Traits refer to the pile using the name of the Trait; for example Pious refers to "Pious cards." That just means, any card from that pile.

July-September 2019, hosted by aku chi: In each round of voting, people were presented with a card and were asked to vote where in the partial list it should be inserted; the card was then inserted at the median vote Buy phase, may play an Action from hand per copy of this you have in play. In the end Inspired was the surviving +Action thing.

Usually this won't make a difference, but trashing Search and gaining Loot can affect your score due to abilities such as Fairgrounds , Tomb , and Keep , and there are a few abilities that might allow you to play the gained Loot before the end of your final turn and use it to buy some additional . I had tons of cards. I took out a lot of cards, based mainly on what fit the set best; they are waiting around in case they get to be real boys someday. I ended up with two minor themes: choose ones and recursion. Late in the going I scrapped two split piles, which let me fit in three regular piles (which all ended up being cards from split piles), plus an ally. Amphora , Doubloons , Endless Chalice , Figurehead , Hammer , Insignia , Jewels , Orb , Prize Goat , Puzzle Box , Sextant , Shield , Spell Scroll , Staff , Sword Events: Delay • Desperation Gamble • Pursue • Ride • Toil Enhance • March • Transport Banish • Bargain • Invest • Seize the Day Commerce • Demand • Stampede Reap Enclave Alliance • Populate The year was 2020. Menagerie was coming out soon, and I had a lot of non-Dominion projects in motion. I was playing games with friends two nights a week. Eating in restaurants. Walking past strangers on the sidewalk without a care in the world.

Also a VP card. Worth 10VP if you have 2+ copies. The "is VP" part was soon dropped for being too hard to remember and not usually relevant (they go together). It lasted a while and was interesting sometimes and then was "I must replace this card that does nothing." What is this even. "+1 Buy. The next time you draw a Victory card, +3 Cards and discard this from play. Until then, play with your hand revealed." This is a Duration card, it does its stuff twice on the turn after you play it. Then, cantrip this turn, normal effects next turn. I adored that card. It kept having issues though. The first edition of Intrigue was also a standalone game and came with its own set of Basic cards. Second Edition removed the Basic cards, and replaced six Kingdom cards with seven new ones. If you Throne Room a Search, Throne Room will stay out with Search until a pile empties, and then you'll trash Search once but gain two Loots (and discard Throne Room that turn).For Seaside , Prosperity , and Hinterlands 2E hot takes (all hosted by tracer), the new cards were inserted into the 2021 list, in the method used in 2019. Instead of following its instructions, may play cheaper card with restrictions. Way of Band of Misfits. Ways were poor here, and Band of Misfits is awful here. So slow.

When the pandemic hit, at first I just didn't work on games. I wrote some stories and novellas. Eventually my daughter Natalie started playing games with me. At the same time I typed up a few Dominion cards, in case external playtesters could somehow playtest them. One day in May I set up Dominion, which Natalie'd been resisting trying, and we played it and nothing bad happened. So after that, we played it a bunch. So I worked on an expansion! That's how they get you. Following the reintroduction of Duration cards in Adventures, every expansion since has also included them. At the start of each of your turns for the rest of the game, choose one: Gain a card costing up to , setting it aside on this; or put a card from this into your hand. Events: Alms • Borrow • Quest Save Scouting Party • Travelling Fair Bonfire • Expedition • Ferry • Plan Mission • Pilgrimage Ball • Raid • Seaway • Trade Lost Arts • Training Inheritance Pathfinding July-December 2022, hosted by nasmith99: In each round of voting, people were presented with a random card and were asked to vote where in the partial list it should be inserted; the card was then inserted at the median vote. 2022 was a noteworthy year because it featured Allies , Plunder , multiple second editions, and errata that affected several cards in big ways (e.g. Merchant Guild and Port ).I tried cantrip Silver gainer again (outtake from Dark Ages). It came with a Cargo so it would be good.

Events: Hey, why not more Events? It took me a while to get to them but then I got some great ones. I tried to make some that related to "next time" and that was fruitful. See the Additional rules section for Duration cards in Dominion: Plunder regarding things happening "the next time".

Many Duration cards in Plunder are Treasures. These are just like normal Treasures, except that they stay in play until they're done doing things, like other Durations do. Cards that were gained and set aside on Quartermaster are still yours at the end of the game. So you can gain Estate s and leave them set aside forever (effectively exiling them). Nimm eine Karte, die bis zu kostet, direkt zur Seite (auf diese Karte) oder nimm eine auf diese Karte gelegte Karte auf deine Hand. I had the name before I had much else. The intersection of treasures and durations! It was also the name of a card, but man we'd been down that road before. A lot of cards then ended up based on flavor, at least initially; names that would be cool in the set.
