Oh yeah? Any cool published games I can check out?

I'm in the early stages of working on an asymmetrical cooperative deckbuilder. For me mechanics come first and theming last, but roughly: - one player is the town - one player defends the town The Circle of Life Each card has a battle side (top) and a town side (bottom). In this game...

There were a couple posts I've deleted because they were crossing the line for me in terms of tone. You can disagree with each other, but let's try to keep the tone more positive and respectful. :slicin:

The bones are their money?

Out of all of this I mostly think 'loyalty' is badly named. Full agree that battles are awkward flavor-wise and don't feel like battles. Maybe the mechanics are solid enough to justify. One of the best things about Netrunner was that everything could be "attacked", so more permanents that...

Where's the draft report?

Exactly this.

What about the protection from colorless cycle.

How dare you.

I have a thought but not sure how half-baked it is... some idea that signaling is more relevant to high-power cards (relative to your environment) than low-power cards. If these cards are 10th-15th picks, by the time I'm picking them I've already seen like 80+ other cards. Generally agree...

I think he means like... the counts from when you add up 24 packs are 'all over the place' (by cube standards).

How many of these devices are on trains?

I mostly agree with Brad, but to ask a probing question: what is the purpose of your classification. In the draft, the card is just the card, so what design problems are being addressed by your classification system? (no wrong answers)

I don't know, when my wife started playing even her starter deck had a Planeswalker in it. I doubt the card type is very rare in this day and age, they've even printed Planeswalkers at uncommon.

Specifically, it's a weighted expected value problem.: E(pack) = p(pack with no ring) * E(pack with no ring) + p(pack with ring) * E(pack with ring) When the ring is found, the two probability values go to 1 and 0 respectively. The other values (e.g. expected value of pack with no ring) I...

Vel you were mixing up probability with expected value. The post I made was an illustration of why the two are not at all the same. I couldn't tell you the actual percent because I don't know how many packs they'll print, the value of a pack without the ring, the value of the ring itself, or how...

Thought experiment: suppose 100% of the set value is in a single card (fairly analogous to an actual lottery). There may be a 0.00000whatever% chance of opening, but once it's opened, the value of all unopened packs drop 100%.

That's not how math works.
