You are in your buy phase. You have $5 to spend and 1 buy. How do you get to buying a Province?

I spend my 3 coin tokens and buy a Province.

How about 2 Provinces?

I spend my 13 coin tokens, buy a Travelling Fair and Two Provinces.

Let's Discuss ... / Re: Let's Discuss Adventures Cards: Wine Merchant

« on: March 28, 2016, 02:21:48 am »

When my opponents are angry, I tell them: "You should have bought W(h)ine Merchant."


It's a little better than Baron, because it doesn't require to have estate in your hand,a although the 2$ penalty nulifies it. Thepenalty is pretty annoying if you ask be, because 1 Wine Merchant is just a 5$ Woodcutter if you get him back from the tavern the turn you play him. But it's good when you have a really bad hand, you can just play that treasure and get him back at least. In Big Money, this card won't have a much of use in late game (since you barely get the 2$ unspent, unless you have 10$=<). But in engines, it works so amazing as Krieg and Wero said already.

Smithy gives you +3/6 cards.
Ranger gives you +0/5 cards, but gives you 1/2 buys.
Two buys trade for one card.
I'd rather have smithy in early game than this.

This just can be used as token flipper for other cards.

The +buy really helps you if you draw a lot of money cards.

Let's Discuss ... / Re: Let's Discuss Adventures Events: Raid

« on: March 13, 2016, 04:27:54 am »

-card token doesn't hurt that much. Unless you're going to buy Raid every turn, in which it's just an "urchin" that gain you silvers.
As silver gainer, it works quite nice, at beginning it usually gains a silver or two but when you have more silvers, it's just terryfying for your opponents to see how many silvers you have.
Feodum is great with this, although as already pointed out, masterpiece is better later in the game.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Building: Something you can spend money on besides buying cards and events

« on: March 08, 2016, 03:04:41 pm »

What about an ability that alters the game in a non-game-breaking way?

Here are some examples for the finished Building:

'at the start of your Buy phase, you may discard up to X Victory Cards from your hand for $1 each.'
'at the start of your turn, look at the top card of your deck. Discard it, put it back, or exchange it for a card from your hand'
'at the start of your turn, Look at the top X cards of your deck. Discard the revealed Curses and Victory cards and put the rest back in any order'
'During Cleanup, you may shuffle an Action card you have in play into your deck'

I think these abilities could work as upgrades. For example Level 0 gives you nothing, level 1 gives you X, level 2 gives you Y etc. until you get all of them and get a vp bonus for completing it.

Are you sure? It's still called Scout, so by definition it must be terrible.

But now, it's strictly better than curse!

Let's Discuss ... / Re: Let's Discuss Adventures Events: Pathfinding

« on: March 06, 2016, 09:13:42 am »

It's worth it's cost. It can be very powerful, especially with nonterminal drawers like laboratory, lost city, and also with cantrips

The cards you want to target for pathfinding are nonterminal drawers or cards which you have a lot. This event really likes Magpie, since it gains copies of itself, and when you play it with token on it, it's basicially a lab+draw treasure or gain copy of lab.

Lost Arts likes this event. You can now upgrade terminal drawers into nonterminal drawers that draw more cards. You can make nonterminal HG that draws 5 cards, and you may play another one. Imagine something like this KC'd.

Let's Discuss ... / Re: Let's Discuss Adventures Cards: Page (and etc.)

« on: March 06, 2016, 06:00:01 am »

I usually take one page, unless it's a colony board, where I want 2 of them, and in rare cases 3. 1 goes for champion and rest goes for hero which gains me plats.

Sifters like Warehouse, Cellar, Scout and deck discarders, Scavenger and Messenger. Oh, and chancellor too.

Treasure Hunter is very weak, unless you're going for feodums. Warrior can be a good trashing attack and drawer, but Hero is more useful on boards with more exotic treasures like platinum.

Dowsing Rod
Action
Cost: 3

+$2
When you gain, trash or play this card: Put it on the top of your deck.
-----------
(This is not in supply)

Dowser
Action
Choose one: Gain Dowsing Rod and put it on top of your deck, place -1 card token on top of your deck and take -coin token ; Play any number of Dowsing Rods from your hand.
-----------------
When playing with this, place Dowsing Rods pile next to supply.

Now both are desirable.

Road Builders V2 - - Action-Reserve
Put this on your tavern mat.
--------------------
When Road Builders is on your tavern mat: All cards cost 2$ less during your turn.
When you buy a card, remove Road Builders from your tavern mat.

Now you have quarry + highway, but if you want to stack it, you'll need to 'invest' (by having multiple rounds of not buying anything.)

This is just a suggestion of what I am trying to say. Maybe this is completely insane, but I hope it's clear. I think it's different enough from bridge and quarry to use, it has a downside that could be interesting, but also a cool upside. (Imagine a village with two of these in your hand. Suddenly you can buy a province for 4!) You'd want some of these, but also not too many, I think.

Remove is a little vague. Discard fits here. Anyways I think this is more of something that doesn't support megaturns, since it's just one-use. Interesting concept though.

Road Builders V2 - - Action-Reserve
Put this on your tavern mat.
--------------------
When Road Builders is on your tavern mat: All cards cost 1$ less during your turn. +1 Buy
When you buy at least one card during your buy phase, remove one Road Builders from your Tavern Mat.

A bit different, could also be interesting.

This concept is very interesting. You buy something for less, then if you want, you can buy another card, but it costs +.

I am just brainstorming out loud here

Out of the topic, but I just became curious how DXV. comes up with card ideas.

This means you can put it on your tavern mat and immediately use it.

I find it a card that's just too similar of market + highway to be interesting. There is nothing wrong with it (although even at 6 it sounds cheap), it's just... to much of the same.

The initial concept was to make reserve-bridge. There's always possibily of removing the +card/+buy/+action when played, though.

You may call this at any point during your turn. When you call this, +buy and all cards cost 1$ less until the end of this turn.

Road Builders is far too weak. It is worse than Bridge in three ways: no extra buy, no extra coin and a limitation of the cost reduction to only one card.

It is still an reserve -cost. Maybe "When you call this, +buy and all cards cost less" or "When you call this, +buy and name a card. That card costs less"

The first version of your card is basically just a Reserve copper. When you buy two identical cards it is a Reserve Silver. Only when you buy three cards it is a Reserve Gold and the price of 6$ seems justified. Sounds overall pretty weak to me.

Just think about Bridge, at least early in the game you often use it to buy two different cards. Your reserve-ified Bridge gets rid of this asset of Bridge. When you buy only one card with Bridge it is a terminal Silver but when you buy two it is already a terminal Gold with an extra buy.

There's always option of making it a cantrip and costing less. How about this:

Road Builders V2 - - Action-Reserve
+card
+action
+buy
Put this on your tavern mat.
--------------------
When you call this, +buy and all cards cost 1$ less.

As worded, Road Builders is a one-shot Market Square. It doesn't tell you when to call it, just what it does when you do.

Sometimes you'd want to call this during your action phase. Sometimes, on your buy phase. The first case would be with TfB cards,  and some of remodelers (if you call many of them). The second would be after using your TfBs.

Let's Discuss ... / Re: Let's Discuss Adventures Cards: Miser

« on: March 03, 2016, 10:03:31 am »

Miser is good for slog games and games where you want to keep hitting a certain amount of like Duchy/Duke games. (There are still better cards for hitting though.) If you can get +action token for him, well, here you can easily get a lot of money by playing one card.

Miser likes Copper-giving junking attacks. They just make you have a better chance of coliding Miser with Copper. If you can trash down to 1-Miser-Deck, then you're surely netting a province each turn if you have 8 coppers on tavern. You can boost province buys by use of cantrip +buys and teachers/lost arts +action token on miser.

I prefer having two misers. The more misers you have, the faster you can put your coppers onto tavern, but getting too much of them will soon make you a hand of misers(+estates) without coppers.

« on: March 03, 2016, 07:31:43 am »

Good idea! I'd call it a hybrid of miser and forager. But still, it's has a weak trash, when you place a copper there, you're generally giving up that 1$ of your economy. I mean, when you use steward/chapel, you trash more cards, no? With forager you can get extra coins for trashing estates if copper is trashed first. At first thought, possession might just place your provinces into the mat, but what's the problem? All you have is to take them back on your normal turn. But now, the problem is when there are curses on that mat. You're generally going to take extra cards which you have to give back/trash. Still, points for the idea!
