I haven't played any of the games, but I watched all the Game Theories about it. Does that count?

No. This thread is only for real FNAF fans. Get out!  :)

Dominion General Discussion / Thematic Kingdom Design Contest
« on: May 27, 2016, 01:23:48 pm »
Inspired by Ackmodual, I've decided to create a Thematic Kingdom Design Contest. Please submit a kingdom and a name for the kingdom by June 27 by posting it here, at which point we will vote for the best. The prize will be +50 respect (lame, I know).

Once the voting will begin, the kingdoms will be evaluated not only on theme, but also on playability, though theme will be the most important. Users will be able to vote after (hopefully) playing all the kingdoms and then deciding which one they like the most.

Oh, I just noticed  :-[. I'll just re-post it in the right place.

I do not have card sleeves (READ: too lazy to put them on)...

Sleeving your cards probably won't be as bad as you think .  I started playing a little after Guilds was released and I had all of the expansions before I sleeved anything.  I thought it was going to be this agonizing, day-long project, but it really wasn't.  Just make sure you have the space and organization so that when you start sleeving you can get in a rhythm.  Minimizing stops and starts is key.
Seconded. Sleeving all of the cards does not take that long. Throw on a movie or a couple episodes of a show and you are golden.

Yeah, I guess I will get around to it eventually. Still, the cost of the sleeves is equal to at least one more Dominion, and I still don't have Intrigue or Alchemy.

The method I use is to sleeve cards as we gain them. It slows down the game slightly, you might wear down the cards uneqally, and you'll still have six unsleeved Bureaucrats after 4 years of playing Dominion, but you'll find yourself with an essentially sleeved set before you can say Goons.

The people I play with already go nuts if I play more than say, 10 or 20 action cards in a turn, so that would be a great way to have them even more annoyed. And it has been statistically proven that annoyed Dominion players buy 17% more attack cards and are 52% more likely to pick the attack options on cards with choices. Thanks for the ideas, though. I will certainly sleeve them eventually.

Okay, we can talk about FNAF. I've only played a few times, horror games aren't real my cup of tea. But man, I know a desperate franchise when I see one!

Any of the games past the first are super sad. They're elaborating on the plot no one cares about. This also spawned one of the worst fanbases there are, as fan art and fanfictions for a game with virtually no plot have eclipsed the Internet.

Just make one game and be done. Does Minecraft have a sequel?

You can say the sequels are light on plot. But having played all four (and plan on getting the next one) I can say the game-play is better with each game. They each rely on different skills.

Also, the whole plot line to large extent is a mystery, which I think makes it more exciting.

Artificer/Menagerie is nice. With Menagerie, you really need discarders is you want to play multiple +3 cards Menageries (my record is 5 in a turn).

The picture just shows how worthless it is. Three miners in the whole mine (which is small, you can see the beginning of it) and only one of them is actually mining. The other two are pushing a cart. Seriously, one of those guys is going to get his feet run over.

I do not have card sleeves (READ: too lazy to put them on), but am obsessed with keeping my cards and boxing is as close to mint condition as possible while using them a lot. We could create a poll "Yes/No the quality of my Adventures cards was lower than for other expansions I bought.

Jester is so much fun. Everything about the card is amazing. It's the closest thing to a perfect card in Dominion. Next game I will start both players with 10 Jesters, and we will play from there  :).

Okay, I'll stop gushing about Jester now.

Let's Discuss ... / Re: Let's Discuss Dark Ages: Count
« on: May 24, 2016, 04:03:18 pm »
  • What are good Kingdoms for Count? Bad Kingdoms?
  • Is Count a good trasher? Is it outclassed by other trashers, or does it hold its own?
  • Does the cost of Count potentially hold it down from becoming very good?

Count is good in kingdoms with no trashing or +coin. It doesn't really thrive if those are easy to get, but you might pick up one just because it can do both.

I think Count is an excellent trasher. I remember once I was building an engine were I quickly drew my deck, but I had only junk. I managed to trash all 10 of my starting cards with Count.

It can have a high opportunity cost. It all boils down to how much +coin and trashing is present in the kingdom, and at what cost.

The art is amazing, though.

That's unfortunate but understandable. Thanks for the insight.

Question for those who've owned Adventures for a while without sleeving cards: Do your Adventure cards wear enough that they become indistinguishable from the other sets?
I haven't even noticed different card quality  :P

Seconded

I wonder why Jester is everyone's favorite.

We should do a least favorite attack bracket.

Semifinal matchups:

Jester
Bridge Troll
This one is a toss up for me, so I am going on the benefit to me as the deciding factor.

Relic
Goons
I really do love double Goons

I myself prefer triple or quadruple Goons.

I feel like a lot of the new Dominion expansions are improving Diadem somewhat. Champion is really helpful, and I think Bustling Village might help too.

Storyteller too is a combo with Diadem.

How?

What is your favorite Dominion card, and why?

Do you ever kill imperial admirals you play Dominion with?

I simulated this against bm on dominate. The best uncontested gardens strat gets 9 workshops before going green. It lost big time. Also the engine here is much stronger than bm.

I've done Workshop/Gardens quite a few times, and I never, ever got 9 Workshops before getting Gardens.
