Editing Seaside

* 15 [[Embargo]] tokens (1st only)

|release = October 2009 (1st) / Q2 2022 (2nd)

'''Seaside (Second Edition)''' was released in May 2022. [[#Removed_cards|8 first-edition Kingdom card piles]] (and 11 blank cards) were replaced with [[Update_Packs#Dominion:_Seaside_Update_Pack|9 new ones]]. The new cards are also available in an [[Update Packs|update pack]] provided to allow existing Seaside sets to be updated to the second-edition form.

''Tokens are only in first edition''

* ''10 {{Card|Embargo}} [[token]]s''  

* ''25 [[Coin token]]s''

* This expansion introduces [[Duration]] cards. These cards are orange, and say "Duration" on the bottom line, i.e. "[[Action]] – Duration." A Duration card does something after your turn. Leave the card in front of you until the [[Clean-up]] Phase of the last turn in which it does something (discard it before drawing for the following turn). So if the card says "Now and on your next turn," discard it during the Clean-up phase of your next turn.

* If you play or modify a Duration card with another card, that other card also stays in your play area until it is no longer doing anything. For example if you play {{Card|Throne Room}} on {{Card|Merchant Ship}}, both cards stay in play until the Clean-up phase of your next turn. The Throne Room stays in play to remind you that you are getting the effect of Merchant Ship twice on that next turn.

* If multiple cards resolve at the same time on your turn (for example, Duration cards that do something “at the start of your next turn”), you choose what order to resolve them. A card that affects multiple players during your turn still resolves in player order, affecting you first if it affects all players and then proceeding clockwise.

* In order to keep track of which Duration cards are discarded during the current Clean-up phase and which Duration cards remain in play, place Duration cards in a separate row above the other Actions and [[Treasure|Treasures]] played. When a Duration card has its last effect, move it to the row of cards that will be played and discarded during the current turn.

* Players may look at face-up set-aside cards of any player. Players may count face-down set-aside cards (both their own and those of other players).

* Some cards give a player a choice between two or more options ({{Card|Pirate Ship}}, {{Card|Native Village}}). You may pick any choice offered, even if you cannot do what it tells you to, but once you make a choice, you must complete as much of it as you can. Specific examples of this rule are given in the descriptions for cards on the info sheet.

* Some cards are both [[Victory]] cards and another type as well (e.g. {{Card|Island}}). These cards are both types for all purposes. Island can be played like a normal Action and at the end of the game, it contributes to your score. When a card refers to a type of card, it means any card having that type; so, for example, {{Card|Library}} can be used to set aside an Island.

  |Text=All you ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by. And someone who knows how to steer ships using stars. You finally got some of those rivers you'd wanted, and they led to the sea. These are dangerous, pirate-infested waters, and you cautiously send rat-infested ships across them, to establish lucrative trade at far-off merchant-infested ports. First, you will take over some islands, as a foothold. The natives seem friendly enough, crying their peace cries, and giving you spears and poison darts before you are even close enough to accept them properly. When you finally reach those ports you will conquer them, and from there you will look for more rivers. One day, all the rivers will be yours.

  |Text=This is the 2nd addition to the game of Dominion. It adds 26 new [[Kingdom]] cards to Dominion. The central theme is your next turn; there are cards that do something this turn and next, cards that set up your next turn, and other ways to step outside of the bounds of a normal turn.

- There was a "discard x cards, +$x" card that was in this set for a bit. I had a +1 buy version, then a now-and-later version. I ended up doing that on {{Card|Secret Chamber}} in Intrigue, and dropped the versions that were here.

- The victory card that {{Card|Island}} replaced was an Action-Victory with "Trash a card from the supply costing $6 or less / Worth 1 vp per 3 vp cards in the trash." I always thought it seemed cool and interesting, but in practice it wasn't much fun. If you went for it, other people would get in on it. It would do nothing some games, then dominate others, but never in a fun way. No-one was sad to see it go. There could still be a card someday that trashes supply cards, but in practice it's mostly a waste of time, with players sitting there trying to work out which card to trash in cases where it really doesn't matter (and so it's hard to decide).

- The one-shot that {{Card|Lookout}} replaced was "trash this and your hand, gain a card costing up to $3." It had started stronger but I had to weaken it. That version just looked horrible but was still strong. It was great to finally get rid of it. There could still be a one-shot {{Card|Chapel}} someday, but "trash your hand" is not the way to go. It limits the card to the early game, usually just one copy, and then either you draw it with your other early purchase, ugh, or you don't, yeeha.

=== Retrospective on 1E ===

|Text=The biggest thing here is, the set has two cards that hand out junk that cost less than {{Cost|5}}. Cards like that tend to dominate games, since people buy them turns 1-2 and start playing them fast, so it's bad to have two of them in one set, even though when they're in the same game the one defends against the other. I just don't want heavy-Seaside games to always have one of those cards. So either {{Card|Ambassador}} or {{Card|Sea Hag}} should be a more powerful card for {{Cost|5}}. Ambassador looks more innocent so probably I would change Sea Hag.

Originally the set did not have tokens. {{Card|Embargo}} put itself on a pile; {{Card|Pirate Ship}} kept one treasure per attack and counted them; Pirate Ship and {{Card|Native Village}} did have mats, but they were card-sized (when that changed I got to add {{Card|Haven}} back in). If I had known the set would have counters, I would have tried to get more use out of them, just as I made two more {{VP}} token cards to go with {{Card|Monument}}.

Again some people complain about various other cards but I am having none of it.

Anyway I looked at Seaside. The biggest positive things would be to get rid of Embargo tokens and use the coin tokens on say 3 cards. Seaside was made without tokens so I was not trying to make sure they were put to good use (when Prosperity was delayed due to Alchemy, I had time to add two more VP token cards to it). As I said, it was going to be a while before Jay was actually interested in not needing Embargo tokens. Then, two of the biggest duds to replace, I couldn't. In the end it got a tweaked rulebook and fixed wordings/layout (including Pirate Ship being clear about Guilds), but no new cards. And nothing else has new cards on the way either.
