I messed up the wording, should be "When you play this, if you have already trashed a card this turn, you may trash a card from your hand"

Here's an update. Note that
- It now gives +1 action, making it easier to play multiple pyramids a turn
- I have added the Attack type, this means it now triggers reactions and also it now has 3 types, making it useful with cards like courtier
- It now gives 3 VP if you win
- I've priced it at four, so it could have some trash for benefit value
- clarification for ties

My friend wanted a card to kill engines 
. I think this should do the job. 20 in the supply. Could maybe add +1 action

Here's my fix to the card I was previously calling Crypt(I've changed the name because there is already a card with that name).
The new card is also quite a bit weaker, which I think fixes the swinginess problem.

« on: August 15, 2020, 05:09:59 am »What do you get when you cross a chapel with a cellar?There is already a card named Crypt. Also, you designed a card that is basically always a mandatory turn 2 buy, which means it's going to be swingy when the opening split is different for the players.
I'm not sure I follow, isn't it a decent turn 1 buy as you can then pay off the debt by the end of turn 2, regardless of the split you get?

I agree

« on: July 14, 2020, 02:03:45 pm »Pretty crazy three-pile machine I suspect. Maybe Motel only needs to trash one card per turn.
Maybe this might work, I've removed the once per turn, reduced to one trashed card, and added a stipulation.
Motel
Cost: 2$
+1 Card
+2 Actions
Discard all treasures from your hand, gain a motel.
If there are no empty supply piles, you may trash an action card from the supply costing up to 4$

I was thinking of this as part of the appeal. Its a village you can use to starve your opponents of villages, giving yourself strategic advantage.
It does seem it would be a bit luck based around who goes first and who draws their motel first

Motel/Filling Station Split - Motel on top
Motel
Cost: 2$
+1 Card
+2 Actions
Discard all treasures from your hand, gain a motel.
If this is the first time you have played a motel this turn, you may trash 2 action cards from the supply costing up to $4.
Filling Station
Costs: 6$
+3 cards
+ $1
You may trash a motel from your hand for + $4 and +1 buy
I think there's some potential here if its tweaked but in its current form probably qualifies as terrible

« on: August 22, 2018, 05:14:21 am »So, I just came up with this thing:
Mice - $4
+1 Action
Gain a Mice.
When you gain this, trash a card from your hand and gain one costing exactly $1 more.
I'm thinking it would be way too good if it had +1 card. As it is now, it's probably still pretty good? It's Rats but without needing another trasher to interact with.
It looks like you are going to often use this to trash other mice. In that case you want to think very carefully about the cost.

« on: August 21, 2018, 11:12:09 am »I decided to turn "Spiders" into "Wasp".
The supply of these is equal to the supply of Curses, so 10 in a 2-player game, 20 in a 3-player, etc.
This will turn the game into a temporary slog until all Wasps are trashed. Don't do this unless you have better Action density, sifting, trashing, or buying than your opponent (Buying lets you trash one from your hand to attack more.)
This one looks interesting. I assume its zero cost to stop it being used as 'trash for benefit', I'd be tempted to put a 5 cost on it to make it harder to gain early.
Maybe one solution is make it cost 3 but say you can't use coppers to buy it (like with Grand Market). This will also alter the dynamic of buying it to trash another. I looks to me at the moment its maybe too easy to get rid of these while the supply pile is there and once players have figured out the correct strategy it could be down to a lot of luck as to who is left with most of them by the time the supply is exhausted.

By my definition anything self gaining that can f** you up is a rats. Your cat might be to tame to qualify.
I was assuming that anything with mandatory self-gaining was a Rats, so Magpie is also a Rats.
Then we will never see eye to eye. I suggest a duel to the death.

I was introduced to Seaside yesterday and the concept of durations. Thought i'd have a go at a card with durations.
As far as I know there don't exist any cards at the moment with -ve actions or buys or coins, until now...
Spillage Village
Type: Action
Cost: 3$
Either -1 buy and start your next turn with 3 actions or put this card anywhere you choose in your deck.

In fact, reading the card again, it isn't actually self gaining.

Cost: $3
Types: Action/Reaction
+2 Cards
You may play a Tribble from your hand.
--
When another player plays an Attack card, you may first reveal this. If you do: Look at the top card of your deck. Discard it or put it back on top. If you discarded another card than a Tribble, gain a Tribble on top of your deck.
I like this but it needs to cost more than 3. It looks to me
to be a no-brainer to open with two of these where you can.
I still think it’s cheap at 4. Though maybe 5 is too much. Guess you’d have to play test it.

I have to admit, though, that the Action tokens are a bit more clever.

For the mole, i think taking away the +1Action might solve it, then can take away the condition about being the first action card. Possibly still too strong with some form of Village, but only if you have a way of keeping victory cards out of your hand.
Mole
Cost: 2$
Gain 2 Moles
Reveal your hand, if you have no victory cards then +4$
I actually think the gain 2 moles makes it weaker than gain 1 mole. Gaining 3 moles would make it even worse. With 2 we get
for example,
Buy a mole turn 1 - 1 mole in deck of 11, 3 estates
Play a mole turn 4 - 3 moles in deck of ~16 3 estates
Play a mole turn 6 and buy a province - 5 moles in deck of ~22 4 victory cards.
At that point I'd probably want to stop playing them until we hit the last 1-2 draws unless i've figured out a way of discarding the victory cards and getting enough actions.
EDIT: Also, I like to think of this as an inverse Baron, plus self gaining.

You're right, maggots is pretty pointless. Here is a modification.
Cost: 0
+2$
Each player gains a maggots or skips a turn
When you buy this, +1 buy
When this is trashed, gain 4 maggots
I'll give some more thought to the other cards.
