Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Dominion: Mercenaries

Neat concept, can't wait to see more.
The reason there are only 5 is because they were originally a kingdom pile of all of them (all 5, only the top card could be bought or gained, like knights). Then I decided to make them sideways cards. I will make more, but that’s not exactly at the top of my to do list.

You need to fix the image for Royal Guard, it is not finished.
It is. Only half the link is working though. If you scroll right you’ll see that half the link is black, just text. It isn’t working right.

Also, not sure it's the best to have a type match another card's name, but not sure what else could work. Hireling is already taken as well...
How about Henchman?

Broker is the rival version of Canal (meaning that everybody can get Canal whereas only one player can get Broker) so it cannot literally be strictly better but Canal is nonetheless the benchmark so this is far too cheap.
Ok. Do you think $5 or $6 would be a good cost?

Is Canal a fan card? If so, can you reply with a link?

I like Trapsmith. You might want to add the usual handsize attack clauses to prevent that somebody could discard down to 2.
Will do.

Without wanting to judge the interesting subtleties that this mixed pile creates, Chute is problematic. As it is mainly useful for spiking in the opening this can often be a free gift for the first player.
Good point. Maybe having Ladder on top would work?

Variants and Fan Cards / Dominion: Allies
« on: November 05, 2018, 01:32:58 pm »
Here’s one of my mini expansions: Allies are a sideways card type. They go in your sideways deck, and start in the supply. When you buy an Ally, it goes in front of you, like an Artifact, and you benefit from it while it’s in front of you. Another player can buy an Ally from in front of you, and then they put it in front of them. There is only one copy of each Ally.

This is my actual entry:

Split pile: Chute/Ladder (pays homage to Chutes and Ladders)
Chute:
This is less the mechanics than the message of the game. Chute gives something nice (representing how you feel instant gratification when doing bad), but gives -1 VP (representing that doing bad is bad in the long run).
https://shemitz.net/static/dominion3/?title=Chute&description=%243.%20When%20you%20play%20this%2C%20set%20it%20aside%20and%20return%20it%20to%20your%20deck%20at%20the%20end%20of%20the%20game.%0A-%0A-1%25&type=Treasure-Curse&credit=Google%20Images&price=%243&preview=&type2=&picture=&color0=6&color1=2&size=0

(I know the formatting is messed up but if it’s normal you can’t read it)

Quote
Chute (Treasure-Curse, cost: $3)
$3. When you play this, set it aside and return it to your deck at the end of the game.

Ladder:
Again, this is the message rather than the mechanics. The less evil there is in the world (set aside), the more ladders are worth.

Ladder (victory, cost $5)
Worth 1VP per Chute in the supply.

Setup: Place a Chute down, than a Ladder on top, then a Chute on top of that, until there are 6 (4 in a 2 player game) Chutes, with a Ladder directly on top of each.

I think it can be relatively cheap because all the players will be constantly fighting over it. Also it costs 5 debt, one for each bank loan you take at the start of the Life game if you choose college.


You're only really supposed to have one entry into the contest. What VioletCLM meant by this:
If your idea is better served as multiple card-shaped objects for whatever reason--heirlooms, split piles, prizes, non-supply piles, whatever--sure, go for it, that's fine.
is that if you need to make more than one card to make your idea work, that's okay, not that you should have multiple entries. Something like your Life College Education/Educated thing works.

I’m posting these all as separate entries. You’re allowed to do that.

(Moreover, even if you use some other Action-replayer on Wish, like Throne Room, you still don't get two cards. That's what the "if you did" in the Wish card text means.)
You’d still get +2 Actions though.

(A d4 is a 4-sided die.)

I played with that card and we thought that it was too strong. It should cost $ 4, because every play is literally:

+ ½ Card
+ 1 ½ Action
+ ½ $
+ ½ Buy

In the worst case, this is +1 Action +2 Buys, but it is often a Lab or a Peddler, which are both very strong cards.

If you playtested this card, I will accept your insight and tips. Thank you.

I know this is not the right place to post this but I am a Forum Dominion Strategy noob. How do I post images of my cards?
Here's one way:
1. Save it to your computer
2. Go to imgur and upload the image
3. Optional, but highly suggested: resize the image to around 500 pixels
4. Right-click it and click 'copy image address.
5. To insert the image here, click the image icon while posting a reply. This text will appear: (img)(/img) but with [ ] instead of ( ). Paste the image address inside.
6. Add this inside the first set of brackets like this: (img width=255) or any other number around there, but not in bold.
I started typing this before ConMan replied, but thought it would a shame to waste it  :).


Thanks but is there any way to do it on an iPad?
