Jobs, everyone’s worried about jobs. Whatever happened to tilling the fields in obscurity? The economy is just a trick, like stealing someone's nose, but lately people seem to have seen through it, like when you realize someone hasn’t really stolen your nose. So now everyone’s joining a guild, learning a craft, and working on a masterpiece - a painting so beautiful it blinds you, or a cheese grater so amazing that you never eat cheese again. The only people left tilling the fields are the ones doing it ironically. The guilds cover everything - ironic tilling, butchering, baking, candlestick making, shoemaking, cheesemaking, cheese destruction. Your advisor is convinced that somehow, control of the stonecutters is key to world domination. Very well. You will have stone handled so expertly that the world trembles before you.

This is the 8th addition to the game of Dominion. It adds 13 new Kingdom cards to Dominion. It has coin tokens that you can save to spend later, and cards you can get more out of by paying extra for them.

[StrongRhino]

So, money you save for later and cards that do more if you spend more money on them. Sounds great to me.

[LastFootnote]

I wonder if that means you get an on-gain effect if you pay more when you buy them, or if it means you can pay coins when you play them to get an effect. Or something else entirely?

[Jimmmmm]

Hooray!

[Hockey Mask]

It is about flippin time! 

[ashersky]

So tokens that work like how I originally thought Pirate Ship worked.  Cool.

(Yes, I thought you spent tokens...)

[Jimmmmm]

"Release Date: spring"

It's ALREADY Spring. Well, it's Autumn here which means that it's Spring for most of the world. Which means it should be out some time in the next 2 months or so!

"Working on a masterpiece". Could that be an alternative win condition?

[SirPeebles]

When Guilds comes out, I'm going to play just base game.  To be ironic.

[Morgrim7]

Oohh…nice.

When Guilds comes out, I'm going to play just base game.  To be ironic.

I think Ill play one with each. Ugh…Alchemy wont be fun.

[Kirian]

It's not often you see a Simpsons reference in a Renaissance themed eurogame.

[SirPeebles]

I thought the same Kirian, although it's possible that Donald just happened to be making the same joke as the simpsons regarding the free masons.

[SirPeebles]

Let's start guessing card names.  I think Stonecutter is likely.

[LastFootnote]

It's not often you see a Simpsons reference in a Renaissance themed eurogame.

Well, it's a Simpsons reference in that it's the same reference used in the Simpsons. If you want to make a joke about masons without actually calling them that, 'stonecutters' is really your best option.

[LastFootnote]

Let's start guessing card names.  I think Stonecutter is likely.

Agreed, especially since we know there was an early card named Stonecutter. No reason not to reuse the name.

[SirPeebles]

I'm curious about the coin tokens.  I wonder if you'll be able to spend them freely during the buy phase, or if you'll need to somehow use a card to spend some.  Or maybe otherwise limited to spending one per turn, or something.

[SirPeebles]

Throne Room: It cost $3 for forever. You could open Feast / Throne Room, some people enjoyed that. You could get it with "Stonecutter," that was significant. Okay I am only going to do 4 pages, so I will not make it to Stonecutter. Stonecutter was "Gain a card costing up to $3, if it's an action play it." You Stonecutter up Throne Rooms and Villages and Woodcutters (once that was around) and then buy "Towers" to rake in points.

Maybe Stonecutter will make a comeback, but this time you need to spend a coin token if you wish to play the Action card?  Anyhow, this is my chance to make ridiculous guesses so that I can look back with shame in a few months.

[AHoppy]

"Working on a masterpiece". Could that be an alternative win condition?

I was thinking this could be the extra cards (there are still extra cards right?) and you have to be the first to do something to get them...

"Release Date: spring"

It's ALREADY Spring. Well, it's Autumn here which means that it's Spring for most of the world. Which means it should be out some time in the next 2 months or so!

It's only three days into Spring though, so up to 3 months really .

[zporiri]

i'm almost certainly reading too much into this, but the description doesn't say that this is the 8th and final addition to Dominion. possibly leaving the door open for more expansion in the future? don x said that this would be the last of the regular expansions

[Watno]

I guess there won't be cards except kingdom cards in there, so we'll have 7 blanks. Still hyped.

[werothegreat]

Still don't know that.

And so much for not having any more tokens.  This one will be a little more expensive.

Oh, and I think I just creamed myself with this new information.

[Watno]

It adds 13 new Kingdom cards to Dominion. It has coin tokens that you can save to spend later, and cards you can get more out of by paying extra for them.

I think extra cards would have been mentioned here.
Also it has the same suggested retail price as alchemy and cornucopia

[Tables]

I guess there won't be cards except kingdom cards in there, so we'll have 7 blanks. Still hyped.

7-2*(no. victory cards), so probably more likely 5 or even 3.

[Beyond Awesome]

I can't wait to join the cheese guild. 

EDIT: Also, here is my prediction for this set. I predict 8 of the 13 kingdom cards will be Guilds. My guess is that if you pay the "normal" cost the card goes into your deck. So, for instance there might be a Lab guild which draws 2 cards as an action, but if you pay extra, it stays out like a permanent duration and every turn you gain 1 coin token and maybe draw 1 card because Lab draws cards. I think we will get a very cheap guild that for $3 or so, it stays out and only produces one coin token each turn.
