Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Creating new cards for alchemy 8 to be exact.

« on: June 24, 2018, 03:18:13 pm »

While I agree with the others about the changes that are still necessary, this is much better than the original.  Thanks for taking people's advice to heart!

I'd quite like to see it say "Take <debt> equal to its total cost in <coin>, <debt> and <potion>", just because I think it'd be cool to see all three symbols together.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Splice, a digital-only Event (or variant) that lets you "breed" actions

I'd had the same idea; this was my phrasing, inspired more by Prince than BoM:

Royal Wedding
Action - $6
Once per game, set aside two different action cards from your hand.
Each time you play this, play both the set-aside Actions in either order, setting each aside again when you discard it from play. (You cannot play a card again it if you fail to set it aside on a turn you play it.)

You may turn a complete set of face-up Copper, Silver and Gold cards face down for the turn, for $6.

I wanted to do something that used the turn-face-down mechanic from Nocturne.  Does this work, do you think?

and Monopoly for the mechanics.

Now there's a thought.  Though it falls down pretty much immediately, because Ruins for the browns, fair enough, but then why are the best spaces purple?

for instance, "Slivers", were changed to remove the help for the other player, and there was major outcry because it was a defining attribute of the card type (to the players).

What.

Right, that settles it.  I'm retroactively not playing M:TG for the last fifteen years in protest.

When you play this, propose a card. If it is, like, totally awesome, play this as if it was that card.  This is that card until it leaves play.  If not, bogus.

So, you've said here and elsewhere that Adventures began as a treasure set, and that Durations were visible the thing you could revisit, and that's why it ended up as a sequel of sorts to Seaside.  You've said yourself that Empires started out as a sequel to Prosperity, so we got more VP tokens, as well as the novel elements that it inspired.

Anyway, I count myself among the people who are sad that we'll never see more official potion-cost cards, but I'd still love to see your sequel to Alchemy, even if it has to take some other form.

Dominion Legacy! That might be pretty cool. Although some of the fun of Legacy games is that you don't know what's coming next.

Open Box C.  Perform the instructions on the card inside, then destroy this card.

Other Games / Re: Dominion clones

« on: February 08, 2018, 08:08:37 am »

I wouldn't consider Concordia a deckbuilder. You are technically building a deck, but the fact that you draw it all at once and you can trigger your "reshuffles" with an action makes it work completely differently than pretty much any other game mentioned here.

Agreed - this and Century: Spice Road fall into a category which I've seen called "Hand-builders".  Definitely they owe a debt to Dominion, but it's probably unfair to call them clones.

Edit: sorry, I missed ipofanes' comment.

I recently played Don't Turn Your Back which was definitely a deck-builder, but it felt different to Dominion, and I'd happily play it again.  It certainly didn't have the thing that Legendary has where the other players get annoyed at me for calling things Coppers and Silvers.

Altenburger also wanted the world champion for this coming year to get to make a card. We said no! We are willing to put their face on a card, that is as far as we will go. However, as it happens, Adam is the current world champion. So a world champion did get to design a card.

So... if I want to get to design a card, I should ask you a question to which the answer is no?  Hmmm.

Please can I design a card?

This is a great tool - thanks for making it!

As a feature suggestion, would it be possible to let us specify an expansion symbol?

Yes, 8 is a complex number.

But it's not made of baklava, which is only slightly disappointing.

Autoplay plays coppers when Grand Market is in the supply and the other treasures produce at least $6

Agreed - the control you have over shuffling would make it a more interesting mechanic to play with.

I'd also point out that if you do have a deck which draws itself often, then it's thematic that it should thaw out faster.  Industrialisation causing climate change!

Great idea!  I'm another person who thinks that cards should thaw once per shuffle, and that the number of tokens should be scaled down a bit to compensate.  Perhaps "after you form a deck from your discard pile" might be a better wording?  I'd also say that frozen cards shouldn't come into your deck at the end of the game, since it makes for more interesting decisions about when you think the game might end and it makes it less broken if you're Rediscovering Provinces.
