So here's an interesting idea I came up with, and people could try: Minors that are passing *or* not passing.
Probably can do much more interesting things than +1w or -1w for 1 point, but this is a start.		 kimball

i think it's more than that: it's "minors with multiple possible completely different effects" (2 different cards merged in 1, but you can play only one of them) i don't like that.

Well, i think the reward for pass the card should be better than keep the card.
For example receive 2 (or 3) wood or pay 1 wood for a Bonus Point.		 juuh!

letsdance: Why are minors with possibly completely different effects a bad thing?
juuh: Yeah, maybe so, but I'm hesitant to have a free pass +2w card. I just picked +1w because I know that building material gets drafted often enough.		 kimball

How about receiving 1 wood and placing it in your hand again or receiving 2 wood and pass it to the next player? senseless

because its the same as having 2 different cards (and being only allowed to play one of them) instead of just 1. if you like both of these effects, why not make 2 cards?

imagine if every card could do everything at players choice. that would be pretty boring.		 letsdance

The beauty of this kind of cards is that you can choose which effect to use depending on the game state.
Which one is more boring, "receive 1 cattle" or "receive 1 animal of your choice"?

But I agree on your previous point: both effects should be related.		 senseless

receive 1 animal of your choice is more boring. you can only make 1 such card, but you can make 1 of each for receiving cattle, boar and sheep.

these also require to plan ahead for them. if you have "take 1 cattle", the decision which animals to take with an action is harder. with "1 of your choice" you just play as you would anyways and then take the animal that you're missing.		 letsdance

That's why cards with more flexibility are suited for plan B situations and should have less power than 'fixed' cards, which should be more powerful if you can get them to work but dead cards if you don't.		 senseless
