kleinbauer.
Title: Re: Blurry gif on Dominion Welt

This 'leak' is cracking me up. 

The bright side is I don't think it's even possible to guess what the center card does without seeing it.  That's a really cool card, too.

No, there's usualyl just a new line for every option, which is not that stupid.

It's more that it sounds funny.  And has the German word for "ghost" in it.  And has a Q.

Well, a medieval page was essentially an apprentice squire, which was itself an apprentice knight.
So, whilst it is a short word in English, it actually encapsulates a pretty complex concept (a pre-apprentice knight).

What's the German word for "Douchebag"?

Google suggests "dummkopf", but I'm not quite sure that captures quite the correct meaning.

"Dummkopf" is basically equivalent to "dummy" in English.  It's something a New England Republican dad would say to his kid when he screws up.
