Dominion: Adventures Previews / Re: Previews #5 - Lost Arts, Borrow, Inheritance
« on: April 03, 2015, 10:57:57 am »Lost Arts does not set aside a card; Inheritance does.I am guessing that the +1 action token is no longer effective once the supply pile you put it on its empty (a la band of misfits)? Or is it viable for the rest of the game, regardless?
I suppose it is still effective, as you set aside the card (and also it would prevent that card to be bought and count towards emptying the pile).
That's why it prevents setting aside Victory cards. If not, you could set aside the last Province for $7 if you want to trigger the end of the game.
Inheritance doesn't allow Victory cards because they were too automatic. It's also confusing.
Sorry, my mistake!!!

So, if the pile is empty, and we can't set aside the card, we get the benefit anyway?

Calling is not playing; when you play the card, you're playing it, and when you call it, you're calling it. Calling it does put it "into play" though, which matters for Peddler etc.
So, another use for Coin of the Realm could be a combo with Bank, awaiting for the precise moment where you need $1 more.

Dominion: Adventures Previews / Re: Preview: Storyteller
« on: March 30, 2015, 02:07:56 pm »I still don't get it...
What does "Pay all your $" mean?
Let's say I play a Treasury, then a Storyteller, and play a Venture (which drew a Gold) and a Bank as part of the storyteller. How many cards do I draw from the Storyteller?
The Treasury gave me +$1, the Storyteller gave me +$1, and the Venture gave me +$1, the Gold gave me +$3, and the Bank gave me +$3. That's a total of $9.
So I draw 9 cards, and have 11 in hand with 1 action left to play.
Does that example help?
(Edited to fix brain-fart over how much a Gold gave)
In that case, you get the 9 cards (to continue your action phase) but not the $9 for the buy phase, don't you?
That's the meaning of "Pay all you $"?
Thank you very much!

Dominion: Dark Ages Previews / Re: Band of Misfits rules questions
« on: August 16, 2012, 09:30:58 am »I think TR selected an action card from your hand, which was most definitely BoM at that step, since it hasn't been (about to be) played yet. At any rate, regardless of whether it selected BoM-as-Feast, that card is no longer BoM-as-Feast by the time TR2 rolls around.
(Obviously, Donald has prerogative to issue clarifications or errata whenever he feels, but I don't think the cards as written suggest the ruling as given for TR-BoM-Feast.)
Yes, but you're Throne Rooming a BoM-as-Feast, not a BoM simply. To "Throne Room" something is not simply to choose it with Throne Room, but to also play it with Throne Room. To be "activated" by Throne Room means both chosen AND put in play, and as soon as you say "play," BoM is a Feast (or whatever). You don't stop saying "play" until the Throne Room has run it's course.
====
Essentially:
Play Throne Room.
Choose a card. (What card? BoM.)
Play that card twice. (What card? BoM-as-Feast.)
vs.
Play Throne Room.
Choose a card. (What card? BoM.)
Play that card twice. (What card? BoM-as-Feast.)
Play the chosen card. (BoM-as-Feast)
Reevaluate the status of the chosen card.
Play the chosen card. (BoM)
====
Scenario 1 looks like Throne Room... simple and direct.
Scenario 2 adds in a lot more that isn't simply or directly on Throne Room.
I totally agree with you.
I believe the problem is that TR's "Play it twice." does not exactly mean "Play it. Play it." (though in most cases it is just the same).
IMHO "Play it twice" means that the evaluation of the card is just made at the beginning, there's no middle point to reevaluate the state of the card.
And also I think this is the most intuitive way to play it. I play with a lot of people that are no experienced gamers (so they tend to use their intuition a lot more than us that try to think everything in a more complicated "combo" way), and when they play TR or KC, they just look at the card at the beginning...

Fool's Gold + Council Room deck... wouldn't it be a good strategy?
And if you can add Border Village... (and gain more Fool's Gold and Council Rooms...)

« on: October 13, 2011, 09:49:54 am »Border Village:
If there's a Talisman in play: I buy a Border Village, gain a Smithy and gain a second one. Great! Question: 2 Bridges, Play a Talisman, buy a BV, get 2, so I get 4 Smithies, right?
Why would you gain 2 Smithies in the first case? Talisman says "when you buy a card". You're not buying Smithy, so no other copy is gained. Buying implies gaining but gaining doesn't imply buying.
So in both cases I think you'd gain 1 Smithy per BV. You do get 2 BV and 2 Smithies with Talisman and 2 Bridges.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Card ideas for using basic Treasure, Victory and Curse randomizer cards?
« on: June 22, 2011, 03:06:23 pm »
Yes, I've read that they were intended to mark the empty piles, that's why they were included in Dominion.
But no one use them for that (it's better to use blank cards...).
That's why they didn't do the same for other cards, in the expansions (e.g. Platinums and Colonies).
I just don't like to have useless cards, so I'm looking for a Dominion gaming use for these cards.

Variants and Fan Cards / Card ideas for using basic Treasure, Victory and Curse randomizer cards?
« on: June 22, 2011, 10:27:06 am »
I would like to trigger a brainstorming session about creating card ideas to make the basic randomizer cards useful (Copper, Silver, Gold, Estate, Duchy, Province, Curse).
For example:
Cup Game ($5)
-------------------------------
Trash a card from your hand, costing $3 or more.
Reveal 1 Card of the Basic deck per $2 in its cost.
Either you or the other players gain a copy of one of them.
Return the revealed cards to the Basic deck and shuffle it.
-------------------------------
Setup:
Before the game, make a Basic deck with the randomizer cards of the basic Treasure, Victory and Curse cards.
For example:
Cup Game ($5)
-------------------------------
Trash a card from your hand, costing $3 or more.
Reveal 1 Card of the Basic deck per $2 in its cost.

You can choose any way you like to select Black Market deck cards, the rules are not specific about that.
For example, I sometimes use a copy of all cards that are not in the supply (more or less 75 cards), or randomly select 15 cards.
