Fan Card Mechanics Week #104: Write it Down

Design a card or landscape which requires the use of a pencil and paper. Here's an example:

Quote
Stock Exchange - Landmark

At the start of the game, each player secretly writes down a list of supply piles, then simultaneously reveals them. When scoring, +4 VP for each of those supply piles you wrote down which is empty, and -4 VP for each with any cards left in them.

Scoring will be based on:
* How necessary is the use of pencil and paper? - i.e., how hard would it be to emulate the effect with existing components?
* How fun does the card look?

I'll come up with a serious submission at some point.

But a joke for now:

Love it, but I think I would have loved it even more if you hadn't modified it to add the last sentence, and let it slowly dawn on me why this has something to do with pen and paper.

It is far more natural to implement this with a token, which would also have the incidental sideeffect of mildly reducing the first player advantage, if it is down in turn order during setup.

FAQ:
- the change is permanent.
- if a pile has modified cards from a previous game, shuffle it before playing. You can only buy the top card.
- a "line" is a + effect or a sentence.
- if a sentence on a card is missing context (for example Remodel without its first sentence) that part does nothing (something like the Blue Dog rule)

Decoy
Landmark

At the start of the game, secretly write down a Supply
pile. When scoring, for each of your cards: 1VP if you
wrote its pile. 2VP per other player who wrote its pile.

Clarifications:
  • At the start of the game each player writes down the name of a pile which is in the Supply for this game.
  • The piles written by each player remain secret until scoring takes place.
  • If more than one player writes the same pile, the points are cumulative i.e. each card from that pile will be worth more than 2VP.
  • Points awarded by Decoy are in addition to any points the card would otherwise be worth.

Example:
At the start of the game, A and B write "Gladiator/Fortune", while C writes "Estate".
When scoring, all three players reveal which pile they wrote. A and B score 3 VP per Gladiator or Fortune and 2VP per Estate (in addition to the normal 1VP per Estate), while C scores 4VP per Gladiator or Fortune and 1VP per Estate (in addition to the normal 1VP per Estate).

Journalist identifies a particular card name, rather than a whole pile, which is functionally different for split piles. I can't think of an easy way to do that with a token.
However I agree that it would be simpler to allow Journalist to affect a whole pile and then implement that with a token.
