Explanation of Card Template
Tags: Lists the tags found on the card. Generally, tags will be considered to have a value of "0". Instead, they will impact the cost of cards (explained when that becomes necessary). The card's set will also be displayed here.Add. Requirements: Additional requirements based on the card.
Card List Cost: The cost of the card as listed on the card
Costs/Value: Costs are measured in 4 types
Actual- This is the cost as measured from the card (not normalized).
Normal- Normalized costs are the cost normalized to a standard cost of 13. This is explained in earlier articles.
Max-The maximum normalized value possible. This valued is found if the card is played as early as possible for those cards which have an income per turn.
Min-This is valued as if the card were played as late as possible.
Req. Cost-This is the calculated cost based on the card's requirements.
Effect Cost-Some cards have an ongoing, or effective, effect which has some cost calculated here.
VP Value-VP Value is the measured increase based on Victory points.
Income Value- Measures the value of the card based on its income. As mentioned in earlier articles, this is the income based on an average play of the card.
Final Profit/Loss-This is the card's final (initial) gain or loss from playing the card.
ROI (Return on Investment)- This is the card's calculated return based on the card's cost. For those mathematically inclined, this is found using the following formula: [Gain-Cost]/Cost.
Breakeven- This is either how many uses, or how many turns, are needed for the card to pay for itself.
Any notes for the card will appear after This point.
Notes
Trans-Neptunian Probe is arguably the simplest of cards, and the reason it was chosen first. It has no requirements, generates 1VP, and has 2 tags. That is all there is to it. How does it fare against other cards? A question for future articles...
