We are selling two subscriptions, Silver and Gold.
When you buy Silver, you subscribe to Intrigue, Seaside, Prosperity, Cornucopia, Hinterlands, Guilds.
Gold is Silver plus Alchemy, Dark Ages, Adventures, Empires.
You can play with the Base Set for free (2nd Edition).
If you have a subscription, you will be able to invite others to play with those cards; also when they don't have a subscription.
For every transaction you will have to pay a transaction fee of €0.35.
If you're buying from the EU, you will also have to pay VAT.
The percentage depends on the country you're buying from.
Subscriptions always start immediately, and you subscribe for at least one month.
On Jan 1st the Gold variant costs €0.10 per day, and Silver costs €0.07 per day.
We are not selling promo cards. On some future day we will use them for some promotional purpose, but we haven't found the time yet to define or program that purpose. Until that day, everyone buying any subscription can just play with them all.
If you "owned" any expansions on Making Fun, you will get a subscription to those expansions for free in 2017.
Upgrading
While the price for buying is very straightforward, the price for upgrading is a little more complicated.
The client will just show you the price when you're about to buy, but for the curious here is how it works under the hood:
We assigned a weight to all the expansions. We will subtract what you already had from the price.
Alchemy, Cornucopia and Guilds have a weight of 1.
Intrigue, Seaside, Prosperity and Hinterlands have a weight of 2.
Dark Ages, Adventures and Empires have a weight of 3.
You are paying €0.005 per weight per day when buying Gold, €0.007 per weight per day when buying Silver.
Example
Suppose you had all sets on Making Fun, which was everything except for Empires. But you'd also want to play with Empires in 2017.
You purchase the Gold subscription and are only paying for the difference, which is 3 * €0.005 * 365 = €5.47.
Add the transaction fee of €0.35 and possibly VAT.
Example 2
Suppose you only bought Intrigue and Dark Ages on Making Fun, but want to have some more expansions and buy Silver for 2017.
Intrigue is subtracted from the weight, so you are paying for 8 out of 10. It will cost 8 * €0.007 * 365 = €20.44.
Add the transaction fee of €0.35 and possibly VAT.
The fact that you already were subscribed to Dark Ages has no influence on this price, because it's not part of what you're buying.
In 2017, you can play with all expansions from Silver plus Dark Ages.
Example 3
You have nothing from Making fun, but buy a Silver subscription for 50 days. However, after 10 days you realize you'd much rather play with all the expansions and you decide to buy Gold subscription for 50 days.
Under the hood you are buying 50 * 20 = 1000 weight-days, but you already owned 40 * 10 = 400 of those. You are paying for the remaining 600, which will cost you 600 * €0.005 = €3.00
Add the transaction fee of €0.35 and possibly VAT.
