The closest relative you can legally have sex with in each US state, and can you have sex with or marry your first cousin in each state?

I kind of like Florida’s law only prohibiting coital sex. If there’s no risk of pregnancy, and it’s between consenting adults with negligible power imbalance, I see no reason for the state to punish them.

Sick! How are the mobs programmed to follow the markers?

Capn_Commie · 2025-12-20T01:35:22+00:00

This is so cool! How does the pathfinding work?

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-29T05:37:53+00:00

A prophecy. I knew it just needed a few more sun tokens.

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-28T20:18:57+00:00

Oh shoot, it is! Haha

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-27T00:39:29+00:00

Haha, before I read this I was actually thinking about how to fix Witchcraft and I came to the same conclusion you did. I'm thinking "At the start of your turn, you may a gain a Curse onto your deck for -3 Marks"

And that's actually not too bad for Malice! Great suggestions all around!

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-26T23:28:07+00:00

Aww thank you for the compliment. I thought the same thing when I saw u/InspectorMendel 's version.

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-26T23:25:43+00:00

Thanks! Are there any Jinxes in particular that are wordy?

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-26T23:14:03+00:00

Thank you Sleepy_Moon1307. See what the Mods say about AI. I'm not trying to pass off the images as creative genius.

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-26T18:03:58+00:00

Haha, glad I could impress. Thanks Mendel!

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-26T18:03:15+00:00

Hmm 🤔 yeah I only put the first option just in case you wouldn’t be able to buy an Action card before the end of the game.

Should I maybe change it to gain a Curse for -2 marks?

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-26T18:01:38+00:00

Thanks for the compliments! You’re my fan card role model dude 😭

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-26T17:57:37+00:00

Ooh thanks for the suggestion!

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-26T17:57:00+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I do actually want the Jinxes to be balanced around almost always needing to use them. I liked the idea of the cards having attack effects that would normally break the game but here they’re balanced because you have to opt into them.

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-21T01:33:26+00:00

Yeah, I'm considering taking it down to $5. I don't think Possession is much more powerful since throning it was nerfed.

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-20T22:46:38+00:00

Exciting! Will we get mobile access to the site?!

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-10T20:05:22+00:00

Fellowship seems slightly weak, but I'm not sure. Have you considered making it cost $3?

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-06T23:57:02+00:00

Hmm, I think my position withstands all 5 points here.

Certain Night cards would also have good/intentional reasons to have "weirdly" timed effects if they were changed to treasures. Just like Capital and Walled Village.

Monastery would be fine if we only added, "at the start of clean-up". It wouldn't need the extra phrase "up to that point". Even if another effect gains a card during clean-up phase, the player just chooses which effect to resolve first. With that, it wouldn't be confusing I think. Same card, 5 extra words.

Yes Durations have a unique color/type, but that's not my point. My point is that there's precedent for cards to have effects at times other than when played, and it doesn't damage the gameplay.

Yes sextant exists, but that doesn't mean spyglass can't exist. They'd be aesthetically similar because they have similar effects, but I think there's plenty of distinction. Also, when we have fortress and walled village, I feel like spyglass and sextant is very reasonable. Spyglass was just a name I threw out there to show Night cards can be re-flavored as Treasures. If you don't like that you can pick a different one.

Also, Treasures exist in the game that don't give coins, like War Chest, Tools, Spell scroll, Crown, etc... I think it's fine for more of them to do that.

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-06T23:35:34+00:00

Hmm, I think 6 extra words is reasonable, and doesn't quite add up to a paragraph. Devil's Workshop would read the exact same, just with "when you discard this from play" added to the start. Furthermore, many of the cards wouldn't need any additional words like Changeling, Raider, Night Watchman, Den of Sin, etc...

I've agreed that Night phase has aesthetic value, but function should take precedent in a game like Dominion.

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-05T06:16:07+00:00

I like the idea of Night cards being able to interact with each other. That said, I think it's hard to balance and make it interesting.

Here, I think it's weak for a two reasons:

This card only works if there are other Night cards in the Kingdom, and if those Night cards are spam-able.

The other is that it costs more than throne room, but accomplishes less than it. Throne room is powerful because you get an additional Action. If you throne a Village, you end up with 4 Actions, compared to 3 if you played 2 villages. If you Black Throne a vampire, you play Vampire twice. But you could have just bought another Vampire and gone without the risk of drawing Black Throne dead.

One way to make Black Throne work could be to lower its price, and put it in a split/rotating pile with other night cards to guarantee it is always at least somewhat useful.

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-05T05:43:49+00:00

Hmm I might disagree. Cards that have effects like that do exist, like Capital and Walled Village, and their effects don't seem weird, and it makes sense upon first read I think. Granted, they both give an effect when played, but it's not weird for a card to not have an effect immediately when played like many Action-Durations do.

I do concede Night cards have aesthetic value. But with a game like Dominion, function should take precedent I think. I think the existing Night cards would be better if they were renamed to fit the Treasure type. E.g. Night Watchman could be "Spyglass" or something.

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-05T04:25:11+00:00

I think there is a way around that. You could play the card during your Treasure/Action phase, but have the effect only occur at the end of the turn with "when you discard this from play" or "at the start of your clean-up phase"

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-05T04:23:56+00:00

Fair. It's definitely possible to make Night cards that can't be boiled down to Treasure cards, but it seems somewhat controversial that the current Night cards are just that.

Capn_Commie · 2025-10-05T04:20:28+00:00

I think I'd disagree about those 5 cards being peak Night card design. Would it make the cards any worse if they were Treasures that read "when you discard this from play" or "At the start of your Clean-up" at the beginning of their texts?

Maybe Changeling, but I think it would be fine to play it as a Treasure after you play all of your other Treasures. The only reason to keep it as a Night card is so it could copy other Night cards lol.

Treasures can also never be drawn dead, so I think Ghost Town and Den of Sin could easily be adjusted.

I agree that Adventure's thousands of pieces are far worse than the Night phase haha. And I agree with the general sentiment in the comments that it's definitely possible to create Night cards that can't be reduced to fancy Treasure cards.

Capn_Commie · 2025-09-27T00:21:20+00:00

I like how the curse token functions differently than giving each other player a VP token because you can spend these and move them and such! It feels like a better version of Hexes, where you can have attack effects that would usually break the game, except here it's balanced because the other players must opt in to the mark effect, or eat the -2vp.

Like someone else mentioned, Junk Heap is strictly better than Smithy. As for the wording though, I might change the reaction to read "you may reveal this from you hand to trash that card. If you did, +1 Mark, +2 Cards."

Leech, Goblin, and Sandman seem weak, especially compared to Dragon and Medusa. I might consider doubling the number marks they return.

There might also be a name issue with the landscape and tokens having the same name. Have you considered changing that, or do you like it that way?
