Dominion General Discussion / Re: House Rules?
« on: August 05, 2013, 05:51:14 pm »
Interesting thoughts ...
I agree about the tactical endgame - I realised after I posted it that it wasn't a great solution.
One thing I had wondered is if there could be any balancing in the starting hand. I had thought of a number of possibilities - different starting cards, different number of starting cards, a free low value card for later players, but again nothing seemed to sit right.

Dominion General Discussion / House Rules?
« on: August 05, 2013, 02:46:08 pm »
I'm just wondering whether anyone has any house rules for their own games of dominion - two things I've been thinking about:
1) Whether it is possible to make curses/ruins slightly less powerful (especially in 3-4 player games). I just can't see many occasions when you can ignore the likes witch or marauder in multiplayer games, and would like to make it more of a choice. One thing I'm toying with is having less curses/ruins (e.g. 5 per player), not that that would make a huge difference. (I do understand the logic of 2(p-1)).
2) Whether there is a way of balancing out the first player advantage. Could it be as simple as letting the round finish after the end conditions have been met?
This isn't about saying that the way things are is wrong, just about adapting to our preferences - just wondered if anyone had some ready made solutions?

Variants and Fan Cards / Crone
« on: June 19, 2013, 06:18:12 pm »
Card idea:
Crone, $0, Action
+1 Buy
+$1
-1 VP
--------
When you gain this +1 Buy, +$1
You may only buy one Crone per turn
--------
When attempting to trash this card you must discard a treasure in order to successfully trash
Basically this allows you to buy something $1 than you can currently afford, but at the cost of a bad card in your deck and being more difficult to trash. If you just gain it'd also give you an extra buy. You could get multiple if you can gain and buy it. Good synergy with Bridge/Garden type cards.
First card idea so be gentle!
