I'm not sure I understand the chapel game 2. There's no witch so why would you trash your cards? Otherwise great play. Game 3 is a textbook example of the dominant village engine.

One thing about Feodum is the silvers help you get provinces as well as the feodums. Only losing the province split 5-3, or even tying it, while also having 3 point feodums is not hard to do

I think ambassador is still number one as it is a pretty fast "trasher". Its speed just isn't appreciated because we always end up in ambassador wars, but try going without ambassador the other player will go fast. Also head to head I think ambassador would win as it would get rid of the cards faster. This is assuming an engine though, and BM will prefer Masq. Overall, I still think ambassador reigns supreme

The only real absolute stopper on the UI side (at least in my opinion) is the inability to display a text log inside the game window. Are there any plans to implement some form of this?

Forager will become useless after estates and coppers have been trashed, while loan will provide money still.

So Chapel becomes useless too after you trashed your starting cards. Does this makes it a bad card? I see what you mean but non-terminal trashing is very strong.

Chapel is so much faster though. The thing with forager is if you buy a bunch you won't have much of an economy early as the plus money is either +1 or zero after trashing a copper. If you buy one it's slow. How is it so much better then loan? They are very similar.

The thing about market square is I think it's much better in DA heavy games as they will have more trashing. Otherwise, it has two uses: engines without any other plus buy, or in games with good early trashing. Otherwise, it's useless. The comparison to tunnel is obvious, but tunnel's 2 VP are much better then the plus buy IMO.

Are you trolling? Market square is fantastic. And forager has lots of applications too, as non-terminal +buy and trashing are fairly rare. I'd say it finds a frequent home in engines. And if there are alternate treasures, and/or incentives to trash treasure (remodel, contraband), look out, it just gets silly.

No I'm serious here. Market square is good in engines, but useless in Big money, slogs or rush strategies. And forager is usually used for trashing curses, estates or coppers right? For coppers it's just a +1 action, which is worse then loan. It provides money for curses and estates, but most of the time only $1. Loan can't be drawn dead, while this can. Forager will become useless after estates and coppers have been trashed, while loan will provide money still.

BTW, what do you guys think about that none of the new Dark Ages cards appeared so far?

I'm surprised foarager has not appeared, I think it's pretty similar to loan. And market square isn't so hot either.

By the looks of some of the moves in the trailer Chespin may be dark and Fennikin Psychic (at their final evolution) so if Froakie is fighting it could be a reverse type triangle.

I'd buy Ruined Library with Fishing Village.

Why? It doesn't do anything for you.

With King's Court, it draws a card.


You laugh, because it should never work. I agree with you, but you know, sometime Marin would kill you with it.

Sure but if there's no KC you wouldn't buy it with FV as pops said.

In your "what defines an engine" section I think you want to say "the biggest thing that defines an engine" instead of "the biggest thing that defines an action".

start out as lowly Pawns, so surely we must end up as Kings

Or possibly Knights.

The normal workshop/ironworks/armory will work. As would explorer, but that's more expensive so I think less viable.

Another point about the 2 cards is they just can't be "eh, I have 2 I'll pick one up"; they have to be a focal point of your deck to be considered great. Cards like cellar and vagrant fit into the average category, you'll never not pick it up at 2 but you're not excited about it.

Reading what some of these DA cards do was pretty cool, and while I admit this is probably not at all the right thread for it, Vagrant seems totally sweet to me, and I don't see why it's ranked so low.

Well the copper gaining aspect isn't great, it's terrible for engines, meh for big money but great for slogs. The silver aspect is kind of situational. You need to have it in hand when the attack is played, and then it is taking up space in your hand. The silvers isn't great for engines too, which attack cards are often played in engine sets.

One third of the ruins causing cards is death cart which is a nice engine card and ruined market can help a lot with death cart.
