Card Design

 So let's take a look at some of the prototype cards. The name of each card is in the upper left, its worth in the upper right. The number to the left of each symbol represents its total worth when played, and at the end of the game. The cost of each card is indicated along the side, same deal as the worth.

Note the + sign on Tradition there, and the coloration. Cards worth mixed values are all green, whereas cards worth only one type of resource match its color (Nourish produces Mana, the blue Influence).

All rules text is written above the card's level. Cards without rules text will someday feature some art. Remember that Level 2 cards are worth an additional point at the end of the game, and Level 3 cards are worth an additional 3 points. Not all Tier 3 cards are as expensive as Adulation there, but I wanted to post it because it's something of a show stopper in play. Card levels are based on their costs. Costs of 2-3 total are generally tier 1, 4-6 total costs are generally tier 2 and costs of 7-9 total influences are strictly tier 3.
