Got my copies. My Intrigue had 11 Swindlers and 9 Trading Post.

Saboteur strikes back!

This deserves more upvotes.

It's funny because Swindler costs $2 less than Trading Post!

I really hate the art for sentry.

For some reason unless if you click on the image it is still the old version.

As the 2nd editions get out and about, it's going to be harder and harder to get copies of the 12 removed cards. I know what I'd be like if I'd just found dominion right now, I'd start with the new editions, but, over time, I'd want to play with those 12 cards. Maybe they aren't that good, but I'd feel I'd want to decide that for myself.

So, I was wondering if there are any plans afoot to put out a "The lost cards" pack - just a little sort-of-expansion that gives you the 12 removed cards, for the people (like me) who like to have everything. It would be the crappiest dominion expansion ever, but hell I know I'd happily fork out a tenner for it if I had the 2nd editions. Variety is the spice of life, and some of those removed cards (woodcutter and chancellor) have featured importantly in some very fun games I've played. I know that the reason they're gone is sound - they aren't interesting very often, generally they're pretty much pointless on the board they're on - but in certain cases they can still be fun and important, so I'd want them involved in my randomisation so they could pop up every now and then.

I have very fond memories of winning a game with a treasureless engine of Library/Festival/Chancellor - I wouldn't want that oppurtunity denied to anyone :p

Years in the future, I will pull out my old pile of Scouts.  Old, dusty, but original.  I'll sell it just like those old comics and get millions of dollars.

You should save them, because you might need to pull out an old pile of Great Halls.

She's not happy with you, either.

I had high hopes for poacher's art, but it turns out to be the second card ever in Dominion that I will feel a bit embarassed to pull out in front of friends (and strangers too).
Even passing her gown-and-bra outfit (I'm definitely not a prude, but I'd like to see more common sense in fantasy art), how can she even hunt with her hair covering her eyes?
It's not even near some of the art you see in - say - MtG, but it's still something I wouldn't like to see Dominion import.

I must compliment the artist for the best depiction of fasans pheasants that I have ever seen in a board game.

[Jimmmmm]

Her hair is covering her left eye so she can see straight down the arrow with her right.

Pheasants?

[Accatitippi]

Her hair is covering her left eye so she can see straight down the arrow with her right.

Closing one eye to take aim better is a myth, as far as I know (my two archer friend confirm this).
And I was complaining more about her generally looking like she is there to be taken pictures of rather than to hunt. I mean, I've tried to run in the woods with my medium-length hair loose, and I have a very precise idea of how impractical that is.

Yeah, those. I mixed that up with Norwegian, sorry.  '

Wow, that trash mat is gigantic. I'm kinda turned off by that, but I guess it allows you to make multiple trash piles if doing so would be helpful (fan out trashed treasures for forager, put 3 to 5 cost cards in their own pile for Graverobber, etc.)

I actually like it - I think it's a good size.  Played a couple games tonight with the new cards, Replace and Sentry were in both of them, and the trash mat got pretty full.

Card thoughts:
Merchant - meh.  Probably needs a really thin deck.  Kept whiffing.
Harbinger - pretty strong.  A cantrip, cheap Scavenger is kind of ridiculous, it sets things up so well.
Vassal - meh.  Also needs a really thin deck, as well as sources of +Action so you're not sad that you discarded Smithy.
Diplomat - finicky, but pretty sweet when you can get it to go off.  Didn't use the Reaction ever.
Mill - quite nice!  That + can come in very useful, and it helps trigger Diplomat.
Lurker - hilarious.  Exactly what everyone thought it would be.
Artisan - strong.  Quite strong.
Secret Passage - stronger than you might think, as long as it's not too near the end of a shuffle.  I once put a Curse as the 7th card down hoping I'd have a Sentry in my next hand, which I did!
Sentry - not too bad.  I think Junk Dealer is stronger, but it can synergize with Vassal.
Replace - very strong.  Replacing Estates into Mills is quite fun, but handing out Curses when you turn Golds into Provinces is kind of ridiculous.
Poacher - solid.  The one game we played with it, no piles emptied, so it was just a Peddler.  I was honestly hoping for a pile to empty to help trigger Diplomat, though.
Bandit - okay?  Better than Thief.  Gaining a Gold is nice, but the Attack portion never hit.
Courtier - pretty sweet, even with only 2-type cards.  Very flexible, and another Diplomat synergizer.
Patrol - pretty good.

Given that the 14 new cards have only one Village (and a finicky one at that) and only one +Buy, the two games were pretty interesting, trying to get everything to line up together.  Overall, I like them!  They're a lot more interesting than the removed cards, I found myself thinking a lot about what decisions to make, particularly with cards like Courtier, Secret Passage, and Artisan.

[Seprix]

Regardless of whether the cards or bad or good, it makes sense that we will be thinking about them in terms of decision making. They are new, after all.

[Kirian]

I'll say it for everyone: it wasn't the greatest card in the world; it was just Tribute.

That made my evening, Donald.

[Chris is me]

Got my new editions. Best ones yet.

First whomever decided to put the inlays inside the manuals to stop them from getting damaged - Genius. Great move. Now whomever decided to make the gaps between the card piles in the plastic carton thing smaller, making it so a third of them were broken by the time I got the game - not a genius. They are all still usable but the Copper slot is a little cramped. This may be an old change I am only noticing now.

Cards arrived fine (except one pile was already half open? No cards missing though). Card quality is the best yet. Cards feel just like old ones do; great.

THE NEW TEXT IS SO MUCH MORE READABLE! No tiny fonts for the sake of tiny fonts. Clearer wordings. More concise wordings. Generally easier to understand. No weird uses of "immediately" or "including cards in other people's hands".

New cards I've tried so far:
Sentry: If you open this it's a rock star. If you get it in the first shuffle it's pretty good. If you get it in the second shuffle it's a slow trasher that misses a lot. Not a surprise.

Harbinger: Unsurprisingly this is kind of useless in a draw your deck engine.

Patrol: Really good draw

Courtier: Games where this is the only +Buy become really interesting with having to manage your deck to line it up with 2 type cards. Cool card.

Artisan: Exactly as good as it looks, meaning very good.

Trash mat is pretty big. Like, really big. Three cards wide! It's thin enough that it can be placed inside a row of the Wooden Artist Case to one side of a set of particular cards.

It's definitely bigger than I thought it would be and it took me a while to find a convenient yet safe place for it in my storage case.  Problem solved though and it is everything I'd hoped for.

[J Reggie]

I haven't gotten the sets yet. Is the trash mat bigger than tavern mats?
