Dominion Articles / Re: All-around cards

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but a card in the style of Jack is bureaucrat.  Has 3 small effects (gain silver, your next hand is better, opponent's next hand is worse) that is mainly useful only for big money.

I'm not sure if this counts as off topic, but i solved -stef-'s game

i will be listing turns as 1-9 so 1st player plays the odd ones, 2nd player plays the even ones

1st player turn 1:  +3
1st player turn 3:  +5 if (losing by 11 or 12) otherwise +3 if (losing by 10 or less) +10 if (losing by 13 or more)
1st player turn 5:  +5 if (losing by 5, 6, 11, or 12), otherwise +3 if (losing by 10 or less) +10 if (losing by 13 or more)
1st player turn 7:  +5 if (losing by 4, 5, or winning by 8, 9, 10), otherwise +3 if (losing by 8 or less), +10 if (losing by 9 or more)
1st player turn 9:  logical, try for the win (behind by 3 or 4 need a 5, behind by 5 or more needs a 10, losing by 2 or less needs 3's)

2nd player turn 2:  +10 if (losing by 10) otherwise +3 [ignores impossible cases]
2nd player turn 4:  +10 if (losing by 6 or more) +3 if (losing by 5 or less)
2nd player turn 6:  +5 if (losing by 1,2,8) otherwise +3 if (tied or winning) +10 if (losing)
2nd player turn 8:  +5 if (losing by 1,2 or winning by 5,6,7),  otherwise +3 if (tied or winning) +10 if (losing)

overall the odds of 1st player winning is 59%

the 5's seem to not effect the overall strategy, and instead are tactical options  due to special cases (if 2nd is losing by 1 or 2, missing a 5 is no worse than missing a 3, but is alot better if it hits)

Dominion: Dark Ages Previews / Re: The Bold Predictions Thread

« on: August 23, 2012, 10:57:21 am »

I predict that the secret history of dark ages will have at least 5 former intrigue cards mentioned (as that was the "one shot" expansion before that theme got scrapped).  but that isn't all that bold, i want a bolder prediction

"Shanty Town: I took this from the ruins of the 7th expansion."

I boldly predict that the ruins of 7th expansion was literally the ruins of the 7th expansion this whole time!
