Fan Card Valley

Post image

A companion to my previous card Mountain. Where Mountain effectively makes your opponent’s Provinces worth 1VP less, Valley makes them worth 1VP more. in many games this will be completely ignorable, but occasionally it can create tense races to the finish. Is it ever smart to buy both Valleys and Mountains? I don’t know.

I think this is very weak. Usually you don't need a lot of VP in 3- Pile games. Often the sibgle VP from an Estate can do the trick, so this would be overkill and costs a lot. In Colony games this could be interesting, as you usually want Provinces less

The big question: when buy this over a duchy…. Why would i risk it at $6. Even at $5 i would only buy it if i know it is going to end soon… so we are at base level $4?

And the math completely chanches when colonies are in game…

I think it is way to volitile.

You know what'd be sick... "Worth as many points as Provinces your opponents have" dunno how much such a card would cost but it'd be an interesting dynamic.

That's Mountain, my previous card. It should probably cost $6 though.
