Proposed sample of 7 Ages Collector's Edition Cards Posted on 24 Dec 01:39 , 3 comments

Thank you for your great support in the upcoming release of 7 Ages the Collector's Edition. Thanks also for your feedback on the graphics for the 7 Ages cards. Based on your thoughts here is a sample of the proposed cards to print

The letters next to the event title and the colour background behind it show which action the card can be played in

B - Beginning of turn (red)

S - Start Empire (orange)

P - Production (green)

T - Trade & progress (deep purple)

M - Manoeuvre (brown)

D - Destiny (turqoise)

C - Civilise (blue)

E - Discard Empire (grey)

F - Free Progress (gold)

H - Harvest Glory (light purple)

A - Anytime (black)

Note that in some cases like the Harrappans above, the code is for the most likely action that it can be used, but we can make these bicolour with two codes in these cases if players prefer.

The number in the bottom right corner is the card number. 

Please feel free to give your thoughts in the comments so we can finalise everything before we go to print.
