If you’re looking for point cost recommendations on Foxtrot, I’d probably start at 9 or 10.

Oops, she does have a point cost, incidentally it’s a point cost of 10. I just left it out by accident when I posted last night. That said I think I like 9 better. Adj…[Read more]

You should make that a “once per turn” or “as part of a XXXXX action” ability, just so players can’t use it to annoy opponents by looking at the same coins over and over.  As written, it could be used at any time and as often as you wanted, without any timing restrictions or limits.
