Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Trying out some fan-made cards (Investment and Voyage) with tweaks
« on: June 13, 2014, 02:20:42 am »The cards I played with were a modded version of Majordomo by Robz888 and Ring Leader by Powerman.
Here's my version of Majordomo that we played with:
Majordomo
$5 - Action
+1 Action. Discard a card. If it is a… Victory card: +2 Cards, Treasure card: +$3, Action card costing at least $2: +3 cards.
This worked well as a high-end $5 cost card in the two games I played (the original is $4 cost), but we didn't have any dual-type cards in those games. I think this would probably be a bit overpowered with dual-type cards. Of course, I could always specify "non-action victory card", and then there'd only be one OP edge case (Harem), and that's not so bad.
The only change I made to Ring leader was one suggested in the thread to make it look at 3 cards instead of 4:
Ring Leader
$3 - Action – Attack
+2 Cards.
When you buy or play this, each player (including you) reveals the top 3 card of his deck, discards one that you choose, and puts the rest back in an order he chooses.
I liked it pretty well, but the two people I was playing with didn't think it was very fun. (I think part of the reason they didn't like it was that one of the games we played with it also had Lookout which is similar except without the attack and they like Lookout better.)
I'll make the disclaimer of my playtesting that neither me nor the people I normally play with are very good players, and the people I play with aren't familar with the cards that I don't own (I only have Intrigue and Seaside so far). Just FYI.
Edit: The next cards I'm planning on playtesting are Patrol by Watno and Drift Bottle by ray. Also next time, I'll start a new thread...
Glad to see someone showed some interest in the card.
This card had been added to our game box already.
If you had not tried the card yet, here is the remade version: (remove the useless mat and unexpected combo with on-trash ability)
Drift Bottle
Type: Action
Cost: $4
+2 Cards.
You may gain a card with Drift Bottle Token on it and discard a card per $ it costs.
You may move the Drift Bottle token to a card costing between $3 and $6.
Setup: Put the Drift Bottle token on Silver.
