The [post credits] fight sucks

Zagreus. It’s so boring. You just run in circles and spam homing attacks or take random potshots. There’s no skill to it, except for having the stubbornness to keep going through a long samey fight.

I love all the other boss fights but this one is lame. I guess it’s because they wanted him to behave like he does in Hades 1. But a good player character makes for a bad NPC boss.

Fan mechanic: Forks and Paths

A two-part landscape. When you add a Fork to your game, add two random Paths.

At the start of the game, each player puts their token on one of the two Paths (players pick at the same time. Multiple players can pick the same Path).

During the game, whenever the Fork's trigger happens to a player, they get their chosen Path's effect.

Inspired by u/RiverInhofe's idea of Faiths - https://www.reddit.com/r/dominion/comments/1uj9fuw/new_landscape_cards_faiths_looking_for_feedback/

Arbitrage

Each player starts the game with exactly two Arbitrage tokens in their color. Arbitrage gaining is not optional.

Fan mechanic: Professions

Professions are a new landscape type. In a game with a Profession, you don't get 1 Action and 1 Buy at the start of your turn. Instead, you get what the Profession grants.

You can think of it like an "alternate loadout" or "character class" in a video game.

Profession effects occur at the start of your turn unless otherwise specified. So for example, Socialite makes you reveal your hand once at the start of your turn. But Miller's effect can be triggered any time during your turn.

Second Mate

Inspired by the discussion on my card from yesterday, Terraced Village. You all made some great points

Terraced Village

Another looping card. Not mandatory this time though.

Rules clarification: the first card you play must cost more than Terraced Village. The second one must cost more than the first, and so on. You don’t repeat the “+1 Card” part.

Statesman

A Smuggler variant with no cost limit. Skip your own Buy phase in favor of gaining a Province on the back of someone else’s work.

When your opponent has this out, you probably don’t want to buy a Province unless you can buy at least two. This card also provides +Buy to make that possible.

You can also shut this card down with cursing and junking attacks.

Sheriff

Yes, when there’s an Attack happening, you’ll find the Sheriff pocketing some money and then walking away. What can I say.
