Re: Game no Longer Being Published

Plans to pull the game down from here too? or you may go play nazi somewhere else and let people enjoy the games they like? exactly. second hand-offense is immensely condescending. If the game itself contains something objectionable then that is unacceptable, but I don't care what someone I don't k...

Re: Steward too powerfull

Steward is very weak. He only is useful if you have Beekeeper or Gravedigger, which are insanely powerful already. These are the actual OP cards, but they're not so broken as to feel unfair if you play against them properly.

Re: First player advantage

This is absolutely correct. The first player advantage is not overwhelming, but it is significant. The first player gets to take the best card from 9. The second player gets to take the best card from 6. This however is much worse just the larger card pool however, since the gap between the best car...

Re: Too much town center

Town centre is risky. You take several actions to get a few silver back. Too weak imo. If your opponent is doing too much TC you should win easily.

Re: Auction is needed

Which characters do you consistently guess correctly and what are their relative rankings? The three characters that get free cards are very powerful (Ada, Caroline and Fredrick), as this is free actions AND not exposing yourself to arrest. The other characters need specific apprentices to match th...

Re: Auction is needed

I’m not following the auction suggestion. Could you explain it more? Basically, instead of being assigned a character, you get to select one from the three or four randomly drawn, after seeing what apprentices are available. Then, the simplest case is you bid victory points to go first in this sele...

Re: Are the bugs being worked on?

Agree, this and the Fara bug are really game breaking.
Some balance changes or a draft/auction would make this game be in a fine state if no further support is intended, but the current situation is a little disrespectful to the paying player base.

Auction is needed

I love this game, but my play group refuses to play it any longer because the severe imbalance between the asymmetric characters (and symmetric is far less interesting and strategic). None of the characters are overall unplayable, but the issues are that : a) certain combos of characters are just no...
