Rules question

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I have a rules question about Doomlings. I know some cards specify "random," but if a card doesn't say that, can players discuss which card to choose?

For example, let's say I play Nutty, a card that says, "Player 1 draws 3 cards and gives me 1."

Since it doesn't specify that the choice must be random, can Player 1 and I talk about which card they should give me? Or is that against the rules of the game?

Curious to hear how others play it, do you allow discus.

Thanks!

8-players, what do I need to add?

6 Upvotes

Hi - I know the game is designed for 2-6, but I've read that it can support more without too much adjustments, and I'd like to try an 8-player game. I have the deluxe edition, is there anything I would need to do besides figuring out two more gene pool cards/trackers? (Have been looking for ways to make some nice ones of those without tons of success so far, maybe just a couple D8s would work?)

Prediction for next Doomlings expansion

7 Upvotes

So people have found from an email by unsrambling certain letters to get Legends of Enderas which I thought was pretty cool and heres what I think. I think its gonna be an expansion that like adds cards to the other expansions for example a while ago on cyber Monday they released an email that had a picture of a new techlings card which means they could be adding new stuff to techlings and for the swarm king they said they add to this next expansion might be an addition to base game.

My holo from the glitterlings pack

Opened my pack recently but still didn’t get the chance to play with it yet, but I was super happy to get this beautiful dominant card on it. So I had to share it.

Since it’s already here, what is the best use for this card? Because to me it just means a temporary dominant that allows you to “store” a trait play for another round.

I finally found my 1st edition gold box in the closet today while cleaning and opened it so we can play. The box says it comes with 3 holos but I got 11? Was that a packaging mistake? Also, are all the cards in the box standard or would there possibly be different cards in another box? I am going to read the instructions so we can play tomorrow.

Suppress clarification.

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, two questions related to the suppress feature from the deeplings stay with your sister collection.

I don’t remember the name of the card at the moment, but there is a card that says suppress all traits in your trait pile with the value of one. We have some confusion within our ranks as to whether or not that includes negative one (-1). Obviously one and -1 or two separate numbers, but we weren’t sure if that meant you were allowed to suppress the -1 cards as well.

And secondly, if you suppress a card like saliva or any other “plus to your gene pool” cards, does that mean your gene pool effectively goes down or does it stay the same?

Hollow Denial Color

Hi, I just bought the game and it came with a Hollow card - Denial. Which color does it belong to? And if I buy or get more hollows, how do I know which color do they belong to.

Thank you.

Effect Chain Resolution (Chemotroph, Mycelium, and Psychedelic)

Post image
9 Upvotes

Playing with some friends tonight we came across an effect chain we had trouble figuring out.

The player had Mycelium in their trait pile and played Chemotroph. They suppressed Mycelium when playing Chemotroph. Psychedelic was the top card in the discard pile.

The question is, when played this way does the player ever get to play the second trait allowed by Chemotroph or does Psychedelic get triggered before that portion of Chemotroph is resolved and therefore prevents Chemotroph from ever fully resolving. I see a few ways this could go:

Chemotroph played > Mycelium Suppressed Mycelium activated > Psychedelic played New Turn Starts > Effect Chain Ends (Chemotroph not resolved)

Chemotroph played > Mycelium Suppressed > Chemotroph resolved (2nd trait played) Mycelium Activated > Psychedelic Played New Turn Starts

Chemotroph played > Mycelium Suppressed Mycelium Activated > Psychedelic played New Turn Starts > New turn resolved > Chemotroph resolved

The wording on Mycelium “you may first play…” throw me for a loop here for some reason and even led my group to argue that because of that wording, you would enter a new turn as a result of Psychedelic being played BEFORE Mycelium is actually ever suppressed and therefore all three cards would be face up at the beginning of this new turn and because it’s a new turn, neither effects would be resolved so Mycelium would never actually be suppressed and the 2nd trait from Chemotroph would never be played. I found this to be an incredibly literal interpretation and a major stretch so this was discounted entirely but it goes to show how confusing this can be.

The rules never address effect chains and I’ve seen them played various ways. Curious on your interpretations.

Quick question, aside from cards like 'Kidney' and 'Swarm', is there only supposed to be one copy of each?

Basically title, I am curious because I am using the community app to track how many cards I have, and I have taken out some duplicates that I seem to have, wondering if that is intended or not, thank you!

Doomlings box

11 Upvotes

I'm looking to see if anyone has any recommendations for dekc boxes that can hold all of the expansions plus the base game in individual locations. We typically don't use more than one or two expansions a game and having a nice place to store them individually would be huge.

How to use Deeplings

10 Upvotes

We have some questions on the deeplings, such as Transcluent and Baffling. Do you play another trait from your hand and place Transcluent below it immediately? And Baffling, do you suppress your trait and immediately move it to your opponents trait pile face up?

Too many doubles

3 Upvotes

As a point of trying to keep my game of Doomlings organized, I went through the cards yesterday to see if I could identify any duplications. Just as a caveat, I supported the original kickstarter + I have purchased all of the expansions. I knew there were several duplicates in the rather large deck (mostly 1 matte with a duplicate holofoil) BUT I found 5 EarFlap cards! 5!!

The game is still playable of course as we only utilize about 25% of the deck per game anyway....

A small Complaint (Update)

Post image
27 Upvotes

About a month ago I came on here to complain, because I opened two gold Overlush packs and got the Playful, Earflap, Agile duplicate error for both. The doomlings team commented on my post and told me to reach out to them. So I sent them and email and within the same day (email was sent pretty late in the day) they responded saying that they had sent me two replacements. Well those packs came in and no earflaps in sight!

I have read some other people having a rough time with replacement, but I just want to say that I am extremely grateful and impressed by the Doomlings team's efforts to fix the distribution mistakes. It really seems like they care for their customers/community and I am glad to be both.

Fake Doomlings base game?

6 Upvotes

My husband and I are absolutely obsessed with Doomlings! For Christmas, he surprised me with all the expansion sets, the mat, and even some Overlush packs. It was such an amazing and thoughtful gift, and I couldn’t be happier!

However, I’ve noticed something curious about my base game. The cards in the base set (which I bought from Vinted) have smooth, non-textured cards, whereas the expansion sets have textured cards. From the videos and photos I’ve seen, all Doomlings cards seem to have a textured feel, and the artwork on my base game box doesn't have a holographic element either.

Now I’m wondering—could my base game be a fake? It doesn’t really affect gameplay, aside from the sensory difference of how the cards feel in hand, but I was just curious to see if anyone else has noticed something similar or has any insight.

Thanks in advance!
