#240 - Governor

I don't think the window is square. If my daughters knew this was supposed to be a promo to celebrate Puerto Rico, they probably would have rated it higher.

#239 - Sprawling Castle

This is another really yellow scene for castles. Other than that, I think it is really well done.

#238 - Baths

The giantess gets her turn in the bath. My daughters think the woman on the left looks like Moaning Myrtle but I don't see it.

That is the end of group Q.

#237 - Walled Village

This is the start of group P, 14 cards.

There is a lot of Dominion art.

I certainly wouldn't want to cross that bridge. The last incline on the path leading to that bridge is killer. How could you possibly get a cart up that?

#236 - Treasure Map

This is the remedial treasure map. Not only does X mark the spot but, to make sure you didn't miss it, there is a big arrow pointing to it.

I have taken to calling this card Treasure Trap.

#235 - Orchard

We have the nice fairy-tale style cottage. They have their trash out to be picked up. It looks more like a hedge and a vineyard, but hey.

Whenever I post an Empires card, I get bitter because I have the set but have only played one game with it. All my Dominion players have moved.

#234 - Counterfeit

If I were counterfeiting, I would make sure all my coins were the same.

#233 - Lookout

It looks like this guy's legs are missing. This guy either just came on shift or he's not a very good lookout. This ship is in some serious trouble.

#232 - Trading Post

This has always been one of the most confusing pieces of art in Dominion to me and my daughters thought the same. Another set of large hands.

jsh enjoyed that: "I think this is a pretty great picture, not just because it looks nice, but since it's open to interpretation. Is the person hiding behind the tree waiting for an opportunity to steal something? Planning to trade in that sword? Admiring the view but being super-cautious about it? You can never be too safe in Dominion Land. It could be that this person's story is only a small sub-story of the overall daily routine at this trading post, and I like that. We're getting a peek at a larger world with subtle implications. Of course, it could also be that the art was submitted for another card name, but that doesn't lessen what we have here. Score another point for Intrigue having art that fits its overall theme if my interpretation is right."

I'm glad somebody is still paying attention.

The coins in the picture are all different. Now that I think about it, the person could be counterfeiting something other than money.

Alas, they don't play. They think I am a Dominion freak.

#231 - Raze

This guy hulk-smashes through a wall. Now he is shown tearing a piece of carpet/copper? off the wall. I think the artist missed the best moment here.

#230 - Knights

Dark knight versus Candyland knight. The dark horse looks like it has a skull and crossbones for a face. Everything is a little tall and skinny.

#229 - Haggler

I think this guy has lost a finger. He is exactly the type of creepy guy who would get up in your grill in the middle of your vacation.

#228 - Scavenger

I never noticed the bird at the top before. This guy has a great glow about him. He's got very long fingers.

The real question is why is there a random pot lying around on the battlefield.

#227 - Procession

That is one massive dude. I like the color scheme here, it is the Dark Ages after all, but it is a little too dark. Can't tell if that is someone bowing down on the right or something else.

#226 - Bureaucrat

Real men wear pink. The candle looks more like a propane torch. This guy might also need a manzier.

#225 - Mountain Pass

The birds seem a little out of place. Whoever was playing hopscotch in the snow must have been carried off by a giant bird.

#224 - Museum

The statues are all the same color except the one, and they look weirder the more I look at them. It's a fabulous building.

That is the end of group P.

#223 - Conquest

This is the start of group O, 14 cards.

This is the most violent of all Dominion art with the bloody sword and blood spurting in from the right. The fire sweeping across the stone is a little curious. Perhaps they spilled a vat of oil.

jamfamsam · « **Reply #324 on:** July 07, 2016, 11:48:53 am »

#222 Duchess

It's a much better-looking duchy than that of the Duke. She has her arm floaties on in preparation for baby's swim lessons. Not a very cute baby.
