Dominion General Discussion / Re: "You may" on Events
« on: March 26, 2020, 08:28:45 am »One totally edge case reason Stef came up with is that you may want to buy a Messenger (corrected), but not distribute cards. Choosing a "you may" Event first allows you to do that (so Courier isn't your first buy). But I think the real reason is what hhelibebcnofnena wrote, maybe you misread Enhance and wanted to Enchance a Province into a Province and your opponent doesn't let you take back the buy, then you can just say that you don't want to Enhance anything.
I guess if we're looking for even edgier cases, it could be that you're planning to somehow play Storyteller and don't want to draw that much. Either you're planning to go back to your Action phase (Villa or Cavalry), or you're going to play it in you Buy phase after you started buying (through Innovation, Gamble or Way of the Mouse).
Are you allowed to buy "once per turn" and "once per game" events more than once? Is the "once per turn" a limit on how many times you can buy it, or how many times the effect can happen? Can you buy it for no effect the second time?
I would assume that's a limit on how many times the effect can happen, not on how many times you can buy it.
The Menagerie rulebook doesn't specify, but in the Adventures roolbook, on events like Alms it says "You can only buy this once per turn"
.... Did I really type "roolbook"? *facepalm*
You even managed to spell it right earlier in that sentence!
