Does anyone else always think of a CSI:Miami opening pun when they see the ?

(The correct response is eYEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!)

So I guess you think that symbol should be officially called...

 

...an emoti-Caine.

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[werothegreat]

I'll bet five bucks (read: I'm not betting anything) that the reveal today will be either the new Curse, or they'll show what Ruins or Shelters look like.

YEEAAAAAHH I do.  Sometimes.

[Gansura]

That emoticon should always be a hyperlink, as this one is.

There's now a new Duchy image released:

Nice. I like the VP number in the lower-right corner. That's a solution that didn't even occur to me.

Uh, the image is visible in the post I quoted, on the previous page of this thread. I removed it on purpose.

He had me thinking there was a NEW image released.  Tricksy hobbit.

The pictures look really nice, but I'm a bit sceptical about how they work out in practice. I mean, the reduced design of the 'old' cards does have its use, and it could be a bit of a visual overkill with all those big graphics lurking around.

Sorry, as will I.

I was worried about the same thing when I heard that the images would have art from the top bar to the bottom. And if the images were busier, like Feast's or something, that might be a problem. However, the Gold and the Duchy that I've seen have each used a very small range of colors and aren't too distracting, so I don't think visual overkill will be a problem. That being said, I'm now wondering whether Silver will have a silver border...

I am 99% certain it won't.

Why not? I guess it could be confusing for brand new players, but I don't expect too many brand new players to be buying the Base Cards set anyway.

Because all the Treasure cards have a gold border -- look at the current Gold, Silver and Copper, and Bank, Cache, Contraband, etc.

[BubbleBoy]

I am quite aware. But still, I wouldn't be bothered by a silver-bordered Silver or a copper-bordered Copper.

[LastFootnote]

I would be bothered by that. I really like the consistency of Dominion cards. All Treasure cards are yellow. All Victory cards are green. All Reaction cards are blue. Etc.

[blueblimp]

I'm pretty happy with how these are looking so far. I wasn't originally planning on buying this basic cards set (since I don't need to replace the basic cards I have), but if the silver and copper look as good as the gold does, then I probably will, to make the treasure cards easier to distinguish.

[dondon151]

You guys know what I want?

Entirely holographic base set cards a la Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh.

There ain't nothing else that screams "Dominion geek" as much as that.

Posted by someone at Origins who purchased a Base Cards set:

"Extra seems to be some type of card ... Says you use it by swiping it across your smartphone but I don't know how that would do any good "

From Rio Grande's press release about the delay:

"We have decided to postpone the release of the Dominion: Base Card item for 3-4 weeks in order to add something to the box that we hope everyone will find useful."

How is a smartphone swipey thing supposed to be useful to everyone?  I know I don't have a smartphone.

Maybe it links to the official app page

[Tmwinand]

Or maybe a free trial for the new online site?

I was really really hoping it would be the Blue Dog promo card.

Someone on BGG said they've uploading pics of the new cards, and they're currently pending.

Yeah, it kinda ties in with Ill-Gotten Gains.
