Colour? Region? Guild? oO

[OneLeafClover]

Magic have colours... Pokemons have types... Magi-nation have regions....

The Spoils have Bankers, Warlords, Arcanists, Gearsmiths and Rogues... but... what are they? Race? Guild? Civilization?

[Great White Nothing]

Good question sir.

From what I gather, the rules never once refferences what exactly the card 'types' are, and calling them types does not work since the term TYPE refers to the sub types of characters and items.

[gitwer]

Considering they're called faction cards, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess they're called... factions?

Personally, I vote for MSI's, or Motivated Self-Interests :P

Factions are actually the figurehead card of your deck that determines how much influence you start with, and how and when you draw and play resources, faction cards, and the apparent different groups of cards, are different animals.

[Secran]

Professions? and the associated 'stereotype' on the card (bankers and greed)

[Great White Nothing]

Yeah, stereotypes like bankers with Greed. Still, now that I think about it, I am shocked they did not give these super types a collective name.

[jedibcg]

I still think they represent the different factions of The Spoils world. Hey what is this world called anyway. Anyone?

[Great White Nothing]

I don't think they are factions, the only faction card we have is The Tournament Faction, and it's not one of the five. I do not think they are related.

[jedibcg]

But it would make sense that they are the various factions of the world. Just because we have only seen one faction card doesn't mean anything. Who knows maybe The Tournament Faction is that Faction. Maybe there will be a Tournament Faction. The resources are just the methods the various factions use to achieve their goals. I dunno I am just guessing.

[Great White Nothing]

That's a good point, I assumed the five we saw would be all there would be.

Even so, I think that the groups ( Bankers Gearsmiths, etc.) will not be referred to as Factions, that would over complicate things. But you do raise good points, it could turn out to be the way you theorized.
