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.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I will make the multiplay events bicolour (half and half with the letter of the colour, so for the harrappans the left hand side would be red with an S and the right hand side green with a P).
As to card 7 Andrew good pick up. I think the problem is it still has the green screen behind it which i removed from all others, will ditch it before I change them all.
If you have any other thoughts please go ahead.

If a card can be played in more than one action, I think it should have more than one code.

These are mostly excellent – a dramatic improvement on the earlier versions. The only (very minor) criticism that I would make is that black text on grey background is slightly difficult for me to read, because the contrast is not as defined as I would like. That is why card 7 is the “worst” card for me – though I can still read it acceptably well. So I am very happy!
