It would be nice to have a name to refer to traits, events, ways, landmarks, and projects plus any future similar things rather than using an acronym that keeps changing every time something new is introduced. Donald, is there any shorthand you use?
Isn't "landscapes" a pretty common term that everyone uses?
Interesting, I thought the quiz didn't have any data at all other than the names.
I want to upgreade the feast:
Banquet $5
Action
+1 action
Gain an card costing up to $6
Trash this card
-
When you trash this card, gain 2vp
I think it gives card does give some play. You can do duchy rushes, or gain some vital points in an spilt situation.
Are there plans for more second editions, or are we done?
Since you skipped the small expansions - and card counts go up to 500 - Guilds, cornucopia and Alchemy don't have enough material to work in as a single big box second edition?
It also eliminates the randomness and asymmetry of Black Market (the twolargest complaintsthings that make it fun).
I think (1) and (2) are enough of a reason to justify a different mechanic (just as there is a benefit from having both plain Actions and Reactions). But (3) is pretty nominal, and if I were to overhaul the mechanic I'd probably use the same tan background as Reserve cards and add "Put this on your Tavern mat" to each card's on-play. (This would also solve the Ways issue raised by Erick648's Colleague.)
maybe i misunderstand, but it seams like "Activation" to too similar to "Reserve". I know they were developed before Reserve, but if i were to print any, i'd just make them Reserve cards.
It seems odd to me when these expansions are also named after cards from other sets.
That said stoked for this.
I don't think Delusion is necessarily the strongest hex, but it's rarely fun when you get it. If we wanted to preserve the flavor, we could replace it with a contraband effect
When you play the treasures, you also get the effects of the treasures, right?
Grand Workshop
Action/Activation - $4
This turn, when you gain a card, you may put it onto your deck.
______________
When you trigger this, gain a card costing up to $5.
Note: You can only topdeck the card you gain with the Activation effect if you play and activate it in the same turn.
QuoteSmithing Academy • $5 • Action - Duration - Activation
When you play this, +5 Cards. This card stays in play until activated.
-
Activation costs an Action per Smithing Academy you have in play. When you trigger this, discard it.
This card overcomplicates the staying in play. Activation cards already automatically stay in play until triggered. So you can simply sayQuote$5 Action - Activation
+5 Cards
-
Triggering this costs an Action per Smithing Academy you have in play. When you trigger this, discard it.
And yes, at the table even our group of 4 experienced players miss things. We're shuffling our deck and getting a new hand or looking at our hand trying to figure out how we want to play it or even miss leaving duration cards out when we clean up because there are lots of cards out there, had to figure out how much $ you had and what to buy, and when you clean up, you rake the cards in forgetting about duration cards or a supplies until the next turn when you wonder if you had duration cards you forgot to leave out. It happens.
