So with Rebellion in Beta, there is a lot more choices for the card setups in the menu.

What do all these setups do? We used to just go with Random, but wouldn't mind mixing it up!

I would like to know the distribution of cards for each setup as well.
I played some game in Random setup with the expansion, and there are some cards I have never seen yet, are they all implemented (besides those belonging to the Titan module) ?

Assuming the setups are not random, here are what I got when testing:
(Beginner, Advanced, Goddess, Titan)

Beginner cards
The Elder --- The Blacksmith's Hammer
Wild Spirits --- The Blacksmith's Chest
The Guardian's Owl --- The Silver Hind
Minotaur --- The Satyrs
Gorgon --- Ferryman
Mirror of The Abyss --- Helmet of Invisibility
Sphinx --- Hydra --- Cancer

Advanced cards
The Elder --- The Blacksmith's Hammer
Wild Spirits --- The Blacksmith's Chest
Celestial Ship --- Great Bear
The Guardian's Shield --- Tenacious Boar
Triton --- Cerberus
Mirror of The Abyss --- Helmet of Invisibility
Cyclops --- Typhon --- Sentinel

Recommanded (extension) with Module Goddess active
The Tree --- The Twins
The Wood Nymph --- The Companion
The Sun Golem --- The Moon Golem
The Time Golem --- The Celestial Die
The Goldsmith --- The Mists
The Abyssal Trident --- The Great Golem
The Eternal Fire --- The Goddess --- The Eternal Night

Perfect for 2 players
The Merchant --- The Blacksmith's Sceptre
The Wood Nymph --- The Companion
Celestial Ship --- The Silver Hind
The Guardian's Shield --- The Celestial Die
The Omniscient --- Cerberus
Mirror of The Abyss --- Helmet of Invisibility
Sphinx --- The Goddess --- The Right Hand

Again and again
The Tree --- The Blacksmith's Hammer
Wild Spirits --- The Companion
The Guardian's Owl --- The Silver Hind
The Light --- The Celestial Die
The Goldsmith --- Cerberus
The Abyssal Trident --- Helmet of Invisibility
The Eternal Fire --- The First Titan --- Cancer

May the forge be with you
The Merchant --- The Twins
The Wood Nymph --- The Blacksmith's Chest
Celestial Ship --- The Silver Hind
The Guardian's Shield --- Tenacious Boar
The Omniscient --- The Ancestor
Mirror of The Abyss --- Helmet of Invisibility
Sphinx --- Typhon --- Cancer

Versatility
The Merchant --- The Blacksmith's Sceptre
Wild Spirits --- The Blacksmith's Chest
The Guardian's Owl --- The Silver Hind
The Light --- The Satyrs
Triton --- Cerberus
Mirror of The Abyss --- Helmet of Invisibility
Cyclops --- The Goddess --- Sentinel

2020 : Tournament setup 1
The Tree --- The Blacksmith's Sceptre
The Wood Nymph --- The Companion
The Guardian's Owl --- The Silver Hind
The Light --- The Celestial Die
The Omniscient --- The Ancestor

Thanks for the list, very useful.

I've created a suggestion to include this information in some way when setting up a table: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=34408

Hi

not that I don't want to do it but there is nothing in the framework to be able to do that on the game setup...
Only thing I could do will be to add the pictures on DF presentation but that's all...

What do you think?

That's unfortunate. What do you mean by pictures on the presentation?

The framework apparently supports explanatory texts; is it not possible to add a link there to a document on the BGA server and/or at the very least a short description of what the set focusses on? (e.g. May the forge be with you [link to image]: "this set contains a lot of cards that allow you to forge die faces without having to perform a Forge action, like The Merchant and The Ancestor")

Could it be added to the wiki page: https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Gamehelpdiceforge ?

Also does the Random option include Rebelion (cards only) cards if enabled?

Hi

Doing my necromancer
If I put a description to the setup, what would you like to have (in term of text)? the list of cards, something else?
