=== What if there's no gaining? ===
 
{{Quote|Text= <p>
 
It's a concern when the card is absolutely nothing without the interaction, e.g. {{Landmark|Tomb}}. For landscapes it seems sufficiently tolerable that I went ahead and made Tomb anyway. For kingdom cards, well they do something at least; {{Card|Moat}} is relevant sometimes with no attacks. And of course cards that do everything they do are sometimes going to go untouched just because the board has something better to do.</p>
 
  
For Footpad itself it's not much of a concern; it's always got the top, and that's what you buy it for anyway.

=== Memory issues ===
 
When asked whether he had considered making Footpad's rule-change effect more prominent on the card so that players would remember to follow it, Donald X. wrote
 
{{Quote|Text= <p>
 
No-one in playtesting ever said "hey we should add a word to these cards." I mean it's that simple; lots of things never come up, that's one of them. Possibly the cards should have been a unique color, to draw your attention at the start of the game; it didn't come up, and they sure aren't.</p>
 
  
<p>The precedents are {{Card|Baker}} and {{Card|Young Witch}}! Two cards in the same box as Footpad. In the old days on isotropic, it was easy to miss Baker; one player would say "Baker Alarm!" And later Doug added that as an automatic thing. I can imagine online wanting a little box at the start of the game that reminds you of Baker / Footpad. And I mean maybe that will happen; not due to me going over there now and seeing "hey" but I sure don't need to rule it out.</p>
 
 
From my perspective, everything modifies the rules. {{Card|Woodcutter}} modifies the rules. It's easier to remember because you have to buy it to start getting the effect. But I broke this with a whole mechanic eventually, Landmarks, and no-one ever says, "we can't remember {{Landmark|Tomb}}." So it seemed fair game. I think with Footpad the issue is that the bottom isn't sufficiently related to the top (it's related, but it's very mild). This in turn was due to, the bottom rule was different (an unforgettable "you have 6 cards hands this game"), and that didn't work out (it's not at its best on a {{Card|Militia}}, would you believe).
