5 years ago Interesting idea. I can say that something like this won't be considered for a good while, as other stuff has priority. I do foresee a balance issue where you pay 250 gold and get five Perfects.
Add an option before gem placement to allow players to keep every gem of a selected quality when they select a gem of a specific quality.
Example Prices: Chipped - costs 50g Flawed - costs 75g Normal - costs 100g Flawless - costs 150g Perfect - costs 250g
Let's say the player chooses flawed: During the placement, the player gets,
Flawed Emerald Normal Diamond Chipped Sapphire Flawless Ruby Flawed Amethyst
The player chooses the keep the Flawed Emerald for that round.
Since before that placement he paid to keep all flawed gems, then the player also gets to keep the Flawed Amethyst along with the Flawed Emerald.
If the player had kept a gem quality other than flawed, then the player would not have kept any flawed gems.
