wanted to
develop my own ideas without reading those of other people. So, I =
apologize
if there are any similarities to cards already discussed. I am very
interested in people's reactions to my cards.
There are a few new types of cards here, although nothing as different =
as
virus tokens. Still, I can see some opportunities for cards that would =
play
off of the new concepts (Environments, Sacred Lands, Lodges, Homes, =
etc.) I
introduced.
Also, some of these cards are powerful enough that I would want to =
include
other cards that help balance these cards. Instead of doing this =
myself, I
hope others will try and come up with cards that would cancel or =
mitigate
the effects of these cards. All constructive input appreciated.
