Fan Card Mechanics Week 71: Brother and Sister
« on: August 18, 2023, 02:53:10 am »
+1

For this week, create a landscape about two linked piles - one is the Brother, the other one is the Bister.

Both are usual kingdom piles. Before the game starts one random pile is selected as Brother and one as Sister. They get their own pile marker.

From here on you're free to do whatever you want with them. :)

Is this a new landscape type, or are we meant to create an existing Landscape interacting with these piles?

Balance
Landmark
When scoring, 4VP per brother or sister you have, whichever is fewer (if it's a tie, count either).

You're meant to create an existing landscape around this piles. :)

A shorter text which is functionally the same would be: „When scoring, 4 VP per pair of Brother and Sister you have.“

This costs $1 less if neither the Brother nor the Sister have +Actions or +Villagers.

FAQ: Both the Brother and Sister cards should be Actions. (No Nights or Treasures)

<Identical Twins>

Nice.
It's a really good deal to play a $2 cost brother to get a $5 cost sister, but then you have to pay the favors to keep it as the $5.
But there may be times when you don't mind switching back and forth if the cards are of similar value.
Also, the theme doesn't fit because a brother and sister can't be identical twins.

Fist of all: Nice to see so many different entrings. :)
I'll keep it shorter this time.

Balance - Will(ow|iam)
Yeah, that's fine. Remembers me a bit of the  Plateau Shepherds. Not a lot to say about this. But it spices the game up a but, so it's one I really like.

Kin Cooperation - LibraryAdventurer
An interesting way to get coffers or villagers. Depending from the kingdom this could be an interesating one, but it also could become a dead landscape in some cases, where you just don't have a chance to play those cards one after one. I'm unsure if that's worth $6 or even $5 for me.

Siblings - BryGuy
A gain-on-shuffle, when it's not in the game? Not a bad idea. But has room for potential. Would be nice if there was some sort of interaction between brother and sister.

Motherly - StrangerSon712
A mother, which comes with her whole family. That's gamewise and thematically a really cool one, espacially when you have a cheaper Motherly card, but it's connected to two strong b&s. The other way around it creates an interesting decisionpoint where you have to choose if you want to get a strong card, which comes with 2 weaker ones. Yeah, that's good. Maybe a little bit dangerous in point of ending the game too fast.

Identical Twins - bigotato
And yeah, that's a really cool one. LibraryAdventurer hit the point quite well. The switching mechanism looks like a really cool thing which adds an interesting dynamic to the game.

Temple of the Siblings - Snorka
Not much making me very curious about this. Or at least less than the 'Balance', which also combines b&s to an additional VPsource, just with another operation. I preffered 'Balance' over this.

Kinship - segura
That's good. That's fine. Not very exciting, but a solid nice to have. Again, with $6 and depending from the kingdom this could be something very less used.

My Top 3
3rd - Siblings
2nd - Motherly
1st - Indentical Twins
