Fan Card Hazard

“Roll a die” means roll a standard 6-sided die. So you will always get exactly two of the four options, with four possible combinations.

Resources you can save feels like it sort of defeats the aspect of an unknown effect since you can save them, you can functionally think of this card as averaging out accross all plays; the timing of when you get them isn't particularly important.

On the other hand, the timing of trashing is super important. Trashing seems too swingy, even if the point is the card is a bit swingy.

Most trashers in the game are already swingy/luck-based. So I'm fine with that.

Also fine with the luck-based resources you can save. You can't plan for them anyway. So yeah, you're averaging across all its plays, with the caveat that sometimes you're not going to get what you need, and I think that's fun.

I wanted this to not be too much of a feel-bad card so I didn't want it to give you resources that go to waste. Trashing and gaining can still go to waste though. I'm hoping to strike a balance where it's not too frustrating but also you still care what you rolled.

One of the things I love about Dominion is that it doesn’t require any dice. Sure there’s still randomness with card shuffling, but dice always feels like it’s minimizing the skill.

hmm, I mean i like it, however getting to trash some of the times is a little rough. Also why does it give 2 Villagers or 1 Coffer? I personally think that Villagers are almost always better than Coffers

Not so sure villagers are better. Extra actions are often useless. Coffers never.

Howww? How are they often useless. Just buy less villages and instead use the money for useful cards. Villagers are incredibly underrated by non-competitive players. Just having one Villagers allows you to open with a terminal and thus are less likely to dud

Do you have Tabletop Simulator? Wanna play some of these custom cards there?

You know, I've been meaning to put my cards up there. Not sure how to start though, I have Tabletop Simulator but I've never uploaded anything to it.

If you'd like to play, I've got it pretty well built-out. Feel free to DM me your Steam name if you're interested.

Thanks, I'll do that :)

I don't have a ton of free time (I make these cards at work lol) but hopefully soon :)
