Pssst.... (Eager anticipation) When's it shipping?

For anyone in the know  ;) it feels like we're getting close to shipping...

Any idea on the dates when this glory will be spread amongst the people?

I don't know if there's an exact date, but last I heard it was supposed to be in stores near the very end of October.

Some copies have already shipped to distributors. They have to all get there though to announce a street date. We still expect late October.

Anyone know when we'll see copies on the shelves in the UK? Do we have to wait for them to become available in the UK and then pootle across the Atlantic?

I don't think so. Altenburger wasn't given permission to have it at Spiel (Essen) ahead of the street date. My latest info - no delays so far - still puts the street date at sometime in the week of Oct 28 - Nov 3. Oct 28 is the last day of Spiel.

It's showing as a new release on the RGG site, which is usually when Jay uploads the rules PDF.  However, the PDF isn't there yet.

Man, I remember those days. "Is it too soon to call the store again? Probably."

Nocturne's release here in Canada was so uhhh fluid? that I was calling every BGS in the city at least once a day in order to get a copy. I left work early in order to get it from the first store that had one.

This year my stakes are higher because I'm hoping to release my fan expansion in time to get a few physicals for some friends as Christmas presents.... so I need to know how many cards are broken asap!

Plus, I need to give Donald more money, because that's what I do :)

The street date could be "as early" as Friday, is expected to be no later than Monday.

The small disappointments in life, when server asks you to update client software, and after hitting Ctrl+F5 in a thrilled mood ... still no new cards.

The games are in Chicago (RGG has warehouses in Chicago). So we are down to the time the trucks take.

For online players, Stef told me he needs until Monday. Direct further online questions to the ShuffleIT forums. http://forum.shuffleit.nl/

Here is the latest news from Jay, crossposted from the discord.

- the rulebook will go up sometime on Monday
- with Jay shipping on Monday, conceivably someone will have it Tuesday, certainly some people will have it Wednesday, but there's no guarantee any particular store will have it then, it's all down to how far the distributor is and how quickly they spring into action
- there will be some copies in English in Europe at the same time; I don't know how you get those but they will be there, lurking
- Jay said ShuffleIT could put the online version up Monday; Stef will pick a time and announce it in his forums

That is not information I have.

There is an entity Jay works with in Europe that got copies directly from Altenburger, meaning they have them already. I don't know who they are but I mean they aren't trying to hide, they want to sell their products.

Afaik, the vendor of the Dutch version is 999 Games and not ASS Altenburger. Or does ASS Altenburger also produce the Dutch cards?

Correct.

999 Games does make the Dutch version of Dominion; I don't know if they will do this expansion at all, or when they might do it, or who would print it for them. That's all utterly unrelated to the fact that some European company is distributing English copies of Renaissance.

Yes, I'm talking about English copies.
In my experience, 999 Games usually publishes the Dutch version about a year after the original has released.

Just play as with Shephard I could imagine, not too mindboggling.

Random comments as I go through this.

- I like that Cargo Ship is a Duration. Nice nod to Seaside.
- Hideout is an interesting trasher, and an interesting Village, while being still very simple. Neat design!
- I thought things happening at the start of cleanup would be avoided in the future, but I guess the rules confusion of Improve with Scheme /Hermit etc. is not too big.
- Lackeys seem so similar to Silk Merchant. I'm confused why we have both.
- I wonder why Old Witch went with the Curse trashing instead of a Mountebank-like reaction. Result is mostly the same other than Curses running out more quickly.
- finally an on-reveal reaction!
- I feel like Research would be a better name for a project than a card. Oh well. Duration-Apprentice is an interesting concept.
- Scepter is very cool both from flavor perspective and mechanics. Sceptering a Throne Room gets as crazy as Villa.
- Academy could enable pretty amazing megaturns.
- Capitalism is cool, but I am somewhat disappointed that it won't count the +1$ token since that would be a lot of fun.
- Exploration seems like a strange thematic choice as what it does is quite different from both Explorer and Expedition.
- If I understand Fleet correctly, everyone but the last player could have an Outpost turn? That seems like a somewhat unfair ruling, but I understand that it is consistent and I guess the last player is also the one who makes the choice to end the game, so it's fine.
- I like that Sinister Plot uses the available tokens to do another thing.

I wonder if this will depend on your translation. I imagine that in the past, people did not pay close attention to keeping this keyword while translating.

You forgot Tribute and Envoy.

Dutch Cutpurse and Taxman don't contain 'toon' or 'tonen'. I haven't checked Nocturne because I only have it in English. I can imagine other non-English translations may have similar problems.

...and then I read Fleet.  I'm also intrigued by Crop Rotation.  Should I be buying Duchies with 5 earlier?  Estates with spare buys and 2 bucks in midgame?

Just play as with Shephard I could imagine, not too mindboggling.

Shepherd wants lots of green.  Crop Rotation wants exactly one in each hand

You forgot Tribute and Envoy.

Ah right. Somehow I forgot about the promos, and there's also Black Market (if Patron is in the Black Market deck).

Capitalism allows you to play a Black Market with Black Market. That could easily lead to a lot of revealed cards. (This was previoulsy possible, but way less practical, with Crown) I wonder if the online interface is equipped to handle this.

I made a thread to discuss the rulebook so shipping-related stuff can remain here.

Shepherd can only reveal Victory cards. You might have inherited Patrons, but your Estates are still Estates.

Right. I'm looking at it from the point of view: Which cards need to be tested to be sure they work with the Patron effect? And then Shepherd comes in again.

How about Opulent Castle? Although it doesn't says revealing them, if you don't reaval them then there's no way to tell those cards(expect the top card discarded) are victory cards or not.

It doesn't use the word "reveal", so it doesn't count for Patron.

- I wonder why Old Witch went with the Curse trashing instead of a Mountebank-like reaction. Result is mostly the same other than Curses running out more quickly.

Because she's old! She's tired, she runs out of energy more quickly and can't just keep up cursing all day anymore and never-you-mind like some of you whippersnappers. At least she's not afraid of peasants, like some young witches she could name.

I don't see this at CoolStuffInc or MiniatureMarket.  Any update on when stores like that should have them in stock?  (even if it's "within the next 3 days")

How? I literally can't find it on Amazon. This url, which contains "Dominion-Renaissance" in it, goes to a page that sells the base set.

That's really weird.  That's the URL of the product I ordered.  In my cart, it still shows a picture of Renaissance, but when I click on it, it goes to the base game.  It definitely was Renaissance a few days ago, no reviews, etc.  It would be real annoying to end up with the wrong thing here.

That's odd, I get the same result now too.  Even when I click on my order, it goes to the Base Game.  It was Renaissance when I ordered it.  It had the right art and title on the box, had the right flavor text in the listing, everything.  That's worrisome.

Hey, anybody need another copy of the Base Game?

It seems something's amiss. If we are to believe what Rio's people have put out, distributors should all have theirs by now.

The link from my Amazon order page once again takes me to a listing for Renaissance, so I'm hopeful that is indeed what they have sent me.

OK, I’ll continue to look. Neither amazon.co.uk nor amazon.de have it, and the distributor for my FLGS (based in Denmark) doesn’t even have it in their database. I’ve tried some other European internet stores too, but so far I’ve had no luck. Does anyone have any specific suggestions?

Excellent!  Renaissance for weekly game night is a go.  Assuming mine arrives on schedule.

My FLGS in the UK is supplied by EsdeviumAsmodee UK, who probably also supply pretty much everyone else here. When they checked for me last Saturday, copies for the UK were still nowhere in sight. )-8

Just to close the loop on this, despite the oddness with the Amazon listing, I too received the correct game.

Unfortunately, there are printing issues.  The scroll borders on Cargo Ship, Ducat, Patron, Scepter, and Spices (but not Research, strangely) are very faded; like the printer was running low on ink or something.  I've reached out RGG already.  Here's hoping mine is just a one off and this isn't a widespread issue.

They are all like that. The layout sent to the printer was lighter for everything but Research.

That's just great.  I imagine that means I shouldn't expect replacements any time soon.

Does it affect the card backs, or only the front?

Just the front. It's a mistake the layout guy made that we didn't catch. I had no idea I should be comparing the colors to previous files. How would that possibly be wrong? He got it wrong though.

The Action cards are all slightly lighter too; as Mic notes, it's everything but Research. Why Research is correct I couldn't tell you.

Odds are it will be a few years before there are fixed copies. I take solace in the fact that everyone either plays with sleeves (obscuring this some) or doesn't (all their older cards are worn so they already look different).

Honestly, this doesn't really bother me.  Every single set has slight variations in banner coloring - just look at the recommended kingdoms on the wiki and you'll see.

I'm aware of the variations from set to set, but come on, put Cargo Ship next to Research and call that a slight variation. This is way beyond that.

And Donald, sorry man, I love your games and I appreciate what you bring to this forum, but your "I take solace..." comment rubs me the wrong way. To be clear, sleeves don't obscure jack, but that's not really the point. You shouldn't take solace in any part of this. You should be pissed (maybe you are, it just didn't seem that way). This is 2 of the last 4 expansions with significant printing issues. Once is an anomaly. Twice is a pattern.

And to hear that it may be years before fixed card are available. That's beyond disappointing, if accurate. I get that the cards are completely functional as is, but hell, why take the time to pick art work and design fancy border to begin with if function is all that matters.

Why bother making the expansion? I went through plenty of that for Adventures, but made some more expansions anyway.

But man. Did I answer a question? My mistake. Direct all complaints to RGG. It's not my department, I'm just the guy who sucks it up.

Also, screaming in public at people you have to work with isn't so great.

We aren't looking to sell anything to anyone who doesn't want it. If the cards are no good for you, don't buy them, problem solved. You don't get to stop us from providing them to people who do want them; you just get to be mad at the fun they're having. If you bought the set because you weren't warned, well again that's not my department, I just get to suck up that hate, but you could try returning it as defective.

Here are images of new cards next to old ones; this doesn't include pure Actions which are also lighter.

Wow, that's a lot more difference than I was expecting from what I read from the reactions.
But oh well, I probably won't get it until either I find those Europpean boxes or when 999 Games releases it, which usually takes a full year.

Again, this does not in any way bother me, as long as the backs are not also faded. This has no mechanical effect on gameplay. They're going to feel the same when shuffling. The missing dividing line on 2e Treasury bothers me a lot more.

New suggestion for ShuffleIt: simulate printing errors. You can have the faded Renaissance cards, the bendy Adventures cards, any miscuts there were (was that Empires or Adventures?), and slightly different card backs for all expansions. That'll make it feel more like the real game. Then you can have people buy virtual card sleeves lest their Coppers and Estates get worn out.

As long as the backs don't look different.  The Adventures cards are a bit lighter on the back, and mostly I try not to notice it.

As long as the backs are the same and the cards aren't bendy, this is a non-issue for me since it won't affect actual game play. It is certainly disappointing for RGG. Running a business isn't easy and mistakes happen that you sometimes have to swallow.

Let me take a stab at clarifying something.  My main complaint wasn't really about the faded cards.  It was about the response to the issue.

I did send a note to RGG about the cards before I ever posted anything about it here.  The response was essentially: yeah, we know, but since it doesn't impact functionality, enjoy your defective cards.  We're not doing anything for you.

Then I come here and see the designer and primary "face" of the game seeming to say: I don't feel too bad about it, 'cause you can just throw some sleeves on them and it won't be so bad. I don't mean to put words in your mouth, Donald, if that's not how you meant it, but that's how it came across.

So yeah, I was irritated because the response I got seemed to marginalize the issue and attempt to make it less significant.  Now, judging by the other replies here, I'm in the minority regarding my feelings about how significant it is, so perhaps from a business standpoint, the response was perfect.  It just didn't sit well with me.

All that said, in the grand scheme, the issue, response, and my perception of it are all small things, so I won't belabor them any longer.

And for the record, I've played 10 or so games with the new cards since I got them and everyone, including me, enjoyed them immensely.  Faded cards aside, it's a great set.

The lighter frames can't possibly suck as much for you as they suck for me. I mean, there's no remote chance of that. They super suck for me. Why do I waste time making expansions when other people will screw them up?

But your response to my response also sucks. I don't just get to have people unhappy at lighter frames; I get to have people saying I didn't scream in public at the people I have to work with enough for their tastes, I didn't contemplate suicide enough for them.

That's my response to your response to my response! And if this is what interacting with the community is, I'll again be done with it. It does me no good to scream at fans for screaming at me not screaming. But that's all I've got for you; you're that guy complaining about me trying to look on the bright side. I have no sympathy for that position.

Here is a list of layout errors from first editions of previous expansions, when I was properly respectful of people's complaints (I do not know of any complaints about these layout errors, in case you're wondering how I managed that). It was a bummer that the cards were so poorly done, and when we did 2E main set and Intrigue we also put in the hours to get this stuff fixed (and fix up wordings too). We didn't have to do this and I couldn't tell why I didn't just take naps instead. It goes on and on; you proofread, provide a list of fixes to the layout guy, then proofread again and somehow have another list, and then another; for example I have 15 versions of the Renaissance kingdom cards (counting post-printing fixes - turns out the frames were too light). This isn't necessarily a complete list of the kinds of mistakes that have occurred - for example there maybe still be ones I don't know about - but hits on the various areas of a card.

- The titles aren't consistent in height, for example Militia is lower than Moneylender.
- Types aren't centered vertically, and aren't always the same horizontally, for example "Action - Attack" is farther left on Militia than on Saboteur. Also the spaces next to the dash are sometimes missing, e.g. Mercenary.
- The font isn't just way smaller than is sensible, it's also inconsistent, with random font changes like the tiny font on Transmute, and in fact almost every card in Seaside uses a different font than usual (compare Cellar and Embargo).
- "+1" sometimes has no space, sometimes one space, sometimes both on the same card, e.g. Caravan. Once in a while it has two spaces, e.g. Nomad Camp.
- Text isn't always vertically centered in the text box, e.g. Workshop, and cards with a dividing line tend not to center on each side of it or do anything nice-looking there, e.g. Moat.
- Normally each line of text is horizontally centered and ragged, but some cards justify the text, e.g. Horse Traders (which also I think is the only card that randomly has some incorrect bold text). Some cards also just randomly have off-center lines, e.g. Monument.
- When a coin symbol shows up in the text, sometimes the lines are spaced apart vertically to be even, but sometimes not, e.g. Pawn.
- The numbers on coins aren't always the same size (compare the $1's on Herbalist and Philosopher's Stone) and are often off-center in some way (e.g. Embargo). They are often too close to the text on one side or the other, e.g. the $4 on Talisman.
- Looking to see if I could find an error in the art, I have only just now noticed that Pearl Diver's art is a couple lines short of the top; compare the bottom of the title banner between Native Village and Pearl Diver. Sadly the 2E version also has this mistake; we didn't catch it and it was never reported. Of course the big one here is, Pathfinding went out with a big chunk of black on one side of the art, that you can think is a tree.
- There are of course artist attribution mistakes too, e.g. all the cards that say Claus Stefan.
- If you thought at least the expansion symbol never had a mistake, I am sorry to tell you that it's too small on the Update Pack versions of Artisan and Bandit. Isn't that weird. The 2E main set versions are fine somehow.
- And hey, we've had the frame be too light. Secret Cave has a lighter frame than the regular duration cards in Seaside etc. (the Night - Duration cards are lighter too, but there you can say, maybe they intended that). I've never seen a complaint there - a playtester noticed it apropos of the Renaissance frames being too light - but I mean I can't rule out that someone was sad. There's also how Necropolis doesn't match the other Shelters for which side is red, but I don't know if that qualifies as a "mistake" or just a "dumb thing."

You can go see this stuff on the wiki, except I didn't see a picture of Artisan or Bandit with a smaller expansion symbol. I have them right here though, it's a thing.

Of course versions in other languages have lots of text mistakes and who knows what layout mistakes.

Dude, you sound incredibly entitled. Instead of “calling it even”, I recommend an actual apology.  Donald X owes you nothing—and the money you spent for this expansion isn’t nothing, but if you hate it so much that you can’t handle it, just stop buying the future expansions game. Complaining to the creator of it will only result in everyone else not getting to play more of the game they like.

You said I should be pissed, meaning I hadn't adequately demonstrated pissed-ness to you, meaning you wanted my post to contain words of pissed-ness. Which would then be directed at entities I was pissed at, who happen to be entities I work for/with.

I do not think I am misunderstanding or mischaracterizing. I didn't call it "demanding me to write words of pissed-ness" because I want my posts to be better than that. I did not say any non sequiturs, it was all classic rhetorical techniques.

People sometimes would like me to side with them instead of people who I work with. That's not weird, and sometimes I do even. But it should be no surprise when I'm not there for you with that particular vitriol.

I try not to do things out of spite, and it's easy when it's something that looms large in your life, like working on expansions. I'm trying to take a break from working on expansions, but it's nothing to do with anything Dominion fans have said, pro or con.

That's actually very good advice, with the amendment "... until you have reports from players that have actually bought that expansion about the qualitiy of it in various different ways you care about." Buying things "unseen" has risks, that have materialied this time.  I have no idea if treating the current Renaissance box as defective has any kind of hope of being recongized by whatever consumer protection law exists where it matters for the original complainer.

The fact that Donald X. is publicly acknowledging that RGG could have done something a bit better is already beyond what you should expect from a creator. Normally, if you work with someone, they did a totally awesome killer job and you had a great experience working with such cool people unless you got screwed over so bad that you never want to work with them again.

No, that is not what I meant.  As I've explained, all I wanted in asking you to be pissed was to not make light of the issue, which is what it seemed to me that you were doing.  No ranting, to angry words, no public castigation of anyone necessary.  You said you weren't making light of it.  I said I believe you and I'm asking you to believe my explanation in return.  Either way though, thanks for the amazing game and farewell.

Many many games have had printing mistakes in them. Dominion is not an exception. The same thing happens in movies. Sometimes the audience notices, sometimes they don't. It's unfortunate the frames are lighter but not the end of the world.

I'd rather have these lighter frames than not having the cards at all, which is currently my situation, as I'm living in Europe. Still no shop which is willing to send to European addresses is having this set that I've seen. You're not alone in being noticeably bothered by such inconsistencies. I'm having a hang-up about such things myself, but if I can't control them, and God knows I don't when it comes to Dominion, I never bother other people with it.

You should've seen the countless iterations of Excel files I've made for Dominion throughout the years. When I notice that something is amiss, like cards having the wrong shade of a background color, wrong font, inconsistent font size or cell width, the wrong icons or faulty References listed, I'm pretty hard on myself, fix it up (or I won't be able to sleep), look at the fixed file, smile in utter satisfaction and dread the next inconsistency I'll find (I know there must be more of them).

These are things I can fix, so I fix them. I'm a sucker for card and board games, and they've given me a lot of grief during my lifetime when it comes to such inconsistencies, but man, if I measure and compare the pleasure and great memories they've provided, I've found that that grief is definitely something I'm perfectly willing to live with. The alternative (not playing these great games, or only playing them on a screen) are way, way worse to me. Besides, I know that I'm the problem if I let that ruin the game for me.

Oh well. Things happen. I’m looking forward to receiving my copy just as much as I was before.

Complaining to the creator of it will only result in everyone else not getting to play more of the game they like.
I try not to do things out of spite, and it's easy when it's something that looms large in your life, like working on expansions. I'm trying to take a break from working on expansions, but it's nothing to do with anything Dominion fans have said, pro or con.

Perhaps some of the people posting here now weren't around when Donald called it quits on this forum. It really sucked! It is so cool that the designer of this game takes time to interact with this forum. The first time he responded to one of my posts, I saved the screen shot and still have it. It's that cool! Having him leave again would really suck again.

I will receive my copy on Tuesday and I'm sure I will be disappointed that the card layouts don't match. I was unhappy with the bendy cards when they came out and more unhappy that RGG didn't replace those even though it did affect game play. Stuff happens. I ended up gifting the set to someone who couldn't tell the cards were bendy (yes, they knew what was coming and were happy to have the set) and bought the 2nd edition. Just because Donald is available on this forum to complain to, doesn't mean he is the guy to complain to. He is not the face of RGG. He designed the game. RGG owns whatever rights and prints the game and that stuff is all on RGG. Donald likely has no sway over what stuff RGG will and won't do in that regard although he does sometimes have information he has shared with us as allowed by RGG and I'm sure that more often than not Donald wishes he hadn't said anything about that stuff at all.

Thanks, but of course people have to feel free to say they hate whatever. I'm not complaining that people are unhappy, I'm complaining about complaints about what I've said.

I feel like pointing out again that Secret Cave is a lighter orange, just like Cargo Ship, and no-one ever reported this. There's not the same as 24 out of 25 cards and so on and on, but, it's a thing, the people out there who might have been angry online about that either did not see it or did not speak up. It may not ruin as many games as it seems like it might.

Maybe the 24 cards in Renaissance are correct and it's all the rest that are wrong.

The best part is, the wrong orange looks way better than the right orange. Time to change all the other older Duration cards to be the new color in the next edition.

My wife and I really enjoy Dominion. We have all the expansions and promo cards and are looking forward to Renaissance. I imagine our local game store will have it sometime in the next week or so.

I'm sorry to read some of the negative comments in this thread about what are really very minor issues.

I've read over the text of some of most the cards and am really looking forward to how they play in a game. There are always nice surprises and unexpected combinations.

Donald, sincere thanks and appreciation. I hope you keep adding to the game.

It's kind of amusing to me how upset people can get about trivial things like card colors being somewhat different (as long as it's the front and not the back - that would be horrible), when instead we Dutchies have to deal with this: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=19206.0

Now THOSE are mistakes.

And even then I don't actually get THAT upset about it, I just have to remember how the actual cards work and not forget to tell people before the game starts.

The color differences certainly won't stop me from buying the set. My biggest concern is Donald’s comment above about taking a break from expansions.

Donald, the break is well deserved and earned.  Thanks for a great game. Hopefully the break won’t be too long  ;).

I actually did notice the different color on Secret Cave, but I didn't think much of it. It certainly wasn't impacting gameplay and I didn't consider it worth reporting. I'm very much looking forward to playing with the new Renaissance cards.

I'm just happy Donald takes the time he does to help the game he designed be the best product it can be. Not all game designers put in that much effort and not all publishers are as accommodating to those designers that are so dedicated.

I received my set yesterday. I'm not even disappointed about the difference as I expected I might be. Zero effect on game play. Minimal effect on aesthetics.

At the risk of getting shouted down, I don't agree with those who say the printer errors are irrelevant.  The backs are clearly lighter...I can pick out the Renaissance cards from their backs 100 out of 100 times.  That's the biggest problem.  The too-light orange on the duration cards is very close to the original yellow of treasure cards also.  That's a much smaller problem but still a distraction.

I'm not about to buy 4,000 sleeves and my group is making it work.  And while this sentence belongs in feedback to RGG, well, here it is:  I'm in for north of 500 bucks on Dominion, and while I've gotten my money's worth most of the time, I don't feel like I did on this one.

I don't agree with them being irrelevant either. I played with them at a release event last week (with an older version of Base Cards) and they are for sure 100% marked. They are so marked that you don't need to compare two cards, just looking at one is enough. The fronts being off sucks, guy who needs me to repeat that, but I know would not affect gameplay for me personally; the prototype already has had different printers so that e.g. the orange isn't always the same orange. We had the lighter Treasures and regular Treasures and I mean it didn't bother me but also I'm used to it.

As with Adventures I think, why do I even bother. You spend months working on something and then it's worthless. It looks like the basic premise of printing cards at two different times that get shuffled together is bad.

I'm not about to buy 4,000 sleeves and my group is making it work.
I don't understand this part, I think it's vice versa. If you don't sleeve, lack of wear on the cards will mark the new cards anyway; the backs mark them, the lack of wear also marks them. If you sleeve, only the backs being different marks them. Well, if cards stay in sleeves long enough, lack of sleeve wear also marks cards; I see this with the prototype.

Any solution for people who will wait for a new printing is probably a few years away, since lots of copies were printed. But also, there's no perfect solution, because the most recent sets are all lighter than the oldest sets. At best we match the most recent sets and you can still tell 1E cards from the backs.

Jay is looking into what's going on, and so far it looks like the file isn't wrong - he sent me the "good to print" file that Altenburger sends us and uses if we okay it, and the pixels I checked matched the other files I have. So, whether it was the printer printing too light, printing too dark previously, or using the wrong file, it seems like it has to be the printer. Obv. since the layout on the fronts was wrong, I was very suspicious of the file.

I think Orange means that (s)he already sleeves all her/his cards with clear sleeves, and that (s)he now feels that (s)he has to buy new sleeves with opaque backs for all her/his Dominion cards. Resleeving all of them takes a lot of time, and the cost is actually significant, too.

No European shop has the set yet, so I don't know how much it would impact my AFK games before I'm able to get my hands on it. I'm optimistic it won't impact game-play too much. :)

Magic Maze solves this by having the expansion tiles have different backs altogether.

Although yes, I have noticed the English Nocturne I bought in America has slightly lighter backs than all my other cards.

I solve all this using the house rule 'don't look at the back of the top card of your deck'. Takes some practice but it works. Alternatively I could devise some sort of object that obscures your deck.

Honestly, all the backs from all the expansions I've ever gotten have had slightly different colorations.  If you stare hard enough, you can tell which are base set cards and which are not.  So don't stare hard at your deck.  At least this can possibly be ignored, whereas whatever the hell happened to the first printing of Adventures really couldn't be.

If you don't sleeve, lack of wear on the cards will mark the new cards anyway
Handy tip: after a game, put the used Coppers back at the bottom of the pile, not the top. Even out the wear a bit!

My preferred sleeves are Ultra Pro ProMatte. In the UK, those cost £8.30 to sleeve 250 cards. A fresh set of Base Cards costs £14.40. I think, given only the issue of differential wear, my tendency would be to replace my base cards every now and then - the obvious moment being simultaneously with buying a new expansion. After all, I treat regular playing cards as a consumable rather than sleeving them.

If we're entering an era of cards no longer matching out of the box, maybe I have to reconsider. )-8

Actually, you gave me an idea, thanks.
I could use Stash, the blank cards, or the randomizers for this, in a fashion similar to Knights/Ruins. Always keep that card on top after shuffling and between reveals/draws. Then, when you look at your deck, you don't get information (even accidentally). So when you play, say, a Doctor, instead of looking at your deck and noticing a back with lots of wear (which usually is a Copper), you'll see a blank card or such.

Doesn't have to be something supplied with the game. Drinks coasters, standard playing cards, empty card sleeves...

But I've just had an even simpler idea that might help a lot: play with your deck reversed. i.e. the "top" of your deck is the bottom, and the "bottom" is the top. That means you can see the back of the last card in your deck, not the one you're about to draw, which isn't perfect but is a big improvement.

I can always tell which cards are from the new expansion. They're the ones in the untarnished sleeves.

But, honestly, I think there are more important things to worry about, like talking to the people you're playing with and having a good time.

True. I just tried sleeved blank cards for this and it works well enough, so I'm going with that (plus they fit nicely, and are noticably (noticeably?) different from the other non-sleeved cards).

Our boardgaming group doesn't small-talk during games. Only before and after. No drinks, no food, full attention to the game being played, everything said is about the game itself. That's how we all enjoy playing the most. Come to think of it, it's very similar to the people I do LAN parties with, even though it's completely different people. But everyone should play as they like, I won't tell you to do the same.

Got my copy of Renaissance, all scans are up on the wiki.  I got a copy of Seaside 2E at the same time, and the Treasury glitch is fixed!  The dividing line is back!  Will probably scan those next week, currently travelling.

I received my copy of Renaissance as well as the dividers from Spielgeek. Everything is now organized. With the growing number of player components (Mats, Tokens, and now Cubes), does anyone have a recommendation on how to store these components? I used to have them sorted by component rather than color, but found that to be too time consuming with the number of components. Currently, I have them in individual bags sorted by color, but I'm thinking it might be easier to store them in their own plastic containers by color because, with plastic bags, you almost have to dump everything out each time to get the components. All about efficiency.

As for the quality of the components, the lighter colors on the back of the cards do not bother me. It made zero impact on the games we played. I never look closely at the back of the card before I draw (unless playing with Stash, of course), so it has made no difference. I can certainly see how you could potentially exploit it if you wanted to, but, you know, just don't?

And finally, as for the cards themselves, this could be my favorite expansion. Villagers are a great addition (and a lot more useful than I originally expected) and projects breathe new life into the game. So far, I have found all of the cards to be good additions to the game. Capitalism, especially, has already enabled some of the most fun games that I have played. It's wonky in a really good way.

Does this mean that Seaside 2E has newer and older printings that are different?

I think so. I think in general the policy would be, why not fix this when we can. Surely there won't be enraged fans with their no-dividing-lines Treasuries to prevent us from fixing it.

Donald, I am enraged and personally offended that the no-dividing-line Treasury is no longer available. This is a huge blow to us fans and represents a steep decline in my respect for Rio Grande Games. I could stomach the needlessly sexy Vampire card art and was able to turn a blind eye to your immature "your mom" jokes. But this is the final straw, and I'm sure that the loss of a valued customer such as myself will mean the imminent downfall of RGG. Please return Dominion to the simpler times when everybody was happy and we didn't have unnecessary and inconsistent dividing lines ruining our fun.

Best regards, a concerned customer.

Who would have thought a dividing line could be so........................... divisive.

I don't want to sound rude or anything, but may I prod this thread back to it's actual topic?

For several weeks, I couldn't order this set from Norway. The distributor for every Norwegian FLGS and every Norwegian DGS, Enigma (based in Denmark), has pushed the dispatch date back several times, and now it doesn't look like it's going to be available in Norway until some time in January, 2019.

Amazon.com wasn't willing to send to Europe (even though their product page said that it shipped to Norway, they still wouldn't ship it when I entered my address later on in the shopping process), and neither Amazon.co.uk nor Amazon.de had it available for quite some time.

An external seller sold it briefly on both European Amazons, but they wouldn't send to Norway either (only within the UK, as far as I could understand). I've checked the two European Amazons at least daily since it became available (for Americans) at Amazon.com, but I had no luck getting it to Norway.

Today I decided to check out Amazon.com again, and lo and behold, they will now ship to Norway! So, for all of you Europeans still waiting for a chance to get their hands on Dominion Renaissance, you will now probably be able to!

FYI, Sumpfork tabs are up for those that use them. I hadn't checked in awhile so I don't know how long they've been up.

I managed to nab a copy on Saturday. My FLGS in the UK had only been given two copies by EsdeviumAsmodee UK despite requesting more; they'd already sold one and I took the second.

It sounds like supplies are very limited for some reason! /-8

Yeah, too bad for people who aren’t as lucky as we are...
