I am delving into coin collecting now, and got this one. I got excited when I heard about Small Date and Large Date. Looking at it, I think it is Large Date. Posting this to be sure about this!
I noticed that a lot of cards were being vetoed from the cube. I've been off for a while so I assume the HC9 is coming to a close and some balancing is done.
I thought it would be funny if all (or at least most of) the vetoed cards are put together into a cube just for a funny semi-unbalanced mess.
I have had this idea brewing in my mind for ages waiting to flourish into something amazing.
Players are all Witches, participating in the most esteemed cooking sport in all of the Witch World; Sandwich Making. All players play at the same time, racing against a timer trying make the best and most Sandwiches before it ends.
Each player builds a deck of ingredients and spells. Ingredients are what go inside sandwiches, each one you make will equal points. Spells are cards that do special effects. Either boosting your sandwiches, protecting yourself, or sabotaging your opponents! One tidbit: The cost is the very sandwiches you make. You must spend sandwiches equal or greeter than the cost of the spell.
The game will be split into rounds. You want to get as much points as possible until the time ends each rounds. Players hold their cards in one hand, and play and draw cards one at a time with the other. you may move whole stacks of sandwiches. There is a shared bread deck people may play straight from to build their sandwiches. There is no hand limit, but cards must be drawn one at a time. At the end of each round, points are totaled and scored. In the event of a tie, the player with the best sandwich based on how well the ingredients compliment each other gets the higher rank. After scoring, players head into the shop phase.
A shop opens up between each round, allowing players to add more cards to their deck. with first getting the most spending money, while last place gets the least. Don't worry, last place gets first pick, while first get's last. Players can save money for the next round if they want to see if there is more exotic merchandise... Remember! First come, first serve!
After however many rounds players agreed on, They will tally up all the points they have won the whole game. Whoever has the most points wins!
I do plan that this game will be modular with alternate formats; Blitz rounds, long form, ingredients only, shared ingredient and/or spell deck, etc.
Any thoughts and opinions? And any games I could look at for ideas?
I was forced to put a bigger collection of decks into storage for health reasons, so im slowly building up.
