This week's mechanic is Tiny Isle, a mat for each player that note:
At the start of your turn, when there are more than five cards on this, move all cards in excess of five from this mat into your Hand.
Your task is to design a card or Horizontal that would work well in a set with this mat.
My main judging criteria is whether I would be excited to see the design in a Kingdom. Important factors:
* balance: is the card useful, but not overpowered at its price point (both in general and in a variety of Kingdoms)
* playability: the card is fun to play and works in more than one type of deck
* simplicity: this doesn't always mean fewer words; a card with lots of text that, once you understand it, can be easily and intuitively be played is better than one with four lines of text that is difficult to understand
* topicality: the card or Horizontal uses this mechanic in an interesting way
I'll provide a notice when the deadline is approaching.
Have fun! I look forward to seeing your entries.
