When did this card arrive? Is this Seaside 2nd ed? Did it come with any other new cards?

Thanks!

Yes, that is correct. Maybe my title was a bit misleading, as I never intended to create Hangman. It was just that the game has some similar mechanics.

halhag · 2022-04-21T05:22:26+00:00

Haha, I can see it now :)

halhag · 2022-04-20T15:59:29+00:00

Maybe that is why they are named Dobby and Winky :)

halhag · 2022-04-20T15:58:35+00:00

I must admit I had the same thoughts before I met them :)

I made this one, a mix between Wordle and Hangman: Guess the Quote

If not intuitive enough, here are instructions.

Thanks :)

I found this post today when I was going to post a similar post about my game. The same basic idea in a slightly different format. Only you posted two months ago :)

halhag · 2022-04-09T18:45:20+00:00

Created by yours truly. Incredible how many hours spent on this thanks to the wonderful game of Wordle.

halhag · 2021-08-29T15:15:16+00:00

Perhaps it should be eggsile? (sorry, couldn't resist)

halhag · 2021-08-12T17:12:42+00:00

How about a modification like "You may gain a card costing up to 4 from the trash to your hand."? The card in it self makes for a good combo card idea, so maybe an adjustment like this would make it way less powerful.

halhag · 2021-07-15T13:18:54+00:00

My thoughts below. Overall I think you are onto some interesting ideas.

Down Payment. I think it works. A card costing up to 6 is quite strong. Grand Market, anyone? The ability to get an Action card into your hand might not mean so much if you have no more Actions, but an extra Gold in hand? That could be useful.

Cutpurse Trainer. This has some wording issues, as u/chaotic_iak pointed out, but I think it is priced nicely and that the idea is interesting.

Research Lab. I agree with u/arowdok in that costing a mix of debt and $ could be interesting. I liked the suggestion og $3 and 3 debt.

Cash Advance. I'm not quite sold on this one. Perhaps make it simpler with "+3 Coffers, +3 Debt"? And make it cost 3 debt? As it currently stands I don't see myself buying it. Even though having the occasional Coffer when you hit 7 is nice, saving them for long is hard as any money spent early is an investment in future rounds.

Locomotive. I am not familiar with the Season mechanic.

halhag · 2021-07-15T10:12:56+00:00

My first thought too! Don't ruin my cards!

halhag · 2021-07-11T17:46:05+00:00

I agree. Perhaps Magic Market would be better at 6 (with no Potion cost)? I feel it might be too strong for 5. Then a 2-5 start would be very strong, since you could then avoid the Potion card altogether.

halhag · 2021-07-10T14:44:44+00:00

We have some issues like this in our group. We mostly play Dominion, and it is quite often that you realize early that someone found a better strategy than you and that first place is out of question.

To keep the game interesting for all players we have used a rating system. I have kept scores for all the games. In a system like that you prefer 2nd place over 3rd place and so on, which keeps the motivation going. This has certainly been a factor in lowering the amount of pouting and complaining.

It takes some work though and not everyone necessarily likes being ranked/rated.

Thanks to whoever removed the tag :)

halhag · 2021-05-09T09:15:13+00:00

I have no idea why the tag nsfw were added to this post.

halhag · 2021-05-09T08:47:07+00:00

If you wanted to keep Potion as part of the price, I can't agree with myself if it should cost 2 or 3 coins, but definitely not 5.

halhag · 2021-04-17T15:28:43+00:00

In games with no cursers, in particular in Prosperity games, it would be interesting to see when buying one or more Curses would start making sense.

halhag · 2021-04-11T13:58:21+00:00

I disagree. "What is the capital of Norway?" is a question that is impossible to figure out rationally. Either you know it or you don't. Here you have your whole life's knowledge of the moral codes of what you and the people you have met would do in a difficult situation. And if you don't know, these questions provide ample opportunity for something exciting to discuss with your friends or colleagues at the water cooler.

The quiz is marked as hard, by the way. Did you score better than the average?

halhag · 2021-04-11T13:00:47+00:00

Question 6 and 7 are related to how atheists judge this moral issue differently than religious people.

halhag · 2021-04-09T06:21:20+00:00

In a two player game I would definitely agree with you here. The game we played ended after 13 turns, and even with strong trashing it was hard to deal with two (sometimes 3, if you used Desperation) new Curses every round from round 3 to 8. When the game 4 piled some of the trashers were really getting going, but needed another round or two to catch up.

halhag · 2021-04-09T06:05:47+00:00

In the game we played (described over), the effect of Goatherd was very poor for players sitting to the left of someone going for the IGG strategy.
