No new contests today. The Reaction card contest was actually the last new challenge. On Thursday, I'll post ballots for the runners-up round, which will have multiple winners, and for my cards, which will have 0-1 winners.
No looter challenge ?
Anyway, thank you for this contest !
I actually wanted to do a Prize card challenge, since I don't like that Tournament is the only card that accesses Prizes. But the set is getting full, and as I mentioned to pops, this is getting time-consuming.
That said, since people seemed to dig this one and be up for more, I had an idea for doing a second set sometime down the road. People have been talking about a Treasure Chest expansion, which would have 1-2 cards representing the themes of each of the other sets. Based on Donald X's comments, it was sounding like that probably won't happen -- that if there were a ninth expansion, it would probably be something new anyhow. Regardless, we could build our own Treasure Chest expansion with challenges such as "Design a card with choices" or "Design a Duration card", etc. This would be a good place for a Looter challenge or a card using Prizes.
I'm not committing to running such a thing, and if someone else wants to set up and do what I've been doing for it, they're welcome. But I imagine that, sometime shortly after Guilds, if no one else has stepped up, I'll probably wind up doing something along those lines.
It's funny that you bring it up, because brokoli's post also made me think that a "treasure chest" fan expansion would be cool. I doubt I'd have time to run one, but it would be fun! Challenges could be things like:
Dominion: vanilla, simple
Intrigue: choice, multi-type VP
Seaside: duration, next turn
Alchemy: potions
Prosperity: alt-treasure, expensive, VP tokens
Cornucopia: variety, prize-giver
Hinterlands: on-buy/on-gain
Dark Ages: on-trash, trashers, looters, spoils-givers, self-upgrades, ruins
Guilds: ? ? ?
