DW Version 4.0 Inbound
« on: September 02, 2025, 10:37:19 pm »
Has anyone else been keeping up with the news on 4.0 posted over on the WC blog? I've got a video in the works to discuss it, but there are some major changes coming to the game. The new rules should be out by the end of the month!

New mechanics, new cards, new token sets...the jump from 3.0 to 4.0 is going to be like the jump from 1.1 to 2.0 back in the day.

Good summary in your video; I have been going through the design notes for 4.0 and what has gotten my attention the most is the scoring setup...

...I don't know how they will be balancing primary, secondary, and tertiary objectives across different scenarios, and think that has a lot of potential to craft a good table experience, but really would like to have an idea of what amount of points is available between small, medium, and large.
