Title: Did I play Procession + Lighthouse per the rules?
Post by: Brando Commando on October 18, 2012, 10:54:24 am
I've been meaning to ask this for days, but I'm at work and can't look at the rulebook. Anyway...

If I use Procession on a Lighthouse, I think that means that I play the Lighthouse twice (getting +$2 and +2 actions), trash it for a $3 card, and then leave the Procession out through my next turn. During that time between turns, I won't have Lighthouse protection, but at the beginning of my next turn, I will get +$2.

Right?

Looks good to me. The Dark Ages rulebook covers the case of Procession modifying a duration.

If you use Procession on a Duration card (from Seaside),
Procession will stay out until your next turn and the Duration
card will have its effect twice on your next turn, even though the
Duration card is trashed.

I just wish it mentioned Lighthouse specifically, since Lighthouse has that "while this card is in play" clause.

Lighthouse will not be in play and so you won't get that benefit.

You know... if Outpost were worded "If this is in play from a previous turn, Outposts played this turn can't cause you to take another extra turn," then you would have been able to Procession an Outpost for two extra turns.  Somehow I think that would have been fine, because since Procession trashes, you're limited in extra turns by however many are in your deck.  Of course, Graverobber and Rogue could still wreak havoc with that.  How often are Procession, Outpost and Graverobber in the same kingdom?

No more frequently than King's Court, Goons, and Masquerade are, surely.

You mean Masquerade, King's Court/Throne Room, Goons/Militia/Margrave/Ghost Ship/Minion/Outpost.
