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.

I think such a card would have to cost $6. At $3 I'd buy only them until they were gone.

Maybe you can only have one of each guild card out at a time or something.

I think if permanent effects were being introduced, it would have said so on the box.

[brokoli]

Yeah !

(but the box cover is ugly  )

150 cards? I am hoping for 150 jobs.

Not including Promos, there will be 200 kingdom cards with the release of Guilds.  Coincidence?

I believe so.

To expand on this, I am pretty sure Donald has been asked this and said there was no planning to get to that number.

[werothegreat]

I think with the overpaying we'll get something like this (obviously this isn't balanced):

Trading Village - Action - $3

+1 Card, +2 Actions
-------
When you buy this, you may pay $1 extra.  If you do, gain a Silver as well.




Factory - Action - $4

+2 card, something something
------
When you buy this, you may pay $2 extra.  If you do, gain an extra copy.

Man, you'd think he would take credit for ultra-masterful planning or something.

[enfynet]

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

Without digging through the secret histories and interviews, I believe I remember Donald mentioning that Witch-esque cards had a "cost to curse" on them. I.E. Spending coins to give curses.  I believe we will see a similar mechanic with this one.

Didn't he mention having something like 200 card ideas when he proposed the idea to RGG? Not nearly all of them survived, but I think he had close to that number for a while.

Now I might have counted wrong, but assuming I haven't... was it intentional to have exactly 200 kingdom cards after Guilds is out, excluding promos?

You have counted correctly. It was not intentional. The large sets are 25 cards so if there were eight it would naturally be 200 for all of them and not seem special. Instead one was split into 12/13, and then there is no 12 to go with Guilds' 13, but Dark Ages has an extra 10 and as it happens two of the 25-card sets actually got 26.

If the "no-one possibly needs a placeholder card for Copper" technology had been around earlier, there would be 1-2 more cards, and Dark Ages might have had a few more or less depending on what happened with the cards that eat up the extra space.

"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 .

Oh yeah I forgot you do it weirdly over there.

[GendoIkari]

I'm really curious about how it will track how much you spent on "pay more for more" cards.

Funny that fan cards have used both of the mechanics being introduced here!

I'm guessing the card itself won't change. It'll be an optional on-buy effect, perhaps?

Yeah, I think you and Wero are correct... a one-time effect makes a lot more sense.

Weirdy? Starting spring at the spring equinox is weird? What do you do over in... was about to say US but the comment makes that obviously not the case. Australia?

It's Fall there I believe... all the seasons in the southern hemisphere are reverse from the northern. They have summer in December, etc.

[Jimmmmm]

Autumn starts on March 1 etc.

[WanderingWinder]

March 1? Now that is weird. Shouldn't it be on an equinox?

[werothegreat]

Not necessarily.  It would make more sense for "midwinter" to actually be in the middle of winter.

[Tables]

Yeah, March 1st is pretty odd... at the very least, one would expect January/April/July/October for season starts.

Midwinter and midsummer are really just bad names.

Not necessarily.  It would make more sense for "midwinter" to actually be in the middle of winter.

A couple things about this. First, you are talking solstice, whilst I was talking equinox. Not super relevant. Second, 'midwinter' is a day which has colloquially been applied to the day on which the solstice occurred, but I certainly wasn't advocating such a term, nor do solstices need to be tied to them by any means. Third, it's a semantic argument - I mean, what defines winter? One could argue that winter is defined such that the astronomical event stands in the middle of the season. Or you could talk about it being cold. So, the thing you have to remember is that whilst the days get shorter or longer in relation to the movement of the sun, the shortest day of the year is not the coldest (well, rarely it is by fluke, but...). It's the same reason that the hottest part of a day is generally in the afternoon, and not at noon. It may be maximally heating at noon, but it continues to heat up for a bit afterwards.

YMMV

[Watno]

It's 150 cards. All cards not used for kingdom cards or their randomizers are blank.
