[Dominion : l'Intrigue]
Outre la news sur TT dévoilant trois cartes de la future extension de Dominion (prévue pour juin), l'auteur a glissé quelques infos sur les forums BGG :
- Some people want to see more Victory cards. There are more Victory cards.
- Some people want to see more decision-making in your turn. There is more decision-making. This kind of thing was put off from the main set in order to keep the game fast for new players.
- Some people want to see the three pile ending come up more. It will come up more.
- Some people want more player interaction. There are not actually more interactive cards than usual - the main set has six (five attacks and Council Room, not counting Moat as it depends on attacks), making for ~2.5 per game if you deal out a random set of ten, and that seems like a good amount to me. The set is more interactive though, due to the interactive cards seeing more play on average relative to the main set ones, due to some of them being more interactive in their interaction, and due to the three piles ending coming up more often.
- Some people want more ways to hand out Curses. There are more of those.
- Some people want more Reactions. There will probably only be about one Reaction per expansion. The good ones are hard to come by. There is just one new Reaction.
- Some people want Copper, Estate, and Duchy to be more relevant. There are cards that make them more relevant.
Traduction rapide :
- De nouvelles cartes de victoire (comme le Duc qu'on voit sur la news TT)
- Des cartes qui nécessitent de faire des choix pendant son tour (un petit point faible à l'heure actuelle, les mains se jouent assez automatiquement)
- Des cartes incitant plus facilement à terminer la partie en vidant 3 tas
- De nouvelles cartes « interactives » plus intéressantes (comme dans le jeu de bases, 6 cartes « interactives », soit 2 ou 3 par partie quand on tire les cartes au hasard)
- De nouvelles cartes distribuant des Malédictions
- Une nouvelle carte de Réaction
- Des cartes rendant les Cuivres, Domaines et Duchés plus intéressants.
Any expansion has to include certain kinds of things in order to keep the game working. For example there have to be new cards that give you +2 Actions. Those cards make some kinds of decks possible that I will always want possible (not every game, but you know, in general). Of course the rest of what the card does can be anything.
De nouvelles cartes avec +2 Actions (comme Festival et Village dans le jeu de base), rendant les jeux « à combo » possibles, seront incluses, de manière à voir ce genre de decks continuer à apparaitre régulièrement.
The most significant thing about the new set to me is that it adds more variety. You go from exploring a 25-card space to exploring a 50-card space. You can't see everything in the base 25 cards but you can sure feel like you have. With 50 cards the amount of variety drastically increases. You will see new deck possibilities much more often.
Plus de variété, 10 cartes parmi 25, ça faisait dans les trois millions de configurations possibles. C'est beaucoup, mais en pratique, beaucoup ont tendance à se ressembler. 10 parmi 50, ça fait plus de 10 milliards de combinaisons, et ça va continuer à exploser avec chaque extension.
L'extension suivante, « Seaside », serait prévue pour Essen 2009.
