Title: I just ordered Innovation!
Post by: popsofctown on February 19, 2013, 01:52:37 pm

It comes in Thursday.  Dougz should ask for a commission imo.

I just ordered it too, mostly because it seems easy to play, doesn't have the potential to make players really mad, and my friends won't play Dominion with me anymore :(

If you think innovation doesn't have the potential to make players really mad, you need to hang out in Age 8 more.

It can't possibly be as bad as a Torturer or Ghost Ship pin, which has caused more than one of my friends to quit Dominion.

I guess not.  It's more like destroying someone's lego tower than it is... waterboarding.

One word:  Fission.

I don't mind Fission nearly as much as Skyscrapers.  At least you get to keep the rest of the stack!

I mean, if you're referring to this nuking part of it, that's really not that bad, the nuke is symmetric.

True enough.  And yeah, I smacked someone with Skyscrapers the other day.  On a stack of like 6 splayed right.  It felt a bit evil.

I would like to see someone skyscrape someone's beautifully industrialized board to pieces.  Alas it seems a difficult to realize, because they will be tucking at age 6, before clocks come out.

As a side note, why do skyscrapers destroy stacks anyway in a thematic sort of way?  Maybe the inference is all the opponent's people abandon their craft and come to your city to work in the skyscraper?

It makes no sense.  It should be called wrecking ball or airplane.

I figured that since you invented the skyscraper, those old inefficient buildings were demolished to make way for the beautiful new skylines (that your opponent then has to build).

I think I gave up on Innovation being flavorful as soon as I attacked someone with Medicine.

You don't attack someone with medicine, you demand that they take it. It's for their own good, after all.

Because medicine never hurt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iatrogenesis) anyone.
