I’ve been thinking about a variant around making building types matter.For instance, you could discard an object to use an ability.
Rough ideas around discarding objects (you may discard exactly one object on your turn):
Crown: when buying, buy any number blocks of any one type (instead of "from one sector") at their respective prices
Porta: −$1 or $2 to every block you buy this turn
Book: consider up to 2 blocks one colour higher when building
Chalice: take 1 white block from the wheel (bag?)
Shield: discard another shield to score a city already scored by an opponent and not you (you must still have the 2-3 buildings required)
Flag: when building, build one extra building before refill
Other ideas:
score 1VP for every $5 you currently have
get 1VP / $1 for every object of a given type that you have
Any ideas?
