简翻:bgg上面关于Alien Artifacts的信息
I was lucky enough to be at the demo of Alien Artifacts hosted by Tom Lehmann at Essen Spiel today. Four players tried out the new cards while a small group watched from the sidelines and asked questions. The cards were just printed onto standard playing cards, so it hasn't been printed yet but we saw what the final cards will look like on Tom's iPad! The Alien Orb wasn't used in the game - it was just the base game plus the new cards, so some of the new abilities relating to the Orb weren't relevant.
废话不翻了
I was most interested in seeing the new start worlds. I hope I can remember them correctly. They are:
Rebel Mutineers - 2 cost military Novelty windfall, 0VPs, Explore: see+1, +1 military.
Frontier Capital - 2 cost military, 1VP, draw a card after developing, +1 military
Artifact Hunters - 3 cost, 1VP, Explore: see+1, keep+1, consume yellow into 2VPs
Uplift Researchers - 2 cost, 1VP, Explore: see+1, -1 to settle, settle an Uplift military as non-military
Sentient Robots - 2 cost military, 1VP, -1 to settle, +1 military, draw a card in production phase
起始星球
叛军哗变者2费军力0分蓝意外,+1看牌,+1军力
前线首都2费军力1分,开发后摸1,+1军力
工艺品猎手3费1分,+1看牌+1留牌,外星货换2分
进化研究者2费1分,+1看牌,殖民-1费,可以将进化军事当非军事打
感知机器人2费军力1分,殖民-1费+1军力,生产时抽1
话说这几个都感觉好强啊
Other fun cards include:
Imperial Supply Colony which lets you use leftover military to settle again.
Tranship Point lets you move all your brown goods onto it and save them for later.
Wormhole Prospectors is a crazy 6-cost Development which lets you flip the top card of the deck in the Settle phase and settle it for free if it's non-military.
Galactic Investors is a 5-cost Devlopment (3VPs) which lets you draw 2 cards for developing and Produces a card for having 5+ developments.
Interstellar Trade Port is a 5-cost Blue World (3VPs) which lets you consume up to four different coloured goods for 1VP and 1 card each.
帝国补给站允许你用征服后剩余的军力再征服一次
中转点允许你将棕色货物存在本牌上并在以后消耗掉
虫洞是一个疯狂的6费科技,允许你在扩张时翻开牌库顶部的牌,如果是和平星球,免费打出
星际投资者是一个5费科技,打出科技时摸两张牌,生产时有5费抓一张牌
星际贸易站是一个5费星球,允许你将最多四个不同颜色的货物换成1牌1分
Alien Orb sounded really fun but we didn't see those cards, just heard about how it works. There's a separate deck of cards for the Alien Orb. Players draw cards from this deck and use those to build the Orb as they explore it. It sounds like a collective tableau in the centre of the table - you decide what's in there by playing cards into it. Everyone has an extra role card that they can use to explore the Orb - choosing it lets you move your explorer first, others move in turn order (clockwise from lowest numbered start world). You have one explorer/space man to start with but can gain a second via a certain card(s?). Other cards give bonuses to how far you can move through the Alien Orb. As we didn't see the Alien Orb cards themselves, I don't know what sort of things you'll find in there.
外星人之球听起来很有趣,但我们没有看到牌,只是听了这个规则如何运作。外星人之球有一个单独的牌库,玩家从里面抽牌然后在探索这个牌库后用这些牌去去建造球。听起来是一个放在桌面中心的共用版图,你通过出牌决定这个版图里面有什么。每名玩家还得到了一个额外的角色卡,可以用于探索外星人之球。在探索的同时,你可以移动你的冒险家标记,选这个行动的人先动,然后按照星球编号来。你一开始有一个探险家,后面会通过卡牌获得更多。另外一些牌会按照你在外星人之球上前进的程度提供奖励。由于我们没有看到卡牌,我不知道会在里面遇到什么。
As for release dates, Tom obviously couldn't confirm anything but it's hoped that it should be out early next year, perhaps for the Nurnberg show.
关于出版日期,设计师也无法确定,希望是在明年初,可能是在纽伦堡展。
Tom spoke a little about Roll. It's been ready for a couple of years but won't be out until after Alien Artifacts, possibly due to the difficulty of producing a reasonably-priced game with so many custom dice. He was keen to stress this was not just Yahtzee in space and felt very different to most other dice games. I do know it involves a stack of tiles to explore through. They have worlds to settle on one side and developments on the other, their combined values totalling 7 so that an expensive world will be paired with a cheap development and vice versa. It wasn't the main topic of conversation so I don't know much more.
设计师稍微讲了点银河竞骰的事情。它已经在几年前做好了,但不会在外星制品发布前发布,也许是因为无法将带着一堆骰子的技能的价格压下去吧。(Q某有话说)他强烈保证这绝对不是Yahtzee的太空版,而且会和现在的绝大多数骰子游戏很不一样。我知道它涉及一叠需要探索的版块。版块的一面是星球,另外一面是科技,两面的和总是7,因此总是一面贵一面便宜。这不是主要话题因此我只知道这么点。
其他人的补充
Tom pointed out that Imperial Supply Colony was one of the new cards that meant Alien Artifacts might not play well with the existing expansions. He felt that combining ISC with Improved Logistics would be very strong but that it was useful to have the effect in the mix in some form.
设计师指出外星制品中的帝国补给站等一些牌和旧拓不太适合放在一起玩,他觉得把补给站(征服之后盈余的军力可以再征服一个军事星球)和强化后勤放在一起会过强,但用其他形式组合效果的话会好一些。
Just a few more details from what I remember Tom discussing on Saturday:
The Alien Orb cards will have places for tokens representing "artifacts" (?), so it seems the point of exploring the Orb is to pick up those tokens to gain their bonuses. Tom mentioned that some tokens will be behind energy shields which you have to overcome somehow.
外星卡会有一些格子用来放工艺品,看起来探索外星人之球就是拿起工艺品标记来获得奖励。设计师指出有些工艺品会放在能量护盾后面,因此不太好搞。
Also, the new Explore action for the Orb not only lets you explore first, but it also moves you to the front of the turn order for future explorations of the Orb. There will be a cardboard track to keep track of turn order. Thus if you picked Explore Orb last turn and someone else picks it this turn, they would go first, you would go second, etc.
此外,探索行动不仅可以让你第一个探索,也让你在将来探索的时候处在前面。会有一个顺位条来指示你们的探索。如果你上一回合选择了探索外星人之球,而下回合有人选了这个行动,那么他第一个动,你第二。(一开始的顺序似乎是按起始星球顺位)
As far as I can remember, the card's Settle power is that you flip over the top card, settle it immediately for no cost if it's a nonmilitary world, and take it into your hand if it's not.
虫洞的效果是如果翻出了不是和平星球的东西,放到手里
This might be a no-brainer, but Tranship (Transit?) Point also lets you consume all of those in one turn if you have enough consume powers.
中转点有点无脑,如果你有足够多的消费能力,可以一次卖空中转点的牌
The expansion is still waiting on artwork for the Orb cards, but the artwork for the normal cards looked great as always. Tom is now working on writing up the final rules.
外星人之球的卡牌还在调整插画,但普通牌看起来很好。设计师目前在写规则书最终稿。
In the future the three current expansions may be repackaged and sold in one box. Right now there are no plans to package the base game with anything else; it will continue to be sold by itself.
在未来,1-3扩会放在一个盒子里面卖。但基础不会和任何东西打包卖。
I don't remember exactly, but I think Tom said the dice in Roll for the Galaxy represent your crew or workers, and the faces have different actions (Explore, Develop, etc.) with varying frequencies. The game will have the same icons as Race so that it can serve as an introduction for someone totally new to the series and give the games a gentler learning curve.
我记不清了。但好像银河竞骰里面骰子代表了你的工人和船员,每个面是不同的行动(探索、开发、等),每个骰子上不同面的频率不对等。游戏的符号和银河竞逐一样,可以推银河竞逐用。(前略,天国的圣胡安)
