Just curious.

[krawhitham]

More wins for me!

[carbonduck]

I don't know the game well enough to know what else I would like to see. On the other hand, I am curious to see what other people want to see.

[krawhitham]

OK so I'll post a more serious answer.

I'd like to see new cards speed up the game, by that I mean shorten the average turn time.

[ARTjoMS]

Better interface on isotropic.

I really liked one on german page, it made games somewhat faster and more enjoyable.

[Mean Mr Mustard]

Pro tour!

[rogerclee]

An official storage box to put all the sets together. Yes I know there are instructions to make one, but I would rather just pay 10 dollars.

[Taco Lobster]

iPad/iPod app.

I'd like to see more cards that involve choices and more dual-type cards, a la Intrigue. Perhaps a card which is a Curse and something else?

I know it probably won't happen, but a couple more Durations and VP-chip-givers would be nice.  (I suspect more VP chips are more likely.)

I'd like to see some trashers and curse-givers which are actually kind of mediocre and only make sense as situational buys.

I'd like to see an attack which lets you look at other players' hands and discard a card from it.  With restrictions, of course (at a minimum it should only hit people with more than four cards in hand), and it'd have to be really expensive.

I'd like to see a card that makes buying Bureaucrat worth it.

I think that mostly covers it.

[Mean Mr Mustard]

Bureaucracy

$8

Victory

Worth 2VP for every 3 Silver in your deck

[rinkworks]

Definitely more duration cards.  Duration cards are absolutely my favorite card type.

Secondarily, more cards that use VP chips would also be nice; for that matter, any kind of card that makes use of an unusual game mechanic (like Island, Native Village, Trade Route, etc, do) keeps the game interesting.

Bureaucracy

Victory

Ha.  I was thinking something more along the lines of:

Silversmith
$5
Action

+1 Action, +1 Buy, Silver produces an additional $1 this turn. (Maybe just "Silver produces $3 this turn" if it ends up being too good)

Would also give Explorer a much-needed boost.

[KMueller]

I'd like to see a card that makes buying Bureaucrat worth it.

Maybe a Silver Smith, making Silver worth $3?
Or a version of a Money Lender that trashes a Silver for $6?

[Taco Lobster]

I was chewing on the idea of curse-like debt cards which would interact with buys.  They'd be a completely dead card (as opposed to a -1 VP like curse), but you could remove it from your deck by spending $1 and using a buy.  A diet curse, if you will.

[guided]

Bureaucrat is already worth it! It's just difficult to recognize cases where it's strong. A typical Bureaucrat win might be a 3-5 Province split with enough Duchies to make up the difference. It can also be pretty strong on Gardens boards.

[Mean Mr Mustard]

Silver Bullet

$4

Attack-Duration

Trash a silver.  If you do, all opponents discards down to 3 and on your next turn +2 Cards.

or:

Silver Bullet

$4

Reaction

If an opponent makes any attack against you, show a silver from your hand.  If you do, opponent must trash the Attack card.

[KMueller]

Silver Bullet

$4

Attack-Duration

Trash a silver.  If you do, all opponents discards down to 3 and on your next turn +2 Cards.

Like it, but maybe it should be +$2 as well, to replace the silver's value from your hand?

[Jack Rudd]

Silver Bullet

$4

Attack-Duration

Trash a silver.  If you do, all opponents discards down to 3 and on your next turn +2 Cards.

Like it, but maybe it should be +$2 as well, to replace the silver's value from your hand?

It should also be an Action or a Treasure, otherwise it might not do very much.

[Taco Lobster]

Nice.  Love the idea of a reaction card that trashes the attack.  It should probably self trash or give the opponent some type of bonus as well - otherwise, it's hard to imagine attacks being viable at all if it is on the board.

Donald X. has repeatedly stated that he will never create a Reaction like this, and I think he's right in feeling this way.

Must ... not ... abuse ... banning privileges!

[WanderingWinder]

I do have a feeling that some "cares-about-having-silver" card is coming. The weird option on trusty steed, some comments Donald X. made in the recent secret history about cards that were scrapped, Bureaucrat, Explorer (when do you NOT want to reveal the province? Why is it "may"), and a couple other things. Plus Silversmith just sounds cool, and I think it would be awesome.

[WanderingWinder]

The card I thought about earlier today that would be interesting is something like
Graveyard
Cost $4(?)
Victory
Worth 1 VP for every curse in your deck.

In this thread, he mentions a moneylender that trashes silver as a card "no one was really interested in."

You SO beat me to saying this.  I would love to see cards that make Silver more interesting.  But would Silversmith have to be, "When you play this card, Silver is worth $X during your Buy phase", to follow Coppersmith?

I had a few ideas that would give you VP for certain Silver in your deck, or cards that gave you certain attributes based on a number of Silver you discarded.  Unfortunately, while these were half interesting in theory, they were even less interesting in practice.  I had another card, a non-terminal action where you would reveal cards from your deck until you revealed a Silver.  I wanted it to somehow be able to draw more than one Silver in a turn based on certain conditions, but could not get it to work.
