#306 - Donate



This looks more like he is putting in his ante at a gambling table. He could probably do with a little extra fiber in his diet. The hair dominates the picture.

That's surely a she...?

That looks more like an 18th century wig than a she to me. But possible

I hadn't looked closely until now; I'd thought it was a turban.

We could just say that's a woman and boost the diversity numbers. I think it's a woman anyways. Women could own property in the Roman times and sometimes did. Heck, even former slaves could own property; they just couldn't run for office. Their children could.

*edits edits everywhere! I'm trying to remove comma splices from all of my writing.

#303 - Conspirator



Nice job with the feel of the art. The one guy has a serious beak for a nose and the hands are weird. One daughter thought these looked like the guy from the opening scene of Aladdin.

#302 - Doctor



Doctor, doctor, give me the news....

I know you're sick, but let me autograph this ball for you.

This guy has the worst beard in all of Dominiondom. The scene is tilted funny and the doctor got all he wanted for Christmas, his two front teeth. Too bad those are his only teeth.

#301 - Sea Hag



She looks like a cross between Fiona as an ogre and Meredith from Brave. She looks about how a sea hag ought to look.

For some reason the moon bothers me a little.

That dutch angle.

#300 - Copper



Eh.

#299 - Stash



Nothing wrong with a bag of coins. We were thinking a stash probably ought to be hidden under a floorboard or in the fake bottom of a drawer or something.

#298 - Wild Hunt



The art is pretty cool but we couldn't quite figure out the choice of the ghost hunters flying over the tops of the trees. Ghost hunt?

The moon reminds me of the one from Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Hunt:
The Wild Hunt is a European folk myth involving a ghostly or supernatural group of huntsmen passing in wild pursuit.

[jamfamsam]

OK. Then we dropped the ball on this one.

#297 - Emporium



All alone it's hard to tell what this is.

[jamfamsam]

#296 - Swamp Hag



This is another card, like Bridge Troll, that looks pretty good when enlarged.

The first time I saw it, I wondered what the deal was with the floating head. The clothing blends in with the background. The bird looks like a big blur and I can't tell what she's holding in her hand. In fact I still look at it and wonder what the deal is with the floating head.

#295 - Necropolis



A nice depiction.

[LaLight]

Maaaaan I SO LOVE the art on Necropolis! It tears my heart apart to see it in group U

[trivialknot]

#297 - Emporium



All alone it's hard to tell what this is.

The thing that really draws the eye in this art is the little arch in the building on the left.  I think it's because the roofs of the buildings make a bold line pointing directly at the arch.  The composition of this art leaves something to be desired, since I think the true focus is supposed to be the people standing under the thing that looks like a giant beast's mouth.

#294 - Chapel



I don't know why two of my daughters rated this so low. It is a little dark but I think the art is great.

[jamfamsam]

#293 - Settlers



Once again a little dark and some of the features are obscured, otherwise quite nice.

[jamfamsam]

#292 - Encampment



The super-skinny guard is a little odd. Another one that is a little dark. We thought the eyeball shields were interesting.

That's the end of group U.

#294 - Chapel



I don't know why two of my daughters rated this so low. It is a little dark but I think the art is great.

The chalice looks a little fake if you look closely, but besides that.

[jamfamsam]

#291 - Baron



This is the start of group T, 17 cards.

The most interesting man in the world is past his prime. He's looking a little gray and, the most ironclad proof, instead of having a piece of eye candy on each arm, the two women are just whispering behind his back.

[jamfamsam]

#290 - Remake



Why does it look like everything is on fire in this picture?

[jamfamsam]

#289 - Prince



My daughters wanted to know which was the prince. I always assumed the younger guy, but the current crown prince of England isn't so young. Maybe it's the old guy.

Whoever it is, he isn't going very far with a chocolate bar as the door for the palace.

[LostPhoenix]

For a long time I never noticed the trees and mountain in the background of remake.

Other than to add to the "Intrigue" theme, I don't get the point of adding the whispering women behind the baron.

Yeah, but I for one think it's great that they tried to link so many of Intrigue's card arts with the set flavour. It gives a very distinct feeling to its cards.
Cornucopia does it to some extent as well, Prosperity doesn't even try (but it would have been harder), Dark Ages does it pretty well. Seaside, well, you'd have to try hard not to depict the sea on most cards there.

I think Chapel's art benefits from its role in the game. I also love it, but from an outsider's perspective, I understand how it could be meh. But it's iconic, and fits well with the card's effect, and one ends up loving it.
