Cactus Game Design Message Boards

Hi there,

just wondering whether it would be something to think about rewarding playing old cards without any abilities by creating appropriate Arts/Sites/Covenants/Curses/TC Characters which allow for reserve access (searching and picking a card from own reserve) whenever you play a card/character/enhancement without ability from hand?

But I fear due to all those loaded and ability crowded cards available today those catalyzers plus old cards won't see much play.

What do you think?

It's called reprinting 

Are you talking about cards like windows of narrow light and Coliseum?

We try to breathe new life into old cards each year as we design the new stuff. By nature we make more old cards obsolete though.

Selling new packs keeps Redemption going. Cactus doesn’t rely on Redemption anymore (if they ever did). The success of the recent sets has caused growth that is going to lead to some exciting things before the years end.

Also, from a economics & collecting standpoint, I like when older cards are still relevant for gameplay. It gives value (beyond sentimental) to older sets, which makes collecting and trading more fun, as well as is better for the overall economy of Redemption cards.

One such example is how King Zedekiah in the Kings set boosted a Prophets set card, Dungeon of Malchiah. Another is Rahab (CoW) boosting Scarlet Line (Wo).

I definitely like reprints too - it's not one or the other - and I'm super excited to learn about what's coming up this year in Redemption!!
