Suggestion: Objective Cards

[Mobius187]

I've mentioned this before in an older thread, but just in case GG is searching for stretch goals and they wanted to keep the cost/space factors down, how about creating cards whose purpose is to serve as objectives? Right now during missions we locate objective marker tokens, spend an Action, and trigger an event... like unlock a similar coloured door. But wouldn't it be better if after retrieving the objective marker it actually gave the survivor an associated objective card? It could be a security keycard, keyring, spare tire, ect. And unlike the imaginary objective items, these ones would actually take up a space in the player's inventory. Now missions could state the player with <blank> item card needs to be the one to trigger an event (i.e. unlock the blue door).

Just a thought.

One can just say something like "The Blue Objective (spare tyre) should be treated like equipment. It occupies a single inventory slot, and may be traded between survivors" and then something like "The survivor with the Blue Objective must spend an entire turn replacing the flat tyre on the car", for example.

True, that's certainly one way to get around the limitation of not having the actual card for the objective. My suggestion is primarily just another way to add extra value to the game through a stretch goal, as there seem to be only a limited number of options open to GG now (i.e. +miniature, +optional survivor, +free survivor) and any additional miniatures have to take package space into account. I know that with the original Zombicide box the 3 plastic trays of zombie miniatures just barely fits inside. Cards would be one of the better ways to add value and not take up too much space. Is it the best suggestion? Nah. I would prefer more weapon/item cards, however if GG doesn't have that option on hand I would be willing to accept objective item cards.
