[Fan made] mini-expansion coming soon

64x64
Posted - Edited
#61
Hi
A fan-made mini-expansion is nearly finished - I plan to publish it before November.

Lost & Found
Many things and even more people got lost on the 7th continent. Some want to be found, some do not, and some should not.

Contents
The expansion contains 90 cards:
  • 1 rules card
  • 1 "Book of Idols" card
  • 1 Clue card for the new curse of "The Lost Artefact"
  • 87 numbered Blue Adventure cards forming the Blue Adventure deck

When creating a New topic, it would be nice to see what Forum/Subforum are you writing to.
Once you click "New topic", you cannot see this information until you submit your post.

Can Frankenstein get a card back in the middle of a check?

I think that "if you can use a botany card" simply means "If there is a plant on your terrain that is also shown on any botany card you have".
I can see the reasoning behind the stricter "use" interpretation, but I think the simpler one makes sense too.
We can analyse the precise wording, but I would be best if the designers could tell us the original intent...

PS: As for the abilities without timing restrictions, I think that using them "literally whenever you want" could lead to some strange/breaking cases if we really tried to find them - though that's really just an unsupported gut feeling of mine.

When creating a new topic, when I click in the spoiler tag in Preview, the post is unexpectedly submited.
(The problem does not happen when editing existing post, I'm not sure about topic reply)

Will try it here

Applying multiple banners - clarification needed

64x64
Posted - Edited

This is what the rules say about numbox with a banner:

When a numbox comes with a banner (blue or purple), the active player may either take a card matching the number in the numbox, or take a card whose number is equal to the number in the numbox + the number associated with the pictograph in the banner [...]

Note that it does not say "take a card if available" - such card should always exist.

Now, what if you are in possession of more cards with same +:flag_blue_sm:/:flag_curse_sm: ?
Can those banners be added up and used together?

There are (at least) 3 such situations in the base game:
  1. Two :flag_curse_sm:
    "gem"
    banners - you are supposed to add them together, no one will dispute that.
  2. Two :flag_blue_sm: "light/magnifying glass" banners (found on the Torch and
    Glowing
    ) - are you supposed to be able to add them together? No there are no cards when using +9+9 in
    the cave.

  3. The same goes for "rope" :flag_blue_sm: (found on the Rope and
    some exploration card
    )


What I conclude:
  • You can not combine :flag_blue_sm: (nothing in the rules allows you to)
  • You can (sometimes?) combine :flag_curse_sm:


I suggest one of the following errata:
  • Say it explicitly in the rules that the same :flag_blue_sm: cannot be combined but :flag_curse_sm: can (counter-intuitive solution).
  • OR Say in the rules that you can combine the same banners - but only if the resulting card is available (lazy solution, but allows possible use of "double torch" mechanic in the future).
  • OR Replace one of the :flag_curse_sm:
    "gem"
    banners with a different design, as is done with the "cogs" (strict solution, but disallows use of "double banner" in the future)
  • OR Add special text for 1. allowing the "double banner" in this instance only (ad-hoc solution, adds a (documented) exception)

It's not a mistake. "?" means "any number" here - and there is a reason for that.

Do you resolve all of a consequence box before moving on to cards it draws, or do you resolve them as soon as you draw it/choose them as a hunt result, and then go back and resolve the rest of the text box that sent you there?


My thoughts about this: the rules state to always finish one action completely before starting another one. So I think the correct order when successfully hunting is:

  1. Activate the hunt success consequence by drawing X hunt cards
  2. Discard non-predator if bloody, choose one hunt result and return the others.
  3. Banish the hunting card and replace it with the golden one (if applicable), this completes the hunt action.
  4. Only then look at the hunt result and fight the predator / take meat / etc.

In practice, we usually deal with the hunt result before finishing the hunting card consequence, but technically it's not the right order.

Second Edition Upgrade Cards

Wow, they offered to reprint all the wave 1 cards, see the latest KS update. :thumb_up:
I'll just hope they are not completely financially ruined after this ...

No official word yet - it will probably come after the wave1 shipping business is done - the issue was mentioned already here on BGG and KS so the creators are aware of it.

What I wish for in the new expansions ...

This post is not a suggestion list for the designers, it's just my personal brainstorming of what I would like to see (more of) in the October releases.
(I don't own the "terrible trio" expansions, so some of these ideas may have been implemented already, don't tell me.)

  • more reasons to pray at graves
  • a skill allowing non-matching character-specific skills (e.g. "teacher" or "adaptable")
  • a skill for expanding your inventory (e.g. "strong")
  • an item for expanding your hand limit (e.g. "sketchbook")
  • more uses for the blue banners (they are quite underused in the base game, except for the raft)
  • especially more uses of the
    bottle and shield
    banners (and more items providing those banners)
  • situation(s) where more than 1 banner can be used for the same action (e.g. you find a strange substance and can either fill the bottle or let the goat drink it or see how it reacts to light)
  • more (curse unrelated) major quests of medium complexity
  • speaking of major quests: more uses of "The Stone"
  • more
    collectible panoramas/murals

  • a task that would require players to split would be nice to see (would need special rules for single player)
  • bonuses that persist to the next adventure

Note: sometimes I'm deliberately vague as to not spoil anything.

Of course, I'm looking forward to all the things already announced like non-standard food, hot-air balloon, new skills, modes, explorers, treasures, areas etc. :)

Did not get a banished cards divider!

I think that someone else has reported the missing Banished divider but then found it stuck to another divider - check them well.

State card Bloody

Every brown box in the game needs you to use a white box.

Short explanation:
:action_swim: (white box) is an action that you can take.
For example, the Tired state has :action_rest: - you can do the action to return the Tired state.

:action_condition: is an (bonus) effect activated when corresponding :action_empty: action is taken.
For example, a card in your hand may give you :action_condition: :icon_succes: - it means that every time you do the action depicted in :action_condition: you will get a bonus (1 :icon_succes: in this case)

The Bloody state works exactly the same as the rest of the game - it gives you a bonus when you manage to do a :action_swim: acton - that bonus is returning the state card.

[No error] Missing cards 109?

64x64

#74
It is ok to not have the 109 card (or quite a bit of others - see the official card list).

The reason for "109" divider is actually to separate cards 100-108 from the rest (you will understand when you see them).
I actually made some extra dividers (101, 102, 103, ..., 108) to make the gameplay even more convenient

Card 707

#75
If I remember correctly, the card you mentions says
If you are using Phileas Fogg character take 707
.
Since no one can currently satisfy that condition, you would never need to take that (missing) card, so don't worry.
(Yes it will come in wave 2 expansion)

Torch and “thumbs up”

#76
Yes, you'll need to
take the action twice with the torch
to see all the #128 cards (
possible because those are both temporary events
)
As for the #119s - the green card is a permanent event - when in play you cannot repeat the action to see the
goldern #119
. I'm not going to say how to get to that one.

Torch and “thumbs up”

The :thumb_up: contains the number of card that allowed you to take/compute this card's number - and that is exactly card #94, the terrain card with the torch :flag_blue_sm:. So it's all right.

4) I think I saw someone say that if 2+ characters move together that the ability on their cards means you don’t need to draw any cards? We were playing that one person moves for a card, and then the second person moves for free as they are going to terrain card with another explorer but I may have been wrong.


If any number of players move to an empty terrain (empty here means without a fire token or another player figure), they pay the full cost printed on the terrain they move from.

If any number of players move to a terrain with fire or another player, each of the moving players can apply the -1:card_blue: discount.

For example, when 2 players stand on a terrain with :action_move:3:card_blue:0:icon_succes:
1. if both move together to an empty terrain, draw 3:card_blue: once
2. if both move to a terrain with a fire token, draw 1:card_blue: once
3. if only one player moved to the fire, draw 2:card_blue:, if later the 2nd player moves there too draw 2:card_blue: again

Also note that the "moving to fire or player" discount works only for moving via :action_move: (because sometimes other actions must be used to move, e.g. :action_ski:)
