RGG Jay, over on BGG, has stated that they should be publicly available in August.

Hmm, and he said it today, too. That does give it a little more plausibility. They've just been two months late so many times in the past, i.e. for every other Dominion expansion.

Fool me six times, shame on you. Fool me seven times, shame on me.

Blah, Monday needs to get here.  Do we think Shelters and/or Ruins will be revealed?

Funny that we can't wait for the weekend to be over....

I'm guessing we'll see one or the other on Monday, yes.

What good is a weekend without knowing the new cards from Dark Ages?

To get in all the activities you know you won't have time for once the Dark Ages previews start.

Found some art that could be used in Dark Ages... All by former Dominion illustrators.  The second one down is even called Dark Ages...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcomorte/7197618902/in/photostream/ - there are a couple of others on this site that look like they could as well...

If they don't end up being Dominion cards they could make for great fan card art.

I would be most likely to believe the flickr account - it seems to fit thematically with Dominion, and the description is "Rio Grande Games."

In fact, let's venture a guess at some names:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcomorte/7197615544/in/set-72157625491457387/ - Knight?  Lord?  Manor?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcomorte/7197617348/in/set-72157625491457387/ - Mercenary (maybe Man at Arms).

http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcomorte/7197618902/in/set-72157625491457387/ - Plague Wagon.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcomorte/7197614012/in/set-72157625491457387/ - Holdfast!  A pretty awesome looking one, too.

So beautiful ! I love them and hope we will see them in Dark ages.

The masked men in that one are plague doctors, which would fit the dark ages theme pretty well.

"Abandoned City" looks a little too sci-fi for Dominion ... props on finding these though. I'll +1 you for that for sure.

[yuma]

There is a lot of awesome art in these and other former dominion artists pages... like you said could make for some cool fan art, especially in the design competition

[Mister Alex]

I think that "Holdfast" one will be called Keep.

Keep
$5
Action
If you have one or more Keeps in play at the start of your Clean-up phase, then put the 5 cards you draw for your next hand onto the Keep mat.  While there, they are safe from any attacks.  Draw them into your hand at the start of your next turn.

All that is is a really REALLY REALLY cheesy Moat.

For a $5 terminal action, that card had better do something else.  As is, it's basically a moat: it's a terminal action taking up space in your hand, and its protection is basically identical to a moat for the next hand.  Except at least the moat draws you two cards!

[eHalcyon]

It's actually much weaker than a Moat.

- high cost
- has no benefits other than defense
- requires two to activate, doesn't even provide +actions to get it done
- narrow defense

I mean, it defends against hand-size reduction... and that's about it?  Not going to stop Curses, or deck inspection, or swindling...

Mmmmm... moat full of cheese...

Okay, this is why I shouldn't come up with card ideas when I'm really sleepy.  My awake self would have thought of that.

It protects against Masquerade.  And Possession.

Masquerade, fair point.

Possession, I don't think so.  The Possession turn is still *your turn*, so you would draw those cards into your hand and play out your possessed turn.

I kinda hope we don't get spoiled halfway through like we did with Hinterlands.  Half the fun for me was seeing his writeups for stuff, and I felt kinda bad when he had to stop doing that and just lay down a clarification of the translation.

Donald X is previewing a week early to prevent exactly that.

Two more days, by the way.

I'm impressed - only two posts in this thread today.  Do all the forumers here go and do other things on Saturdays?

We are all off trying out the new Dark Ages card in the 2nd Goko beta probably
