Title: Victory Card design considerations?
Post by: DooWopDJ on March 22, 2019, 02:01:53 pm
Was there ever any consideration of putting a Victory Point value (similar to the Treasure Value in the upper corners of the Victory Cards? (yes, there would be ? for those accumulative Victory cards like Gardens, etc).

I will probably at least adapt to turning the 2nd Edition versions upside down so that the lower right would be the upper left so I can see the VP value in my hand.

Just a thought (not a complaint).

No, no interest. A version of Base Cards put VP in the lower right corners, but there's no point to that.

Well the version that did that did not have the VP value in the middle of the card like the second edition cards do. So there was a point to having it in the corner for those. Same for the treasures.

Makes the art look nicer that way; but harder to quickly see how many points stuff is worth.
