Version 1.2 patch notes


New version is out, you can download it the standard ways. This one has a few card changes, but only Money Laundering and Elderly driver have actual effect changes (and Elderly Driver's is very minor). This patch is, more or less, changes to the base characters prior to the expansion characters dropping. There's also some changes to the simulator files that fix some issues with them. Full patch notes below:

Patch notes for Theoretical Deck Building Game version 1.2 (Laundering Update)

Card changes:

Money Laundering has been reworked. Now rather than passively gaining Ass counters you need to pay energy to place them, and in order to get money out of it you have to discard it from your flesh.

Comments on change: "Money Laundering was extremely strong before, and it made any deck that got it off early very consistent. With this change it's still fairly strong, but now the Susan player needs to often make resource management choices. I considered a lot of ways to nerf the card and settled on this one because I thought it made the card overall a lot more interesting to use." - Crimefighter

Elderly Driver is now once per turn.

Comments on change: "Elderly Drivers aren't that easily looped, but when they are it's very strong. When working on future card designs, the danger of enabling elderly driver loops keept popping up. Making it once per turn now opens the door for more powerful and interesting effects down the line, without effecting current Jerry Strats all that much." - Crimefighter

Cards that have "Flesh" effects have had a visual change, putting an "F" on the left side of the card frame. The effected cards are Money Laundering, Insurance Fraud, Confidence man, Loan shark, and instrument of trade and industry.

Comments on change: "This helped declutter the effect text itself and I think it looks better. Going forward effects that activate from zones other than action zones will follow this formatting." - Crimefighter

Confidence man's action typing is now "BC" rather than "ABC"

Comments on change: "Confidence man had "ABC" action typing (in the upper lefthand), but no effects that were playable in A. The action typing was in-fact an error, and it has been corrected." - Crimefighter

Rules doc changes:

FAQ section has been split off from the main rules.

Comments on change: "I think it's easier to look stuff up this way, and as more cards get added and the FAQ section necessarily expands, I think it would only get more annoying to have to scroll past the initial rules doc to get to them." - Crimefighter

Rules doc section on action anatomy has been rewritten.

Comments on change: "This was to explain how flesh effects are handled now." - Crimefighter

FAQ section on Money Laundering has been rewritten to reflect the card's new effects.

FAQ section on Elderly Driver now contains a clarification about once per turn effects.

Misc changes:

Pre-errata'd cards section re-organized.

Comments on change: "With more than one errata I wanted to establish an organization structure now." - Crimefighter

Simulator file split into 2 images.

Comments on change: "The old simulator file was actually too big for table top simulator to handle. It's been split in two now. The instructions have also been re-written to be a bit more clear." - Crimefighter
