You probably need to sort by cost, too. Otherwise a set with more expensive cards might show up as stronger.

« on: August 07, 2024, 11:58:22 pm »Hindsight being what it is, had they initially been big sets, what would you have wanted to do differently? And if you never had small sets, what would a larger Alchemy have looked like?For Cornucopia & Guilds 2E, was there ever any concern that either of the two halves would have more content than the other? Cornucopia having 5 removed cards to Guilds' 3, for example.No; the idea is to not ever split them back up. So e.g., one Reward uses Coffers, and that's fine.

« on: August 04, 2024, 10:57:16 pm »I'm the same way. I'm not even a big fan of the Auger piles. But the nice thing is I have 9 other piles to choose from.Not when I don't play with it, which I dont.Most contemporary games with deckbuilding have as much to do with Dominion as a game with worker placement has to do with Caylus.
I still feel like there's something off with a game like Dune: Imperium that makes it so I can't get into it. I don't like the revolving market, it makes me feel like it's too luck-based what cards are available on each player's turn.
Does Black Market make you feel similarly about Dominion?

Speaking of 2e cards. Which got the most resistance from playtesters compared to leaving 1e cards in?

As I'm waiting for the update pack, I didn't order one. I didn't look at who the seller was on Amazon either.

« on: March 19, 2024, 11:03:29 pm »The only landscape cards with different backs, iirc, are Boons and Hexes. The rest are designed to be chosen at random so have the generic back.https://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/File:Ally-back.jpg
Ah right, because of Liaisons they need to be identifiable. We just used those Friday and I already forgot. Shows how much I look at the back of the cards!

« on: June 11, 2020, 11:25:36 pm »I’ve never played online. I own everything up to Renaissance.I miss playing Dominion in person.
why? You must really like shuffling.
I own 5 sets and if in the same room I'd rather each person get on their own device and play online.
Yes, it is difficult to find people who are interested in playing.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Donald X. announced a new expansion?!
« on: November 03, 2019, 03:26:42 pm »Worth 1 VP for every 5 Treasures in your deck.If it’s a hoax, I spent a lot of months playtesting a fake expansion. I sure hope it’s real.Dammit, Footnote! Why do you have to tease us? I assume you're not allowed to tell us anything. Maybe just one little thing?
I can tell you something: The letter "a" appears in the name or text of at least one card in the expansion. (One of the playtesters told me this when I sent them an email yesterday.)
Confirming an Action or treAsure or cArd reference in the set.
So much for the all-Victory Card Expansion
You can still have your expansion.

Rumor has it. Tickets go on sale tomorrow.
They announced the final trailer drops tomorrow night so that would align well with a “tickets on sale now” tag.

Rules Questions / Re: Enchantress on a Ghosted Enchantress
« on: February 07, 2018, 12:09:27 am »
Ghost:
Reveal cards from your deck until you reveal an Action. Discard the other cards and set aside the Action. At the start of your next turn, play it twice.
Enchantress:
Until your next turn, the first time each other player plays an Action card on their turn, they get +1 Card and +1 Action instead of following its instructions.
At the start of your next turn,
+2 Cards
----
So your Ghost is holding your Enchantress, and your opponent plays Enchantress.
Now, because they have Enchantress in play:
Play 1. +1 Card, +1 Action
Play 2. Until your next turn, the first time each other player plays an Action card on their turn, they get +1 Card and +1 Action instead of following its instructions.
At the start of your next turn,
+2 Cards

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Nocturne: Yay or nay?
« on: January 07, 2018, 09:47:46 pm »I feel like Haunted Mirror and Secret Cave might be problematic*. The rest could probably be used with a lot of different Kingdoms.I'm a little disappointed it doesn't have events. I love how you can add them to every set.I too was hoping that there would be "set independent" components here, with the top candidate being Heirlooms. For example, P/C don't require Prosperity cards, and Shelters doesn't require Dark Ages cards. However, it turns out that they need to be paired with their respective Kingdom cards.
I did inquire about just how independent they could be as a variant to have more of the other Kingdom cards be non-Nocturne stuff, while still having many to all of the Heirlooms....
