[Nancy Drew 39]

Spoiler:

which apparently are a girl’s best friend.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take sapphire, onyx, gold

[Nancy Drew 39]

Spoiler:

Can I plead the 5th?

Take one diamond one saphire, one onyx.

Spoiler:

[Nancy Drew 39]

Play 1-1 from the board

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take 2 sapphires, 1 ruby

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take one saphhire, ruby, onyx

[Nancy Drew 39]

@mod, can you please update the current list of cards available? Thanks.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take two diamonds.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take diamond, emerald, sapphire.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take card 1-3

[Nancy Drew 39]

Are you playing I-3 or drawing I-3?

Card I-3

3 DIAMOND
1 SAPPHIRE
1 ONYX


I want to acquire this card 1-3, by playing 3 diamonds, 1 sapphire, 1 onyx.

[Nancy Drew 39]

If you're paying, that answers the question: playing the card. Got it.

Nancy Drew pays: 3 Diamonds, 1 Sapphire, 1 Onyx and plays I-3 directly from the board. She gains 0 VP and a permanent 1 Diamond discount.

I-3 is replaced by a new card ...

I-3

2 EMERALD 1 RUBY

0

ONYX

It is now

Sirius9121

's turn.

Updating market and player panels; will post the updated market shortly.

So the correct answer then is “playing card 1-3”? Okay, got it. I was really confused.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take diamond, emerald, sapphire

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take sapphire, onyx, diamond

[Nancy Drew 39]

Play card 1-4 from the board

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take sapphire, emerald, ruby

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take diamond. emerald, sapphire

[Nancy Drew 39]

That's a legal play, but it'll put you at 12 tokens total; you'll have to discard down to 10 before you end your turn.

How does it work with cards? I need to do that as well, right, especially if I want to get more of them. So, I’m trying to figure that out before I make up my mind.

[Nancy Drew 39]

There's no limit to cards in play. You can have as many as you want.

Drawing cards into your hand, there's a limit of 3 - if you have three cards in hand, you can't draw any cards at all (but can still play them).

Yes I understand that but I don’t understand exactly how I get rid of them.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Get rid of cards? You don't - once you take a card (whether by drawing or playing it), it's yours forever.

If you draw a card, the only way to get it out of your hand is to play it. Once played, it stays played; there's no way to get rid of it - and no reason to get rid of it either.

I’m still confused, can I play one of the 3 cards in my hand? How do I do that and what happens as a result of that? I obviously want to acquire better and higher tier level cards than the ones I currently have.

[Nancy Drew 39]

You don't have any cards in your hand right now. You have three cards in play.

So, can I spend my tokens on more cards then? If possible, I would obviously prefer it to a discard.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Play card 1-1 from board.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take sapphire, emerald, ruby

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take sapphire. onyx.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Play card 1-4 then.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Would anyone object if I added a token counter and cards-in-hand counter to the player panels? Something like this:

Farren

Current score: 0
Tokens in stock: 5/10
Cards in hand: 0/3

Spoiler: Current holdings

Detailed stuff here like normal

Might make it easier for players to keep track of things?

That's a good idea.

+1

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take 2 onyx.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Play card 1-3 from the board.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Play card 1-1 from the board.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take diamond, emerald, onyx

[Nancy Drew 39]

I guess I can only take one onyx if I don’t want to discard, correct?

[Nancy Drew 39]

If you choose to take gems, you'd have to either take one Onyx (and not discard) or take two Onyxes (and discard one token).

How does drawing a card work again if I want gold to sub for an “out” gem? Can you play it on the same turn you draw it or the next one?

[Nancy Drew 39]

If you draw a card:

You get 1 Gold from the market, as long as the market has Gold in stock (which it does).
You get to pick any card from the board; it goes into your hand, reserved for you to play. Alternately, you can pick a Tier and I'll give you a card from that Tier deck (via PM).
You can't play it this turn, even if getting the Gold makes it affordable. You'll have to wait until your next turn to play it (or later, if you can't afford it or want to wait).

How many cards can you keep in your hand and still acquire gold?

[Nancy Drew 39]

You can also play a card from the board.

@mod, can I? I thought I didn’t have the right number of tokens?

and if I can, WHICH cards are eligible?

[Nancy Drew 39]

Play card 1-2 from the board.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Why do I always have to wait so long for my turn? :/

[Nancy Drew 39]

play i-4

i live in australia and have a full time job. i'm not going to pretend to be sorry for that.

What does that have anything whatsoever to do with my usually having to wait longer than everyone else for my turn?

[Nancy Drew 39]

This game is fast moving and I plan to be away for a week, probably sometime this month and I probably won’t have internet access during that time.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Spoiler:

Why do I always have to wait so long for my turn? :/

Players have 48 hours to take their turn. So far, no player has gone beyond that limit, and the overwhelming majority of turns have been started within 24 hours or less of the time I announce it.

A big thank you to all the players for keeping the game moving.

Resolving the turn now.

This game is fast moving and I plan to be away for a week, probably sometime this month and I probably won’t have internet access during that time.

Sorry, did not express that too well. I’m anxious because I might not be able to play for approximately a week unless I find someone to temporarily take over my slot and I’m really enjoying this.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take sapphire, emerald, onyx

[Nancy Drew 39]

Can I play any cards from the board or not?

[Nancy Drew 39]

I-1
I-3
I-4
II-1
II-2
II-3

Thanks.

Play II-2 from the board.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Could you please list the cards each player is eligible to play at each turn? That would really help, thanks.

[Nancy Drew 39]

that's a tonne of extra manual work for the mod when there's probably only a couple of rounds left imo

But it will also make the game move faster.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I-1
I-2
I-4
Ii-3

I think that's all. running around atm tho so can't double check.

Thanks, play card 1-4 from board.

[Nancy Drew 39]

eh if he needs to set more time aside to action every round, it may accidentally slow the game down :<

If we have to wait for all the players and the mod to be online to answer questions, it will slow the game down even more. because if I play a card I can’t, same thing, so what’s your solution to that?

[Nancy Drew 39]

I like the table at the end which includes buying power. As you said, it wouldn’t take much extra work and vastly cut down on many potentially illegal moves that you then would need to have to correct, which would definitely slow down the game and that is actually what I was actually asking for but didn’t obviously express that clearly. This makes it clear exactly what options each player has each turn, which is essentially what I wanted.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I approve, would especially like to see that done for me.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Play card II - 3 from the board plus draw a tier III - 4 for one gold.

How do I acquire nobles the same way I play cards from the board?

[Nancy Drew 39]

Oh I thought that Snakes got to do both.

Play card II-3 from the board then.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Shouldn’t you edit the title though? I mean I love the name recognition and all but . . . .

[Nancy Drew 39]

Play 1-2 from the board.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Play 1-3 then.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Spoiler:

Debating whether to open up signups for Game 2 or to run another game. This game ran pretty well, I thought - pace of play was excellent, only real goof was the one at the very end with PEdit not kicking in to catch Sirius's move change before resolution.

I'd be up for running this again, but I'm limiting myself to modding two games max, so running this again means *not* running something else.

If I run something else, I'd probably run Blue Moon City next. I've got that one 99% ready to roll.
If I run this again, I'm going to make some interface tweaks - the ones we talked about earlier, plus changing the tiers from I/II/III to C/B/A and keeping each card's ID number instead of changing it to 1/2/3/4 for the shop and stripping it away when it leaves the shop.

Thoughts in general? (Anyone is welcome to chime in here, including people who weren't playing Splendor.)

Please auto sign me up for the next one, I thoroughly enjoyed this and please put me on your PM sign up list for any future Mish Mash games you run.

[Nancy Drew 39]

That was fun! Thanks for the game, Farren.

Congrats!


I actually thought the game would end when there were no more tokens to take or cards t play/draw. I think had I actually understood what I was doing right from the beginning - including buying power, I’d have done better. I’m still confused about the nobels still.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Noble	Cost	VP
N-1	4 DIAMOND 4 SAPPHIRE	3

To try to explain the Nobles a little better, let's use this one as an example.

If, at the end of your turn, you have four cards in play with a DIAMOND discount AND four cards in play with a

SAPPHIRE

discount, then you've reduced the cost for this Noble to zero - and you would automatically claim the Noble at the end of your turn, gaining 3 VP. This is effectively a free action.

Unlike cards (where you can use any combination of tokens and/or discounts to pay the cost for playing it), only discounts are effective for Nobles. So if you had the four DIAMOND cards in play, but only two SAPPHIRE cards, you would not be able to claim the Noble - even if you had a pair of Sapphire tokens to make up the difference.

Okay then my obvious issue would be the “claim” part. Was there any point in the game where I was entitled to claim but didn’t and i was disadvantaged by not understanding this?

[Nancy Drew 39]

Please auto sign me up for the next one, I thoroughly enjoyed this and please put me on your PM sign up list for any future Mish Mash games you run.

I'll be happy to send you a PM if I start up any new Mish Mash games, or if I open this up for signups for Game 2. Can't auto-sign you up for Game 2, as I'm not sure if I'm running it yet - that'll depend on if there's more interest in this or Blue Moon City, since I don't think I can handle running both of those at once.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Congrats Snakes! Well played everyone.

This was really well modded, Farren. Thank you very much for the game.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Oh yeah sorry; given it was mod ran I was working on the assumption the noble would be taken automatically. It would probably have been polite of me to mention that I qualified for it as well.

I had no clue what even the purpose or point of them was and how having them benefits us?

Can you please update the cards in play? Thanks.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take 2 sapphires

[Nancy Drew 39]

How does it work if I draw one of the tier cards for gold? In order to get rid of it, I have to be able to pay the cost of it similar from playing from the board, correct?

[Nancy Drew 39]

Draw B - 24 from market and take gold.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Emerald, Onyx, Gold

You can’t do that. You either just take emerald and onyx or you take gold and draw a card. You can’t do both because gold isn’t a gem. Otherwise, I would have done this too.

[Nancy Drew 39]

If you're taking gold, you can't take any other token.

[Nancy Drew 39]

[Nancy Drew 39]

Take emerald and ruby.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Note: normally, if you're taking different gems, taking three is required (unless impossible - if there are only two gem types left). In this case, Nancy has 8 Tokens and as such will have to discard a Token if she takes three gems. Taking three and then discarding one of the three you just took is legal - and from a game impact perspective, has no different impact on the gamestate than just taking two. So I'm going to interpret this as "Diamond / Emerald / Ruby, discard Diamond" to stay within the letter of the rules, while resulting in the outcome expressed by the player.

Nancy Drew 39 takes three different gems: Diamond, Emerald, Ruby. She then discards a Diamond, bringing her back down to the maximum of ten tokens.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I made a mistake. I meant to just buy b - 17 and play it. Is it to late to change it?

Afraid so. Once I announce resolution, your move is locked in.

But she hasn’t taken her turn yet. Didn’t you say it’s okay as long as that didn’t happen yet? I was half asleep at the time. I’m pretty sure you said as long as the next player hasn’t taken their turn yet it’s fine?

[Nancy Drew 39]

But she hasn’t taken her turn yet. Didn’t you say it’s okay as long as that didn’t happen yet? I was half asleep at the time. I’m pretty sure you said as long as the next player hasn’t taken their turn yet it’s fine?

Here's the rule in question:

If a player wishes to change a decision:
- If a player wishes to change their mind about their turn, they may do so as long as I have not declared their turn over AND the next player has not taken their turn.

Both parts need to be true in order to change your move after you post it - I can't have declared your turn over yet (by announcing the next player's turn) AND the next player can't have taken their turn yet (by announcing their move). If either has happened, it's too late.

I don’t think it should affect the outcome but I probably would be upset if it did.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Buy B-18

You've got this Nancy!

I didn’t realize I could play it directly but then my turn had been resolved pretty much immediately after.

*sigh*

i could have won with any diamond discount card

And I could have already won one turn ago had I not been half asleep, properly counted and Farren had waited an hour because Tris hadn’t posted yet, so you would have only won due to my fucking up but of course a win is still a win.

4th

: Akarin, 10 VP

Game over.

Game 5 has officially ended.

Post-game discussion for Game 5 is now open; anyone can comment, including people not in Game 5.
The restriction on those in Game 5 of not being able to pre-in for future games is now released.
Players signed up for Game 6 are still restricted from pre-inning to future games, and will be until Game 6 is over.

I'll be sending out PMs to everyone that's pre-inned to Game 6 verifying that they still want to play. If anyone doesn't want to play, I'll offer first replacement chance to vincentw and dsjstr, then open it up to everyone if neither of them are interested.
I'll also be sending out PMs to Nancy and Sirius letting them know that they'll need to pre-in again if they want a Game 7 slot, as the game technically wasn't over when they posted.

@Noraa, aren’t you going to congratulate me?

[Nancy Drew 39]

/pre-in

[Nancy Drew 39]

Noraa receives a discount of 4 Sapphires due to cards in play.

She pays 2 Sapphires to play B-24 from her hand. She gains

3 VP

and a permanent 1 Sapphire discount.

Noraa has reached 15 VP

, triggering endgame.

TOKEN MARKET

DIAMONDS	SAPPHIRES	EMERALDS	RUBIES	ONYXES	GOLD
6	5 (LOW)	5	3 (LOW)	5	4

As Noraa was last in the turn order, the game ends immediately. Which means ...

Congratulations to Noraa for winning Game 6 of Splendor!

Final scores:

1st: Noraa, 15 VP
2nd: Snakes, 14 VP
3rd: lilith2013, 12 VP
4th: Charles510, 5 VP

Game over.

Anyone who was in Game 6 is now free to enter the queue again if they wish! I'll be sending out PMs to everyone in Game 7 shortly.

Woo yeah, congrats to my #1 favourite polar bear - snow leopard!!!

[Nancy Drew 39]

Congratulations Noraa!!!

[Nancy Drew 39]

Noraa - did you want to jump the queue and take over the Game 7 slot, or stay in Game 8?

I wanna play with pookybear!

Fair enough. I do have to ask Pooky, though.

PookyTheMagicalBear

: move to Game 7 or stay in Game 8?

But game 7 only has one slot and pooky and I are a package!

+1

Pooky! Pooky! Pooky! Pooky! Pooky!

[Nancy Drew 39]

Fair enough. I do have to ask Pooky, though.

PookyTheMagicalBear

: move to Game 7 or stay in Game 8?

He will agree, he can’t say no to both Noraa and me.
Pooky understands that resistance will be futile.

[Nancy Drew 39]

/pre-in

Was this meant to be a /confirm? You're already in Game 7.

/confirm, yeah sorry.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I mean I will play against Noraa in 8 :3

I’d be willing to play in 8 as well, if it means that all 3 of us can play together and perhaps Lillith can then switch to 7?

[Nancy Drew 39]

After checking with lilith via PM, here's my proposal:

Game 7:
1) vincentw
2) Charles510 (taking dsjstr's slot - since he said he was willing to switch, I'm assuming that means he's okay playing in Game 7?)
3) Sirius9121 (pending confirmation)
4) lilith2013 (trading with Nancy Drew 39)

Game 8:
1) Nancy Drew 39 (trading with lilith2013)
2) Noraa
3) PookyTheMagicalBear
4) (open; no one in Game 7 eligible until their game ends)

Game 9:
1) Snakes (who specifically requested Game 9)
2-4) (all open, no one in Games 7-8 eligible until their game ends)

I would be down for this if Noraa, Pooky, Lillith agree.

[Nancy Drew 39]

why not move snaku up and then we have a full game 7 and 8?
That way game 8 is animal battledown!!!!!
We'll not all be bears as to not exclude him.
Nancy will be koala
Pooky will be bear
I will be snow leopard
and Snaku will be snaku

Splendor - Nat Geo Wildlife version.

[Nancy Drew 39]

PMs have been sent out to everyone signed up for Game 8. They have until this timer expires to confirm in-thread.
(expired on 2021-04-25 23:00:00)

Nancy Drew 39's ban expires in less than 30 minutes (assuming 1 week = 7 days 0 hours 0 minutes from the time it was posted), so her seat will be saved for her.

/confirm in game 8

\o/

I didn’t realize my ban had ended.

[Nancy Drew 39]

happy bday Charles and congrats Vincent
/confirm

I almost called you Pink Ball by mistake.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Happy birthday, Charles!

We've got four for Game 8, which fills the game.
Game 9 has only one slot left.

I'm still going to wait for the timer before we get Game 8 rolling - want to make sure there's that discussion/feedback window for those who want it, plus it's nice to have a break between games. Once it's done, we'll get started!

Can we pre-in for game 10 or no?

[Nancy Drew 39]

NM, I see you corrected it. Happy belated bday. My eye is slightly better today.

[Nancy Drew 39]

DSR

[Nancy Drew 39]

I honestly don’t know what happened. I’m sure I made a post requesting double rubies but apparently not?

Perhaps because of my eye, I must have neglected to press “submit”?


Anyway again,

take 2 rubies

[Nancy Drew 39]

I also tried to reqet my v/la and that’s apparently also not working.

[Nancy Drew 39]

reserve C - 8 + 1 gold not that it even matters.

[Nancy Drew 39]

play C -29

And Congrats Pooky!
