Intrigue Theme
Game designer Donald X. offered some insight into some themes of the set here, with how the Kingdom cards fit into that theme:
- 10 Choices: Pawn, Masquerade, Steward, Swindler, Wishing Well, Baron, Mining Village, Minion, Torturer, Nobles
- 7 Also choices, but less unique: Courtyard, Secret Chamber, Ironworks, Scout, Saboteur, Trading Post, Upgrade
- 4 Victory cards: Great Hall, Duke, Harem, Nobles
- 5 Cards interacting with Victory cards: Baron, Ironworks, Scout, Duke, Tribute
- 4 Off-theme: Shanty Town, Bridge, Conspirator, Coppersmith
Trivia
Secret History
From the start, Intrigue was groomed to be the first expansion. To me that meant making it the most true to the main set. If the first expansion was especially exotic, then when only the main set and that expansion were out, half the game would consist of this exotic stuff. If the second expansion is the first exotic one, then it's down to a third of your cards (if you have the first expansion too) (of course it's even less if not all of the second expansion is exotic). That seems more reasonable. The mechanics in the first expansion are things that to me are just a basic part of the game; later expansions may not have as many victory cards that do things or cards that say "choose one," but they'll have those things when they're wanted. The main set didn't have those things in part to keep it simple for new players and in part because you can only fit so much in 25 cards.
