Rules Questions / Swindler Question
« on: June 09, 2019, 07:02:34 pm »
So I was playing a game of Dominion with my family and stumbled upon this little rule dispute regarding the Swindler, an attack from Intrigue. Basically my brother Throne Roomed a Swindler and I only had one card left in my deck when he did this. His Swindler trashed this last card, leaving my deck empty and triggering the dispute.

He argued that since his attack required me to have cards in my deck and since my deck was empty, I should shuffle my discard pile and form a new deck for him to perform his second Swindler. I thought that because it was an attack from another player talking about my deck and not me myself playing a card that said something about my own deck, I didn't have to shuffle and his Swindler should just be sad that the deck was empty.

The Swindler is part of Intrigue, which emphasizes choices that you may not be able to comply with, so I thought my suggestion made sense. Also, I couldn't find much on this specific scenario. Obviously, if you yourself played a card that required you to trash the top card of your own deck and your deck was empty, you would shuffle your discard pile and make a new deck. I just didn't know if it would be different when it was another player's attack doing this. Does anyone have any insight on what to do here?
